COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Its Been Better submitted by Chris82 on July 31, 2011, 5:44pm Most of the episodes on this DVD are okay at best. My favorite is "Homer's Enemy" which introduces Homer's short lived arch rival.

Not very good. submitted by KidBlue on July 25, 2012, 3:51pm It's all a matter of taste, of course, but when I watch the Simpsons I can't get over the bad animation or the juvenile humor.
