Advantages: Another four classic episodes Disadvantages: None
...and contains four episodes; Homie The Clown from season six, Springfield from season five, Viva Ned Flanders from season ten and Homer at the Bat from season three. For me Homer at the Bat is the best episode on the DVD, although Homie The Clown is also very good.

'Homie The Clown' sees ... ...clown, Homer becomes tired of the way he is treated by kids and adults alike, and ponders whether to quit. However, after he is let off a speeding ticket because he looks like Krusty The Clown, Homer decides to exploit his new found fame.

This episode is also memorable for the loop the loop trick ...
