Weaker Fifth Season 
2007-01-27
Some episodes in this set are classics (the return of Sideshow Bob, the barbershop quartet episode, the Treehouse of Horror, etc.) Unfortunately... and it pains me to say this... for every fifth season episode that hits bulls-eye there's at least one that completely misses the mark. Unless you're a die-hard Simpsons fan I respectfully suggest you skip this set and move onto to one of the other collections. (Seasons 1-4, for example, are excellent buys.)
So why does Season Five come up short? Perhaps the departure of staff writer Conan O'Brien created a temporary creative vacuum that the show's remaining writers were somehow unable to fill. I don't know. All I can say is there's a chunk of episodes in this set where for some reason the show seems to be completely off its stride. During the "Springfield" episode, I was temped to invoke Comic Book Guy's classic line "Worst. Episode. Ever." Because that episode definitely was.
If I had to break it down, I would definitely say that the best episodes in this fifth season set can be found on discs 1 and 4. The weaker episodes are concentrated on discs 2 and 3. To sum up: a good buy for Simpsons fans but there are better ones out there.
Freedom, Horrible Freedom! & 100th Episode!

WARNING: Spoilers for every episode may be contained in this review!.
1. Homer's Barbershop Quartet - While flipping through records at a flea market, Bart and Lisa discover an album by the Be Sharps, a barbershop quartet comprised of Homer, Barney, Apu and Principal Skinner. As Homer recounts the story, it is clear that the Be Sharps saga is a classic tale of four men who rise to the top of the entertainment business, only to find that the demands of fame and success destroy their friendships and strain their love for their art. After telling his kids all about the band, Homer gets nostalgic and the Be Sharps reunite for one last concert on the roof of Moe's Tavern.
2. Cape Feare - Bart begins receiving threatening letters from Sideshow Bob. When Bob is released from prison, Bart is terrified of being killed by the sociopathic former sidekick. To protect Bart, the entire Simpson family undergoes Witness Relocation and moves to a houseboat docked on the aptly named Terror Lake, just outside of Springfield. Bob tracks them down, ties up Homer, Marge, and Lisa, and tries to kill Bart. Bart outsmarts Sideshow Bob by asking him to sing the entire score to The H.M.S. Pinafore, thereby buying enough time to trap him in the mud beside a brothel where Chief Wiggum and other Springfield Police Department officers just happen to be spending some off-time.
3. When it is revealed that Homer is grossly unqualified to be a safety inspector at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, he goes to Springfield University to study nuclear physics. While there, Homer befriends a group of nerds and encourages them to steal a rival school's mascot pig. The prank backfires, getting the nerds expelled. In attempt to get them reinstated, Homer devises another brilliant prank. This one lands their dean in traction, but when Homer comes clean about the first prank, the nerds are once again allowed back on campus. And it's just in time, too, since finals are coming up. After a marathon study session, Homer still flunks nuclear physics, but his new friends hack into the school computer and change his grade to an "A.".
4. Rosebud - During a touching birthday slide presentation Smithers makes for Mr. Burns, we see the early life of Springfield's richest man and learn that despite all his power and money, he'll never be whole without Bobo, his favorite childhood teddy bear. Smithers dresses up in a giant plush bear suit in an attempt to replace Bobo in Burns' heart, but it doesn't work. Meanwhile, Bart buys a bag of ice at the Kwik-E-Mart that contains a stinky, rotting teddy bear. Bart gives the bear to Maggie, who falls in love with her new toy. Homer realizes that Maggie's new bear is the same one Burns is offering a reward for and negotiates to give it to his boss for a price. Negotiations break down when Homer sees how much Maggie loves the bear and to retaliate, Mr. Burns tries to force the issue by taking over the broadcasting of Homer's favorite shows and shutting off the beer supply to Springfield. Eventually, Burns and Maggie meet for a one-on-one meeting and Maggie gives the old man his bear back.
5. Treehouse Of Horror IV (4) - In this year's tricky triptych of terror, Bart presents three Halloween treats based on paintings in the "Fright Gallery." In the first story, Homer sells his soul to the devil (played by Ned Flanders) for a doughnut. When the devil wants to uphold Homer's side of the bargain, it's up to Marge and Lisa to argue why Homer's soul shouldn't be sucked into hell for all eternity. In the second installment, Bart has a nightmare about the school bus crashing that might just be coming true the next day during his commute. Bart spies a goblin on the side of the bus that could cause a crash, but no one believes him until it may be too late. And finally, Mr. Burns invites the Simpson family over to his castle for dinner where he bites Bart, turning him into a vampire. As Bart and his newly minted vampire friends wreak havoc, Lisa enlists Homer to kill Mr. Burns, the head vampire. When Homer drives a stake through Burns' heart (after some near misses and some outright bad aim), Lisa realizes that Burns wasn't the head vampire and that there's still the mother of all bloodsuckers to dispatch.
6. Marge On The Lam - Marge spends some time with her neighbor, Ruth Powers, and the two find that they enjoy each other's company very much. One night, Ruth picks up Marge in a cherry '66 T-Bird convertible that just happens to have been reported stolen by Ruth's ex-husband. Pursued by Chief Wiggum, Marge and Ruth take to the road, Thelma and Louise-style. Wiggum, with Homer as his passenger, tracks down the stolen vehicle, but loses it when Ruth smartly turns her headlights off. Ruth and Marge get away, but Homer and Chief Wiggum drive the squad car off a cliff. The only thing that saves them is a pile of garbage so high they barely crash at all.
7. Bart's Inner Child - Homer and Marge are entranced by a charismatic self-help guru named Brad Goodman. While attending a Brad Goodman seminar with his parents, Bart is asked to appear on stage with the man himself and, as usual, misbehaves. Rather than be annoyed by Bart's sarcastic comments, Goodman uses Bart as a role model for his audience, a boy completely unafraid to listen to the squeaks and squawks of his "inner child." The people of Springfield take Goodman's words to heart, hosting a "Do What You Feel Festival." James Brown sings at the festival, but things go terribly wrong when the stage collapses because the carpenter responsible for building it didn't "feel" like making it sturdy. Soon, everyone realizes that the only person who can truly be like Bart is Bart himself and go back to repressing their inner children.
8. Boy-Scoutz 'N The Hood - Experimenting with a dangerous all-syrup Squishee, Bart and Milhouse get loopy and run around Springfield singing and having adventures. Waking up with a massive Squishee hangover, Bart remembers that he enlisted in the Junior Campers, the dweebiest after-school program in the world. Bart is prepared to quit the group, but decides to stay when group leader Ned Flanders leads a lesson on using a pocketknife. Bart becomes entranced by Junior Camping, attending meetings and becoming an expert at tying knots. When it comes time for the annual Junior Campers' father and son rafting trip, Bart is too embarrassed of Homer to invite him along. Homer comes anyway, and his terrible navigation and rowing skills land Bart, Ned and Todd way up a creak with no way home. Luckily, Homer saves the day when he's able to smell out a nearby Krusty Burger franchise.
9. The Last Temptation Of Homer - Homer finds he's falling in love with Mindy Simmons, the beautiful new engineer at the plant. Things only get worse when Homer and Mindy are sent to represent the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant at the National Energy Convention in Capital City. The more time they spend together, the more Homer begins to fear that there may be more fusion at the hotel than back at the plant. Mindy tells Homer how she feels about him, and even though he's tempted by her beauty and her love for doughnuts and sandwiches, Homer stays faithful to Marge.
10. $pringfield (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling) - When gambling is legalized in Springfield, Mr. Burns opens an extravagant casino on the boardwalk. Homer is hired as a blackjack dealer despite his counting difficulties and Marge finds herself drawn to the slots, where she begins to spend all of her time. Meanwhile, cashing in on the trend, Bart opens his own casino in his treehouse. Luckily, Bart escapes the same fate as Mr. Burns, who starts to go crazy from owning a casino. Shut up in his sterile penthouse suite, Burns stop cutting his nails and hair and starts wearing tissue boxes as slippers. Down on the casino level, Homer must force Marge to give up her slot machine addiction.
11. Homer The Vigilante - A cunning cat burglar named Molloy is robbing Springfield's citizens of their most prized possessions. Homer forms a citizens' watch group that winds up breaking more laws than they protect. Molloy continues his crime spree uninterrupted, but when he sets his sites on the world's biggest cubic zirconia housed in the Springfield Museum, he winds up getting busted and returns everything he stole.
12. Bart Gets Famous - While working as Krusty the Clown's personal assistant, Bart accidentally steals the limelight when he knocks over a set on live TV and says four magic words: "I didn't do it." Bart becomes more famous than anyone, especially Krusty, could have ever expected, landing his own TV series, cutting a record, appearing on Late Night with Conan O'Brien and on T-shirts from Springfield to Shelbyville. Bart's fame comes to an end when his fans turn fickle and realize that "I didn't do it" isn't such a funny catchphrase after all.
13. Homer And Apu - After Homer eats tainted meat from the Kwik-E-Mart, Apu finds himself out of a job. As an apology to Homer, Apu moves in with the Simpsons and becomes their personal chef and valet. Meanwhile, actor James Woods becomes the new clerk at the Kwik-E-Mart. Apu begins to realize that he is not happy without his store, so he decides to go on a trek to the world's first Kwik-E-Mart, high up in the hills of India. Homer comes along for the ride, but foils Apu's chance at Kwik-E-Enlightenment and Apu returns to Springfield more depressed than ever. The only thing that lightens his spirits--and gets him his job back--is saving James Woods' life during a failed robbery at the Kwik-E-Mart.
14. Lisa vs. Malibu Stacy - After years of loving her Malibu Stacy doll, it begins to dawn on Lisa that her favorite toy sets a bad example for little girls. Lisa tracks down Stacy Lovell, the original creator of the Malibu Stacy doll, and together they design and market a positive, pro-girl doll named Lisa Lionheart. The toy is almost a breakout success, but the sneaky corporate henchmen and women behind Malibu Stacy quickly create a new Malibu Stacy that knocks Lisa Lionheart out of commission.
15. Deep Space Homer - Homer and Barney are recruited to be NASA astronauts, so the organization will be more appealing to the common man. It looks like Barney will actually be the one shot into space, but when he falls off the wagon, Homer goes instead. In the space capsule, Homer causes all forms of accidents and conflicts with other astronauts like Buzz Aldrin, until he actually endangers the lives of everyone by breaking the handle off of an outer door. The only thing that can save the day is a heroic inanimate carbon rod.
16. Homer Loves Flanders - When Homer discovers that Ned Flanders has season football tickets, the two men begin spending a lot of time together. Homer takes a real liking to Ned, but Ned isn't so sure how he feels about his new best friend. When the Simpsons and the Flanders go on a joint camping trip, Ned's animosity for Homer grows until he finally realizes that he hates his neighbor. Ned tries to shake Homer at every turn, finally blowing up at him at the Springfield Community Church. When the entire congregation looks down on Ned for his outburst, Homer defends him and the two decide to remain friends. That is, until Homer remembers that he hates Ned and everything goes back to normal.
17. Bart Gets An Elephant - Bart wins first prize in a wacky radio contest and becomes the proud owner of a giant elephant he names Stampy. Stampy, as you might imagine, turns out to be quite a handful for the Simpson family, but Bart loves his new pet more than anything. Homer, on the other hand, finds Stampy's upkeep too expensive and sells the elephant to an ivory dealer. Bart intervenes and sets Stampy free to go on a destructive rampage through Springfield. Eventually, Stampy finds a nice home at an animal refuge.
18. Burns' Heir - Well into his eighth or ninth decade, Monty Burns realizes that he has no children and therefore no heir for his vast fortune. After an audition process in which every child in Springfield vies for the coveted position as Burns' kid, Bart is selected for his attitude and scrappiness. Taking the boy under his wing, Burns tries to turn Bart into the son he never had. When he returns home to his boring old family, Bart resents them for not being rich and overly indulgent like Burns. Torn between loyalty to Homer and Marge and hunger for all the toys and money Burns throws at him, Bart must decide which family he wants to keep. When Mr. Burns insists that Bart fire his own father as an act of loyalty, Bart rebels and fires Burns instead.
19. Sweet Seymour Skinner's Baadasssss Song - Principal Skinner must learn to live without his beloved elementary school when Bart gets him fired. Ned Flanders is brought in to act as principal in Skinner's place. Coping with life outside of the locker-lined halls isn't easy for Skinner, but when he befriends his one-time nemesis, Bart, things start to look up. Years of hostility between the two give way to friendship and Bart eventually comes up with a plot to get Flanders fired and Skinner reinstated. The plot backfires, but Flanders ends up getting fired anyway for using the school PA system to make a prayer.
20. The Boy Who Knew Too Much - In a case ripped right out of the headlines, Bart is the only witness when Mayor Quimby's ne'er-do-well nephew, Freddy, allegedly assaults a snooty French butler. Hiding under a table in the kitchen of the Quimby Compound, Bart can plainly see that Freddy didn't harm a single hair on the butler's head. When the case goes to trial and Freddy is sure to be sized-up for a holding cell, the only thing preventing Bart from coming forward and clearing him is the fact that he'll have to admit that he was cutting school that day and receive a stiff detention sentence. As luck would have it, Homer is sitting on the Quimby trial jury and causes a delay of the proceedings because he enjoys being sequestered in a hotel. After Lisa's urging, Bart comes forward and clears Freddy. And as a reward for his honesty, Bart only has to serve four months in detention.
21. Lady Bouvier's Lover - Having already fallen hard for Marge, Mr. Burns now finds himself smitten with Marge's mother, Jacqueline Bouvier. Competing for the old lady's affection is Grandpa Simpson, who also thinks that she's the bee's arthritic knees. Burns is the more dashing suitor and proposes to Mrs. Bouvier, who surprises everyone and accepts. In a scene straight out The Graduate, Grandpa crashes the wedding just before Mrs. Bouvier becomes Mrs. Burns and whisks her away and onto a bus where they awkwardly face their future together.
22. Secrets Of A Successful Marriage - Somehow Homer comes to teach an adult education class on how to have a successful marriage. Even stranger, he turns out to be pretty good at it, dispensing homespun advice that his students find useful. He also dispenses quite a bit of personal information and gossip about his marriage to Marge, which causes his better half to go half-crazy. Homer apologizes but can't seem to stop airing their dirty laundry in class. Marge kicks Homer out and he begins sleeping in Bart's treehouse. Under these conditions, Homer begins to degenerate. After listening to her husband apologize profusely, Marge realizes that Homer needs her more than anyone else in the world and accepts him back.
Excellent 2007-01-10
For any simpsons fan this is a must. Perfeclty adds to the collection. I have only found two shows who seasons I collect. Friends and The Simpsons. The simpsons being my favorite. They always have a range from simple to more complex jokes that always fit the story line unlike Family Guy which is the most random show that makes it no fun to watch. If you are trying to complete your simpsons collection then Season 5 is a must.
Another great early season 2007-01-03
Season five lives up to all the hype simpsons drew upon their show when it first came out it is just too bad that after seasons 9 it went down the tubes.
Doh? 2006-09-18
I'm a die-hard Simpsons fan. I mean, loyal. As in, will protest any argument in the world which might shun the show, or even reasonably argue that there are shows that stand above it. Mind you, when I say "The Simpsons", I mean the show that ended nearly a decade ago. To me, "The Simpsons" lasted about nine or so phenomenal years, and then slowly plunged into an entity of shameful mediocrity. I mean, frankly, it's not really that upsetting; despite the fact that the show's "reputation" has been tarnished entirely (in an opinion like mine -- which I know many agree with), one thing evades any overall judgement on its decision to blindly continue (to this day) into the relatively wretched state it's currently in, and has been for far too long now. Without really getting into the vehement criticisms, however, I'm going to (appropriately) move on to the product in question -- the DVD for Season 5.
Season 5, for me, is a definite contender for the strongest within the series, and its seemingly endless existence. It is surrounded naturally by seasons 4, 6, and 7, and in my opinion these are the three other trophy competitors. Here's why:
The writing here is little else than stunning. Literally. When you watch most shows nowadays -- such as the huge phenomenon "Family Guy" -- it becomes apparent that there is absolutely no comparison to the glory days of "The Simpsons". Where even the best of shows might have, oh, 60% of the jokes that work (and that's being generous), "The Simpsons" at this point in time was always near 80%. You don't have a half-baked group of guys throwing out impulsive ideas at 2am coming down from a good high. You have a dedicated, talented crew passionate about their production and the result is magnificent. Far as I know, the writer writes the show, then comes the storyboard, then the animation which is finalized in Japan (or China??). In one of the commentaries somewhere (on this disc or another), a producer mentions that literally hundreds of jokes come to fruition and they work their way down to however many are needed for the episode. Naturally, you get twenty minutes of uproarious material that almost never dips to a merely satisfactory condition. Next, you've got the crew behind the animation. The directors here are 'so' unbelievably talented. Like the season before it, you get a great gist of the individual personalities and expressions of the crew. Mark Kirkland's episodes are more kooky; Jim Reardon's cynical and angry (my personal favorite); Wes Archer's craziness, etc. And along these lines, you get entirely different episodes entirely; the Homer, Lisa, etc on Reardon's are entirely different than the Homer and Lisa, etc of Kirkland's. And yet, it's ultimately still the same show, and I think it's this wonderous fact that makes it so diverse and compelling; it's not one mood but several, coming from the handful of different writers, directors, and the voice acting. On to that, it's as good as it's ever been. Not to dismiss the many others, but what needs to be stated is Dan Castellaneta's performance as Homer. At this point it's absolutely PRISTINE. I hold this guy in such awe. If you're into details, just watch the "Homer Goes to College" episode and you'll see what I mean. I can't explain it, truly, but what he can do with one line is genius beyond genius, and any description of such a finely crafted art is futile. Without doubt, at least for me, his voice acting is the pinnicle in the art and has not been superceeded by any other in the history of television. In the far later, unimpressive seasons, it would change for the worse, but here it's just perfect in every -- single -- way. Oh, and one last thing, resorting to the animation -- it's splendid. These are huge universes, not pale or rushed. There is a reason the show costs some million dollars to produce each episode; there are numerous people working on it -- incredibly talented, costly people -- and it shows. Furthermore when one gets to the comedic aspect of the animation -- which is EVERY bit as important as any other element -- the nuances are hysterical and unmatched. Oh yes! One thing that I firmly believe in, depressingly, is that in this season the show is hand-drawn, opposed to digitally rendered, which would ultimately takeover a few years later, due to ease of use and such. Call me crazy, but the rawness and subtleties of the non-computerized, visual complexion of the show is now sorely missed.
OK, I'm done. No thought out concluding paragraph, for I'm devoid of energy now. I can't state enough how much I admire "The Simpsons" at this stage, despite my attempts. When I think of Heaven, I hope it's as satisfying as the most intimate moments of laughter I've been blessed with from this show. If there's a God, he may have all the love and forgiveness as the benign religions say, but he also has a wickedly bizzare sense of humor, and that is displayed in this unmatched DVD.
"You'll have to speak up, I'm wearing a towel." 2008-06-02
The Simpsons' fifth season (1993/94) falls just short of the radar in terms of the apparent attempts (by British TV at least) to rerun the show into submission by scheduling every episode from seasons 6 through 9 in almost weekly rotation. In this sense therefore, there is likely to be a few gems in this set which may have evaded even avid viewers for a year or two at least. The last thing The Simpsons needs is another champion, so I won't preach about how great the show is (please see below). What I will say is that the commentaries are both amusing and informative in their own right and have ultimately served to enhance my appreciation of the show. All in all (whilst not my own all-time favourite) a classic season with some canonical episodes.
I have chosen a line or exchange of dialogue from each of season 5's episodes that always amuses me (as opposed to episode synopses) and listed them below. I hope you can get a laugh out of them too.
