Summary: The Simpsons do it again.
Review: Why should you get this dvd box set? The question your really looking for is why shouldn't you buy it?? If you are a simpsons fan then in no doubt you will have pre-ordered this magnificent dvd....

The Simpsons Complete Fourth Season is when the Simpsons really started to look their "finest" Also the sound is extra sharp, and the writing even better. The third seasonis one of the best dvds ever created...then this is probably the one best dvd box set ever created, bar none. The only gripe I have about this is that Fox is currently releasing one season a year...in my opinion that is insane, by the time they get the 15th season on dvd, there will be something better then dvd, and people will not use it....

Remember Fox, Technology comes a long way in a short time...Anyway if you are a Simpsons fan or not, this is a requirement to add to your dvd collection.... 5 stars

Summary: One of the best seasons...
Review: I have been a loyal fan of The Simpsons ever since the very first season. With the show currently in its 15th season, there have been many memorable episodes throughout the show. However, season 4 is when the show really began to take off. My favorite episodes from this season include "Duffless" which involves Lisa and Bart going to Duff Gardens, "Mr. Plow" which involves Homer starting his very own snow plowing business, "Kamp Krusty" which involves Lisa and Bart and the rest of the kids of Springfield taking over the camp when Krusty fails to appear, "Brother from the Same Planet" which involves Bart getting a big brother due to Homer's neglect, "Last Exit to Springfield" which involves Homer leading a strike at work to get dental benefits from Mr. Burns, and "Itchy and Scratchy :The Movie". Season 4 truly is a great season from start to finish.

The wait is finally over!! It has been announced that season 4 of The Simpsons is finally coming to DVD on June 15, 2004. The set is going to have outstanding extras that includes commentary from Conan O Brian!! That is reason enough to want to buy the set. All I can say, is that it is about time. While I appreciate the people at FOX taking the time to offer first rate DVD sets, it is pretty ridiculous to only be releasing season 4 when the show is currently in season 15. Hopefully the release of season 5 will happen sooner than later.

Summary: Best Season Ever
Review: I'm doing something I've never done - writing a review before release date!! But with good reason.

Season 4 of the Simpsons is the best of their long career - bar none. Where some seasons have good and bad episodes, this one has all GREAT ones.

The creators and writers all hit their stride during this season. Stand-outs are "Last Exit to Springfield", "A Streetcar Name Marge", "Mr. Plow" and my favorite "I Love Lisa".

If you get no other seasons worth of Simpsons, this is the one to splurge for!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The beginning of the truly great episodes
Review: [This review is strictly for the episodes, not the DVD itself, as it hasn't been released yet. When it is released I will review the set in its entirety.]

Season Four of the Simpsons is when the show started looking and sounding like the show we know and love today. The humor wasn't quite as extreme as it is today, but it's this season that started the episodes that could REALLY entertain you. But above all, this is the season that began to establish Grampa as the funniest character on the show. Now, read on for some episode summaries.

Kamp Krusty - For the summer, Bart and Lisa get to go to Kamp Krusty, but one
they get there they discover it's a living hell.

A Streetcar Named Marge - Marge tries out for the starring role in A Streetcar
Named Desire. Though the producer rejects her at first, he gives her the role
upon discovering she is deeply depressed.

Homer The Heretic - Homer skips church one week, and after having such a
great time at home, decides never to go back.

Lisa The Beauty Queen - Lisa places second in a beauty contest, but by default
becomes the new Little Miss Springfield.

Treehouse Of Horror III - A Krusty doll tries to kill Homer, A King Kong parody,
and Bart reviving zombies are the three stories in this season's Halloween
special.

Itchy And Scratchy: The Movie - Bart fails to look after Maggie, and she takes
the car, crashing it. As a punishment, Homer forbids Bart to ever see the new
Itchy and Scratchy movie.

Marge Gets A Job - When the Simpson home takes damage, Marge must take a
job with Homer at the nuclear plant to pay for it.

New Kid On The Block - A teenage girl moves into a home near the Simpsons
and Bart falls in love with her.

Mr. Plow - At a car convention, Homer buys a snow plow and uses it to become
a local hero.

Lisa's First Word - While wondering when Maggie will speak her first words,
Homer and Marge tell the story of when Lisa spoke hers.

Homer's Triple Bypass - Homer begins to have heart problems, and shops
around for the cheapest surgeon.

Marge Vs. The Monorail - Springfield uses its newly-obtained three million
dollars to build a monorail.

Selma's Choice - When Homer gets too sick to take Bart and Lisa to a new
amusement park, Selma takes them instead. They raise hell there.

Brother From The Same Planet - Bart begins to hate Homer, and gets a new
father figure from a local non-profit organization. Meanwhile Homer uses the
same organization to get a new son.

I Love Lisa - When Lisa shows pity for Ralph on Valentine's day, he falls in love
with her.

Duffless - When his driver's license is revoked for drunk driving, Homer must
give up beer.

Last Exit To Springfield - The power plant attempts to do away with its dental
plan. Homer fights to save it because Lisa is in need of braces.

So It's Come To This: A Simpsons Clip Show - Bart shakes up a beer can in a
paint mixer, and when Homer opens it the explosion hospitalizes him. The family
then recounts past experiences.

The Front - Bart and Lisa write a series of Itchy and Scratchy cartoons under
Grampa's name.

Whacking Day - Bart is expelled from school. Soon enough he and Lisa try to do
away with a very awkward town holiday.

Marge In Chains - Marge accidentally forgets to pay for an item at the local
convenience store and must spend a month in jail.

Krusty Gets Kancelled - A new puppeteer steals Krusty's ratings. He becomes increasingly desperate for ways to stay on the air.

If you're a Simpsons fan, you'd be doing yourself a huge favor. These are GREAT episodes all the way, and I strongly recommend them.

Summary: This Is What Is Considered Great TV
Review: I am sorry but after Season 3 the Simpsons just collapsed into a tepid joke machine more concerned with making snide comments about our society's problems and mining satire out of contrived and absurd situations. I am come on, at least put some effort into making the plot coherent and somewhat believable. Granted this is a cartoon and all, but still for being considered one of the greatest shows ever, it seems to lack any semblance of reason.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: At Long Last
Review: With the Seasonal Episodes coming out every few months it gets exciting as a new season comes out on DVD.

I really am enjoying season three. Season Four is going to be a rip. Mr. Plow.....Yes that's the name it's Mr. Plow. How many Doohs are there in the episode of "So it Comes to This:"

There are some issues based shows this season too. More than the previous years, there is some issues regarding working mothers, (Marge Gets a Job), Bart's first love (New Kid on the Block), Marge as activist, (Marge versus the Monorail), Lisa falling in love....really, this is a deeper season, funny and all, yet more involved. Going on Strike because of Dental Benefits....I think those who went on strike here in CA due to an increase in Medical Premiums should have watched that episode.

Some of the images that come to mind are Homer saying dooh so many times, the man with an arm where his leg should be and a leg where his arm should be....talk about paying less for a Doctor.

Overall, this DVD should be as fun as the previous seasons. Can't wait to get it.

Summary: I am excited!
Review: I love the Simpsons. I bought the third season on DVD at Target earlier this year, and I loved it. I also bought the second season, but it was not as good as the third season. But, the fourth season will blow away the third season. All of my favorite episodes are on the fourth season, especially the episode where Aunt Selma takes Bart and Lisa to Duff Amusement Park, and they get into all kinds of trouble. My favorite part is where Bart tries to get Lisa to drink the water on the ride, and Selma makes her do it.. lmao! And then Lisa is found running around naked and is brought back to Selma by security. It is so funny, cuz she raises up her hands and shouts, " I am the Lizard Queen!"

LMAO I cannot wait for this DVD!

Summary: Love it, really! But: 1/5 due to shoddy manufacturing.
Review: As I sit here looking over my DVD collection I am focusing on the problems Fox has with its DVD production facilities. I have yet to buy a "complete season collection" DVD set manufactured by Fox which did not have to be replaced due to at least one defective disc in the set. Buffy Seasons 1 through 5, Angel Seasons 1 through 3, and yes, Simpsons Seasons 1 through 3. I wonder whether fans of Futurama and Family Guy have had the same problems?

For shame Fox, for shame! Does anyone know why Fox can produce film DVDs just fine but each season collection I have bought has had to be returned?! The people at Fox certainly don't seem to know or even care: they never have replied to any of the MULTIPLE letters we've sent asking them to explain themselves.

Before you blame me, my DVD player, the retailer, etc., for the problem:
My DVD player works fine with DVDs of other shows (Star Trek, ER, Friends, The Jeffersons, CSI, Monk, Queer As Folk, Sex And The City, and Six Feet Under have all worked just fine). The defective FoxTV DVDs in question, bought from *many* different retailers (Amazon, BestBuy, CostCo, Wal-Mart, Target, and others), have failed when played in other DVD players besides mine. So there!

It's unfortunate that Fox doesn't care about production quality as much as its competitors do. Season Four of The Simpsons does *rock* -- I'm just bitter at the prospect of having to buy it then return it then buy it again.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The wait is almost over...
Review: The release of The Complete Fourth Season of The Simpsons has been a long wait, about a year, in fact. Let's get it straight: Season 4 is one of the best seasons there is. For me, it holds special meaning because it was the first season I started watching (when I was five years old, believe it or not), and I have seen every new episode on it's first showing since. Classic episodes come back in pure syndicated goodness. Here's some examples:

Itchy and Scratchy the Movie: "I regret nothing!"

Mr. Plow: "You think I'm going to buy a 20,000 dollar car just because you make those whip noises?"

New Kid On The Block: "Listen, you little punk... I'm gonna rip out your eyeballs, and shove them down your pants, so you can watch me kick the crap out of you!"

and of course, a pure classic...

The VERY FIRST Simpsons clip show. Oh, it seems like it was just yesterday. Even if you haven't bought any of the other seasons, get this one if you love the Simpsons at all. It's classic Homer at his finest, it's 10 years old, and the price has been dropped, so its only 45 bucks or so, for about 25 episodes. That's less than 2 dollars an episode, plus extras... So buy buy buy!

Plus, if you're a Simpsons junkie like me just itching to make your Simpsons DVD cabinet (yes, I have a whole cabinet) just a little bit more complete, you NEED this. And it's blue! Fancy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's gonna be GREAT!!!
Review: Set is from one of TV's greatest series (and it just happens to be animated) back in the golden days before it became what it is today. Buy this to remember what it was and enjoy the show again even if you can't stand to watch the new episodes on anymore. Several great Episodes, Treasures you can share with your children and grandchildren. :)
