DVD Reviews of The Simpsons - The Complete Fifth Season

DVD Review: e simpsons season 5
Summary: 5 Stars

I love buying products from amazon. They are always cheaper and this is probably about the tenth DVD i have got,and like all the others, it was in perfect condition. I couldnt ask for a better used product. Every disk in the whole box set looked like it had never even been used. Also including the box its self was in great shape. I would recomened Amazon.com to anyone it is all together a Five star website. thank you for your services amazon.

DVD Review: One of the Funniest Seasons
Summary: 5 Stars

I have been amazed at how funny this season is. Some of the best episodes and most memorable material. Long live Homer Simpson! (Bart too)

DVD Review: One of the Best
Summary: 5 Stars

This is one of the best seasons. There are so many episodes in this season that are my favorite, I'd say the most favorite of all is Cape Feare. Probably the best Sideshow BOb Episode, which really features his cerebral taste in theatre. And that one scene when he keeps stepping on the rakes in the parking lot is hilarious. It also has a great Halloween episode when Homer sells his soul for a donut, the barber shop quartet episode which parodies the success of the beatles, and many other episodes that were produced and written by Conan O'Brien.

DVD Review: God speed, little doodle.
Summary: 5 Stars

I was at most a reluctant fan of The Simpsons when they first hit TV with their own series. I'd never seen them on the Tracy Ulman show. But being at the time a kid who liked funny voices it wasn't long before I became every bit as hooked as my brother and sister. And I still enjoy the funny voices and can pull off a fair few of them myself. This season harbors some of the funniest episodes I remember seeing as a kid, not the least being Boyscouts 'N the Hood, in which Bart and Millhouse go on a Squishee bender and join the Junior Campers. That of course leads to their taking their disastrously ill-fated rafting trip during which Ned Flanders delivers the immortal line of "God speed, little doodle." Also of note are Homer's Barber Shop Quartette, whose rise to fame almost exactly parodies that of The Beatles. And let's not forget the Treehouse of Horror which, while not my absolute favorite (that would probably be Treehouse V), is still well worth watching. An excellent season well worth owning. And this is the first time where we see the normally unflappable Ned Flanders lose his temper, which he does in church in front of a considerable number of witnesses. Needless to say, an excellent collection.

Many of the special features are, I'm sure, not very accessible to blind folks like myself, however I did discover that my DVD player's remote features a button that allows me to instantly switch between the available audio tracks on a given DVD (I'm sure most do but it was still kinda neat), so I was able to listen to the fascinating and often hilarious commentary on each episode. Whereas only one voice actor came in to do commentary on an episode in Season 4, that being Hank Azaria,, most of the voice cast returns in this season to talk about A FEW EPISODES. Harry Shearer is once again absent (I wanna find out which character of his comes close to his normal voice), as are Julie Kavner and Nancy Cartwright. It's still quite fascinating to hear however, particularly when Homer Simpson welcomes you to the commentary for Boyscouts 'N the Hood. In short, The Simpsons season 5 is four disks of nostalgia packaged in a nice rectangular box for your enjoyment. If you're a true fan you should definitely own this set. I imagine I'll buy up to season 10, which is where I feel the series started to lose its direction and came to rely too much on guest voices. It doesn't totallyy suck now but certainly there are nowhere near as many episodes worth watching as once their were.

DVD Review: You can't go wrong with this season of The Simpsons!
Summary: 5 Stars

I'm a big fan of The Simpsons...up to a certain point. I have to say that this season of The Simpsons is one of the better ones. Actually, I have seasons 1-5 and will keep going until season 9. After season 9, I find that most of the episodes are more like The Family Guy and I'm not a fan of that show.
If this is your first look into The Simpsons, I think it would still be worth buying. Although, I would recommend starting at season 1 and going from there.
The commentaries for this season are fantastic to listen to. They also have great guests that will pop on for a commentary as well. Those guests are usually ones that did voices on the show.
I bought this season at $14.99 from amazon and you just can't go wrong with that price even if you are a fan or only just giving The Simpsons a try.
Worth every penny!

Description of The Simpsons - The Complete Fifth Season

The entire fifth season of the animated television show, The Simpsons.
Genre: Television
Rating: NR
Release Date: 15-AUG-2006
Media Type: DVD
Sixteen seasons (and counting) of pop culture-rocking brilliance, the first four of which have already been gloriously archived on DVD. But in the words of Krusty the Clown: What has The Simpsons done for me lately? Well, how about all 22 episodes of season 5, each accompanied by commentary, deleted scenes, and other encyclopedic extras that hopelessly devoted Simpsons fans crave, no, demand? Season 5 is perhaps not as classics-packed as the third and fourth seasons, but no self-respecting Simpsons fan should be without the episodes "Homer's Barbershop Quartet," featuring George Harrison, "Cape Feare," one of Sideshow Bob's (and guest voice Kelsey Grammer's) finest half-hours, "Rosebud," "Springfield (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling)," and "Bart Gets Famous," with the Springfield-sweeping catchphrase "I didn't do it." Plus, the star power this season is impressive: Michelle Pfeiffer as Homer's comely, donut-loving co-worker in "The Last Temptation of Homer," Albert Brooks as a self-help guru who unleashes "Bart's Inner Child," Kathleen Turner as the creator of Malibu Stacy in "Lisa vs. Malibu Stacy," and, as themselves, the Ramones ("Rosebud"), James Woods ("Homer and Apu"), Buzz Aldrin ("Deep Space Homer"), and even Robert Goulet ("Springfield").

But it is the writers and the core ensemble cast who exhibit, to quote "Deep Space Homer," "the right... What's that stuff?" Series milestones include the first appearance of yokel Cletus in "Bart Gets an Elephant," and Maggie's infant nemesis, The Baby with One Eyebrow in "Sweet Seymour Skinner's Badasssss Song," which also happens to be The Simpsons' 100th episode. Add in a very good "Treehouse of Horror" episode, (which outs Ned Flanders as the Devil and Marge as the head vampire), and one Emmy-nominated musical extravaganza ("Who Needs the Quick-E-Mart" from "Homer and Apu"), and you have a Simpsons season that's not just great, it's DVD-box-set great. --Donald Liebenson
