The Simpsons |
 |
Best:
Season 4
Unrated, 8
hrs., 43
mins.,
1992-93
(Fox) First
things
first: If
you don't
own all of
the
available
Simpsons
DVDs...what
the hell are
you waiting
for? But if
you're gonna
get all
thrifty and
stick to
just one,
then get
stuck on
season 4.
This was
when the
show really
hit its
stride, when
the writing
transitioned
from
smart-mouthed
to just
plain smart,
weaving in
story lines
and
pop-culture
references
flawlessly.
The result:
classic
episodes
like ''Marge
vs. the
Monorail,''
''Mr.
Plow,'' and
''I Love
Lisa.''
Worst:
Season 1
Unrated, 5
hrs., 36
mins.,
1989-90
(Fox) If you
had to
choose the
weakest
season,
numero uno
would be it.
While
sidesplitting
in places,
season 1 was
a work in
progress.
The
animation
and voices
were crude
compared
with later
years, and
even the
main
characters
were finding
their way
(which may
explain why
Smithers at
one point
appeared to
be black).
But it's
worth a
gander, if
for no other
reason than
to hear
Jacques in
''Life on
the Fast
Lane''
explain the
concept of
brunch:
''It's not
quite
breakfast,
it's not
quite lunch,
but it comes
with a slice
of
cantaloupe
at the
end.'' As
Homer would
say, it's
funny
because it's
true. |
