The Simpsons (Season 3) DVD ReviewPosted by Nick Niesen on October 27th, 2010 In the late-1980s, a one-minute segment on The Tracy Ullman Show (since long forgotten, except in trivia questions) morphed into its own series. That series was The Simpsons, and it became an anchor for the then-burgeoning FOX network. With a wildly original cast of oddball characters, The Simpsons instantly struck a chord with audiences, becoming the longest running prime time show among all genres, not just the animation genre. Loved by audiences from age 2 to 102, the show is not only hilarious, but in all likelihood, one of the best satires of modern day American life. The Simpsons (Season 3) DVD offers a number of hilarious episodes including the season premiere in which Homer?s co-workers have him committed after they mistake him for a mental patient. While in the New Bedlam Home for the Emotionally Interesting, Homer meets a tall, stocky white man who claims to be Michael Jackson. The Simpsons befriend the man who eventually admits to being bricklayer Leon Kompowsky... Other notable episodes include ?When Flanders Failed? in which Ned Flanders opens a store at the local mall called the ?Leftorium? (catering only to left-handed customers) and ?Lisa?s Pony? in which Lisa?s overwhelming desire to have her own Pony nearly drives Homer to an early death as he works 24-hours-a-day to afford the expensive pet? Below is a list of episodes included on The Simpsons (Season 3) DVD: Episode 36 (Stark Raving Dad) Air Date: 09-19-1991 Like it? Share it!More by this author |
