The Simpsons (Season 4) DVD ReviewPosted by Nick Niesen on October 27th, 2010 Fun for both adults and children, The Simpsons is one of those rare shows that smashed the conventional wisdom of its time and redefined its genre. By creating a truly adult cartoon, and not one watered-down for a younger audience, The Simpsons kept its finger of the pulse of American TV viewers, providing an unmatched wit with its biting satire. It?s a combination that opened the door for later prime time animated series such as Futurama, King Of The Hill, and The Family Guy. But in the end, none can come close to the originality and hilarity of The Simpsons, one of the best shows from any genre in television history? The Simpsons (Season 4) DVD offers a number of hilarious episodes including the season premiere ?Kamp Krusty? in which Bart forges his report card so that Homer and Marge will allow him to go to Kamp Krusty, a traditional summer camp for America?s youth. But the summer camp is anything but traditional, and the kids soon learn as they?re forced to make cheap wallets and perform other acts usually reserved for Third World foreign laborers. The kids endure until it?s revealed that Krusty will not be visiting as promised, the news of which prompts Bart to spark an uprising? Other notable episodes from Season 4 include ?Itchy & Scratchy: The Movie? in which Bart?s punishment (that he can not see the new Itchy & Scratchy movie) threatens to drive him to the brink of insanity, and ?Duffless? in which Homer?s arrest for a DWI forces him to submit to a campaign of anti-drinking films and AA meetings (made all the worse by Marge?s request that he quit drinking for one month)?
