This is a review on The Simpsons Season 7 Box Set not the limited packaging. I decided not to go for the Marges Head version because it was priced £39.99 rather than the £29.99 for this and basically what you pay extra for is a plastic piece of rubbish and they don't fit against seasons 1 - 5 which don't have the characters heads!
I enjoy the Simpsons because it shows a funny side of reality of life. This box set contains the following episodes:
Who Shot Mr. Burns? Part 2
This is a continuation of Who Shot Mr. Burns Part 1 in Season 6. In this episode they find out who shot Mr. Burns and go through the suspect's humorously.
Radioactive Man

In this years Treehouse episode there are again three stories. Where Groundskeeper Willie gets children in their dreams and Homer goes into the third dimension and of course messes it up.

Definitely part of The Simpsons' golden age - some wonderful episodes there. As for your review, I'd have liked a lot more about what you thought about the series and why, and maybe less on what the episodes were about. (That sort of info is easily available elsewhere.) If you do add some more of your opinion, let me know and I'll gladly re-rate. Paul
