Editor's Note Fox's ever-popular slacker family from the fictional town of Springfield continue their antics in the fifth season of the animated series. Clever, dry humor, peppered with pop-culture references and witty inside jokes with the audience, continue to characterize this smart show. In this season, Homer goes back to college and tries to teach the nerds to party, with predictably disastrous results; Bart goes to work for Krusty the Klown and experiences his 15 minutes of fame; Mr. Burns tries to reclaim his long lost toy bear, Bobo, from a fiercely resistant Maggie Simpson; and The Ramones make their famed appearance, playing at Mr. Burns' birthday party. Other episodes included are "Homer's Barbershop Quartet," "Marge on the Lam," "Boy Scoutz N the Hood," "$pringfield (or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling)," "Lisa vs. Malibu Stacy," and "The Boy Who Knew Too Much."

The DVD Report 10 of 10
As the longest running animated show in history, and the longest running prime-time show of any type, The Simpsons is an American treasure - a combination of humor, wit, and satire that examines not just the lives of its eccentric characters, but also the society, culture, and world in which we live. Fun for adults and children alike, The Simpsons is a cutting edge television comedy that, like Seinfeld, altered the television landscape in the 1990's by dictating a new genre of TV fun that spawned network investment in new animated series such as King of the Hill, Futurama, and The Family Guy...Like all new things which smash the paradigm of life, The Simpsons is unrivaled by its knockoffs, and the show doesn't show signs of slowing down. - Britt Gillette
