Editor's Note The longest-running animated show, and the FOX network's most popular series ever, THE SIMPSONS continues to make television history in its seventh season. Unfolding in the fictional town of Springfield, the show features TV's most dysfunctional and best-loved family, comprised of lunkish patriarch Homer, genius do-gooder Lisa, mischievous Bart, baby Maggie, and Marge, the voice of reason. This season sees the celebration of the 138th episode, which takes a look back at the show's origins on the TRACEY ULLMAN SHOW, with producer Troy McClure and also some "hardcore nudity." In "Scenes from a Class Struggle in Springfield," Marge's new dress leads to a struggle to fit in down at the country club, while Mr. Burns's horrid bowling abilities almost brings down the team in "Team Homer." Other episodes include "A Fish Called Selma," "Much Apu about Nothing," "Homerpalooza," and "Who Shot Mr. Burns." The numerous guest stars include Courtney Thorne-Smith, Chris Elliott, Mickey Rooney, Linda and Paul McCartney, Bob Newhart, Donald Sutherland, and Kirk Douglas.

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
