The Simpsons - Classics - The Simpsons.com is part of the Simpsons 'Classics' series of DVD releases. There are four episodes included here, each with a mechanical/technological theme. The four episodes are "Treehouse of Horror X", "Itchy and Scratchy Land", "Das Bus" and "Homer Goes to College".
"Treehouse of Horror X" includes three terrifying stories, "I Know What You Diddily-Iddly-Did", when the family runs over Ned Flanders, but he comes back from the dead and starts hunting them, "Desperately Xeeking Xena", where Lisa and Bart become superheroes and fight comic book guy (a.k.a. "The Collector"), and "Life's a Glitch, Then You Die", where Homer fails to do his job as the nuclear plants Y2K compliance officer, which spreads the bug to every computer in the world and causes massive devastation.
In "Itchy and Scratchy Land", The Simpson family take a vacation to Itchy & Scratchy Land. But soon the Itchy & Scratchy robots go haywire and start to run amok, so the Simpsons must try and find a way off the island. With some great spoofs of "Jurassic Park" and "Westworld", this is a very funny episode with another great script by The Simpsons' writers.
In "Das Bus", the Model UN members from Springfield Elementary are on their way to a Model UN conference when the school bus crashes and the kids are stuck on a desert island, so they have to use what they've learnt to co-exist with each other and find food and supplies. Another great spoof here, this time of "Lord of the Flies", this is another well written episode with lots of laughs to be had.
Finally, in "Homer Goes to College" Mr. Burns sends Homer to college after learning he is dangerously underqualified. With Homer's only knowledge of Universities being from films, he tries to make the whole thing like a Porkies/Animal House-type adventure. Probably the best episode of the four, Homer is hilarious in this and the whole thing is a definite must-see!
The price on amazon is £13.67 which, for four episodes, is a lot of money. It also doesn't have any extras, which just makes the price look even more exorbitant. I'm not psychic, but I can't see them selling that many.
Overall a nice selection of episodes, including some from the era when everything The Simpsons did seemed to turn into a 24k gold classic, five stars.
