Customer Reviews of The Simpsons - The Complete Fifth Season

HAIL ANTS!
I won't go over individual episodes since several people already have, but rest assured - seasons 4-7 were the show's peak. Season 4 firmly established a groove for the series, and season 5 keeps it going with outstanding episodes galore. "Rosebud" (where Burns wants his old teddy bear back) is arguably the best Simpsons episode ever, and it is in this set. Other outstanding episodes include "Burns' Heir" (Bart gets angry at his family and is adopted by Burns), "Bart Gets Famous" (the "I Didn't Do It" one), and "Deep Space Homer" (Homer joins NASA and goes into space).

If you are new to the DVD sets or (gasp) new to the series, and you can only pick up one season set....well...get season 4, as it is the pinnacle. But as soon as you're done watching that you're going to want more, and that's what season 5 provides.

"Chowdah! CHOWDAH!"
As of this review, the fourth season hasn't even been released on DVD yet. And while the fourth season is when the Simpsons officially became the greatest show on television, it's season five that stands out above all the rest. When it was first announced that the Simpsons were going to be released on DVD, I was eagerly awaiting subsequent seasons to be released. A reason obviously being I want to own my favorite show on DVD, but mostly because as each season comes out (one... by... one), it will bring me even closer to owning my favorite one: the fifth season. This is the cream of the Simpsons' crop. It's the one I'm nail-bitingly waiting for.

My favorite Simpsons episode of all time is where Homer goes into space ("They'll clog the instruments!" "Careful! They're ruffled!"), which is included on this not-yet-released DVD set. Other stand-outs are when Homer falls in love with Mindy (Barney dancing to the I Dream Of Jeannie theme in a bikini: classic) and Grampa going out with Marge's mom ("I can't remember the last time I felt this young... I really can't.") Every episode is pretty much flawless. This was the Simpsons at their absolute peak.

Season one was good. Season two was very good. Season three was great. Everything that came after, up until about season nine, was excellent. These days, the show has a few bright spots, but pales in comparison to what came before. Newbie fans who don't get a chance to watch the re-runs might wonder what all the fuss is about. To those people, I'd tell them to go out and buy season five.

Bart, lisa, maggie, homer, marge, apu, wiggum, skinner, barney, moe, carl, lenny, ziff, flanders, burns, smithers and TONS of celebrity appearences. matt groening amazes me how he does such a good job creating these characters. all the directors and producers did an awesome job too creating such a addicting show. i've been watching it for 6 years and i haven't gotten tired of it yet! no doubt the simpsons are here for the past 16 seasons and will be in our minds for the rest of OUR LIVES!!
