The Simpsons: Season 7
D**R
The Simpsons season 7 is 'tenting fingertips' Excellent!
Keep it rolling in this 25 episode season! More awards such as the Annie Award for "Best Animated Television Program", Environmental Media Award for "Best Television Episodic Comedy", a Genesis Award for "Best Television Comedy Series, Ongoing Commitment", and 2 Primetime Emmy Awards. Although "Treehouse of Horror VI" failed to win the Emmy, the "Homer 3(cubed)" segment was awarded the Ottawa International Animation Festival grand prize. The Simpsons also became the first animated series to win a Peabody Award for Exceptional Animation and Stinging Social Satire in this season. The celebs kept coming as well with such talents like Paul McCartney, Suzanne Somers, Jeff Goldblum, Christina Ricci, Smashing Pumkins, Cypress Hill and more. Some of the best episodes in this season include "Two Bad Neighbors" Where former President George Bush moves to Springfield across the street to the Simpsons. It doesn't take long for Bart to annoy the 41st President resulting in Mr. Bush spanking Bart. Homer did not take this well and the two start to fued. This is also the first appearance of Disco Stu. "Sideshow Bob's Last Gleaming" Yup. Bob is back and he has a nuke! Taking place at an air force show the Simpsons are attending, Bob escapes a chain gang on cleaning duty and finds himself at the same air show. (Of course it would be the same show!) Upon stealing a nucelar bomb and holding the town ransom, he demands that all television stations be taken off the air. Bart and Lisa soon discover that he is hiding out in a blimp and attempt to stop him. "Marge Be Not Proud" Bart gets caught shoplifting a video game and gets banned from the store. Marge finds out when they return to that store for a family photo. Ashamed, Bart feels like he is not Marge's special little guy anymore. "Raging Abe Simpson and His Grumbling Grandson in 'The Curse of the Flying Hellfish'." Grandpa Simpson actually tells the truth in one of his crazy stories and no one believes him until Burns smashes Bart's bedroom wall to steal Abe's key. Both set out to get the buried treasure that Abe and Mr. Burns Flying Hellfish squad hid long ago during the war. "Homerpalooza" Feeling old and not hip, Homer takes the kids to a music festival. He then ends up working for them as a sideshow freak that takes shots from a cannon to the gut. Homer becomes popular and has a show in Springfield, however a health risk arises and could become fatal. Also the season premiere of "Who Shot Mr. Burns?: Part 2" revealing who was the culprit that shot Mr. Burns.Special features include a sketch gallery, introduction from Matt Groening, deleted and extended Scenes with optional commentary, "3D Homer" featurette, Paul McCartney's Lentil Soup recipe, storyboards, and of course the awesome commentary track that is worth watching the season over again just for the commentary alone!

It's Rich in Bunly Goodness
The seventh season of the Simpsons is a little low on laugh-out-loud hysteria, but the writing was still top notch, at least for most of the 25 episodes. But after the complete immortal brilliance of seasons 3 through 6, this season marks a real transition into the downfall years, starting with season 8, when the show really started to run out of ideas and get repetitive. Perhaps the biggest advancement in this particular season was a greater focus on the unity of the Simpson family, which is infinitely stronger and more realistic than the cheesy family values trumpeted by politicians and other frumps. This is most evident in "Home Sweet Homediddly-dum-doodly" (also a powerhouse for the Flanders family), "Bart Sells His Soul," "Marge Be Not Proud," and especially the Emmy-worthy "Mother Simpson." The production team was still working on important character developments this season as well, with the big winner being Lisa in both "Lisa the Vegetarian" and "Summer of 4 Ft. 2." We also get important advancements in the characters of Grampa in "…'The Curse of the Flying Hellfish'" and Marge in "Scenes from the Class Struggle in Springfield."Unfortunately, cracks in the Simpsons empire began to show this year – a foreshadowing of the mistakes of the next two or three seasons. "Two Bad Neighbors," starring George H.W. Bush, is both a clunky use of a real-life person and it does serious damage to the continuity of the Simpsons universe. And the unfortunate trend of latching a storyline onto current events and then-popular people, a real source of trouble in future seasons, can be seen here in the badly dated "Homerpalooza." Meanwhile, "King Size Homer" marks the first time that the writers tackled a sensitive social issue but couldn't refrain from low blows and name-calling, resulting in a very problematic construction of a moral theme. However, some of this season's best episodes still maintain the madcap genius of the previous years (if in a slightly more subdued fashion), those being "Homer the Smithers" and "Bart the Fink," among others. And there is a real advancement in experimental episode construction with the awesome "22 Short Films About Springfield." When all is said and done, this is still a great season for the Simpsons – and the last truly great season for a while. [~doomsdayer520~]

My opinion about this season and this dvd set
This season will start where season six ended.The first episode will bring us one of the greatest ones ever; we will be able to discover who shot Mr. Burns in the sequel of: WHO SHOT MR. BURNS?In the middle of the season, TREEHOUSE OF HORROR VI has the famous short in which Homer converts himself in a three dimension figure.Another good episode among others in this season is the one called 22 SHORT FILMS ABOUT SPRINFIELD, a very dynamic episode made to be one of the best "screenplays" from the writers of the show.The best thing that happen this time when the DVD comes out in December is that we will have the ability to choose the box and hopefully this will end those endless and tiresome discussions about FOX inability to do proper marketing.At this point all of us should know that they are delivering two seasons every year and this time FOX has fulfilled the expectations.

I’m pleasantly surprised by the excellent condition of the seventh season of The Simpsons that i just received. I can’t wait to sit down and enjoy Who Shot Mr. Burns (Part Two), King Sized Homer, and Treehouse Of Horror VI. I love that it came with the episode booklet. Thank you for the box set, Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year!

Yes! Finally out on physical media! Been waiting for Fox Home Entertainment to restart issuing The Simpsons and here it is, Season 18. Here’s hoping they’ll sell enough to at least make it to season 19.
