The Best of The Simpsons 3 VHS Vol. 4,5 & 6

I bought this for a friend who is a Simpsons fanatic. He watches them repeatedly as he doesn't have regular TV. :^)

Unfortunately these episodes date from the first 2 series, which were nowhere near as clever, inventive, subtle and hysterical as the later episodes. I really wouldn't bracket any of these as SImpsons classics, having seen maybe 200 episodes. 2 Cars In Every Garage is probably the best, marking the first appearance of a 3-eyed fish (a great insight into the surreal humour of the show's authors). Treehouse Of Horror was stylish and also very surreal, especially the first part. Bart Vs Thanksgiving, and Bart gets an F to an extent, falls into the pigeonhole of early episodes characterised by Bart doing somethig 'bad' (and personally I prefer seeing Homer be stupid) and neither are all that engaging, otehr than the superbly constructed Snow Day scenes. I wouldn't bother with this one.

These three tapes were a gift, and were nicely boxed and wrapped with cellophane. The videos seen to work well.

This is a cheap, quality video. Where else can you get 6 episodes and 3 hours of family entertainment for under ... bucks? I only wish FOX would produce more boxed sets like these of their more recent episodes.

I purchased this set specifically for the Edgar Allen Poe's, "The Raven," spoof, but the entire set is a great addition to any Simpsons' Fan video library. I recommend highly!

Now you can invite America's favorite dysfunctional family in to your home whenever you want. Selected by the executive producers and creator Matt Groening, these definitive Simpsons episodes are availible on video for the frist time.Volume 7 "Bart Gets Hit by a Car" When Bart get's hit by a car driven by Mr. Burns, Homer sues his boss for $1, 000, 000. WInning the case means lying in court, but Bart's so so convincing it looks like te money's already in the bank. Then Marge takes the stand. Will she lie? Or should Homer kiss his $1, 000, 000 good-bye? Phil Hartman guest stars."One Fish, Two Fish, Blowfish, Blue Fish" The Simpsons go out for sushi and Homer ends up eating deadly blowfish venom. With only 24 hours to live, Homer makes a list of all the things he wants to do on his last day on earth - if he dosen't oversleep in the morning. Larry King and George Takei guest star.Volume 8 "The Way We Was" Ay Carumba! The TV is broken! Now the Simpsons have to...talk to each other. So Marge tells the kids the story of how she and Homer fell in love. The trip fdown memory lane leaves Lisa with stars in her eyes - and Bart with his finger down his throat. Jon Lovitz guest stars."Homer Vs. Lisa and the 8th Commandment" The Simpsons have cable! But they're not paying for it. While Lisa wonders why the world is such a cesspool of corruption, Homer rejoices that one little wire can bring so much happiness. As for Bart, once he discovers the adult channel, he just rejoices. Phil Hartman guest stars.Volume 9 "Three Men and a Comic Book" Bart is desperate to won the very first "Radioactive Man" comic book, but he dosen't have the money. So he buys it with two friends. But who get's to take the precious collector's item home? Looks like the boys are in for a lesson in sharing - and other silly stuff. Cloris Leachman and Daniel Stern guest star."Lisa's Substitute" Lisa's substitute is the best teacher she's ever had. Compared to him, Homer's more of a wash-out than ever. Mr. Bergstrom teaches Lisa that "life is worth living." What does Homer teach Lisa )besides burping)? Perhaps more than either of them ever would. Sam Etic guest stars.

ANYBODY THAT DISLIKES "THE SIMPSONS" IS DUMBER THAN HOMER ON HIS WORST DAY. THIS COLLECTION FEATURES SOME OF THEIR BEST EPISODES PLUS EXTRAS YOU DON'T GET ON TV. PLUS NO ANNOYING ADS! I WOULD RECOMEND THIS OVER VOL.1 SINCE THE EARLIER EPISODES AREN'T QUITE AS FUNNY AS THE "MIDDLE" YEARS. IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD THESE JUST MAKE YOUR OWN TAPES. EACH EPISODE IS LIKE A CHAPTER FROM A MOST RICHLY DRAWN BOOK THAT STANDS ON ITS OWN, YET BECOMES EVEN BETTER WHEN COMBINED WITH THE OTHERS. HOMER IS THE MAN!

How are some reviewers saying these epidoses ain't as clever and funny as the later time? please these epidoses are great and for every Simpsons fan, including me. The Edgar Allan Poe "Raven" skid was great, but my personal favorite is Bart the Daredevil, "I'm the king of the world!..." says Homer after a hilarous mishap occurs, my favorite simpsons moment of all time, don't listen to anyone else, these epidose are brillant!
