Product Description

Most TV shows never make it eight seasons, but then The Simpsons is not most TV shows. At a point where other shows would generally become stale and repetitive, Matt Groening & Co. pull out the stops to come up with one of the most creative and hilarious seasons in the whole series. Cases in point for season eight (1996-1997) include "Treehouse of Horror VII," in which aliens Kang and Kodos make a bizarre run for President having taken on the appearances of Bill Clinton and Bob Dole; "Bart After Dark," in which Bart gets a job at The Maison Derriere (featuring one of their most popular songs, "The Spring in Springfield"); and one of the great all-time episodes, "The Simpsons Spin-off Showcase," a trilogy of Simpsons spin-offs that never made it to prime-time (the final segment--"The Simpson Family Smile-Time Variety Hour"--is about the best six minutes of parody in the entire Simpsons canon). Season eight also features some of the most notable guest appearances: Rodney Dangerfield as Mr. Burns's long lost son; Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny as Scully and Mulder from X-Files in "The Springfield Files;" "The Brother from Another Series" which brilliantly pairs up Kelsey Grammar as Sideshow Bob with his brother Cecil (David Hyde Pierce) in a parallel of their Frasier characters; and in a major casting coup, Johnny Cash shows up in the form of a red fox as Homer's spirit guide in "El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer" (also known as "The Chili Pepper episode"). Other notable episodes include "The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show," a fun wink to the audience from the writers about keeping the show fresh without ruining it, and the send up of Mary Poppins "Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala(annoyed grunt)cious," which has one of their most memorable endings when Shary Bobbins floats off under her umbrella ("So long Superman," Barney cries)... only to get sucked into a jet engine from a passing airplane. That's the thanks she gets for offering her help. Good to see that, eight seasons in, The Simpsons still don't need it. --Daniel Vancini

Why Do They Bring Kids To The Commentary Sessions??!! October 16, 2009
Richiemagoo (Rural Kentucky)
O-K, season 8 is a GREAT season- and although I was never one to care much about DVD extras, I have to say that I LOVE the commentaries on all Simpsons episodes. With other shows, if you listen to a commentary, you listen once and that's more than enough- but with the Simpsons, I enjoy the commentaries as much as the episodes, and, I can unashamedly say that I have listened to every commentary twice now, and will continue to listen to them every time I go through the series!. My one complaint is that on a few of this season's commentaries, one of the crew members brought his young children to the recording session.
Now come on, who the heck wants to listen to some 5 year-old asking childish questions during a commentary which I'm sure is made for adults? Lets hope they never do that again. I love the commentaries, and I love the fact that there is a commentary for every episode....but please, keep the kids at home, guys. They may be cute to you, if you're their parent, but to viewers such as myself, they're just annoying and a waste of valuable time. Season 8 is one of the best seasons, in my opinions...but it is one of the worst as far as the commentaries go- between the kids at the commentary sessions, and Yeardley Smith on a lot of the commentaries (Hate to say it, but she is isn't very bright- and asks a lot of stupid questions) these commentaries just aren't of the same quality as are the ones on the other seasons. (Someone even had the gall to bring in a BABY while recording a commentary- luckily, they had the sense to remove it from the room early on.) I just don't know what some people are thinking. But despite these little annoyances, this is a great season and overall, I am still grateful for having commentaries on every episode! These Simpson DVD sets are SO worth the money.

Jennifer G. Casoli Vant (Boston, Massachusetts United States)
Great. Got these for my brother-in-law as a Christmas gift. He loves watching them with his four sons who are now into them.
The Simpsons Season 8....is great! July 20, 2009
M. Overly (Asheboro, NC USA)
Another worthwhile season of The Simpsons on DVD. Don't hesitate to buy it, especially if you are a big fan of the Mr. Sparkle episode!
