COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Not Bad submitted by Chris82 on July 31, 2011, 5:49pm Most of the episodes on this DVD have funny moments but are forgettable, especially compared to some of the earlier episodes in the series. "The Joy of Sect" was one of the best episodes of the season.

Funny Show submitted by jarroyo on August 13, 2011, 2:31pm This is a funny show. I have been watching it since I was a child. These are good episodes.

Afraid of there being more prehistoric items at the site, Lisa complains to the developers and starts an archaeological survey at the site. Late into the dig, Lisa unearths a skeleton with bones that resemble wings, similar to an angel's. Despite the whole town believing it to be an angel, Lisa takes a sample of the skeleton and has it tested to see if it is one of a human. The results are inconclusive, leaving Lisa still skeptical. After an interview about her beliefs, there is a town riot against the science community. During the riots, the skeleton is stolen. The town finally discovers it on a hillside with the message, "The End Will Come at Sundown" carved into it. However, the entire ordeal turns out to be publicity stunt that was pulled off by the mall's developers. Surprisingly, the town is not angry, but is instead fascinated by the low prices at the mall.Guest star: Stephen Jay Gould.

"Realty Bites"
Homer takes Marge to a police-seized property auction, where he buys a sports car that was formerly Snake's. On the ride home, Marge decides to walk because of Homer's erratic driving in the new car.

However, after being threatened to be fired for failing to sell any houses, Marge must lie to the Flanders to sell them a house where murders had once taken place. Feeling guilty, Marge tells them the truth after they stay there for a night, which only seems to make them more fascinated in living in the home. Meanwhile, Snake hears about the auction of his car and is so angry that he breaks out of jail to get it back.

"All Singing, All Dancing"
Homer goes out and rents a western movie to watch with his family on the VCR. However, the movie turns out to be a musical, which disgusts Homer. The family reminds Homer of the past times that he has sung and danced in enjoyment, and soon, the family is singing and dancing themselves. Snake enters the house through a window and threatens the family, but decides they would not be good hostages. The family sings once more, and later, Snake comes back, threatening to kill them for putting an annoying tune in his head, but realizes he is out of ammunition and leaves.

The episode ends with Marge humming nearby the living room window, causing Snake to shoot through it.

"Bart Carny"
While the family is at a traveling carnival, Bart accidentally crashes Adolf Hitler's car. To pay off the debts, Homer and Bart get jobs at the carnival by helping with the booths and exhibits, where they befriend Cooder and Spud, a father-and-son carny team. Unfortunately, Homer causes their booth to get shut down, when he does not recognize the bribe Chief Wiggum was asking for. Homer decides to allow the two carnies to stay at his home. The next day, the family goes to a glass bottom boat ride with the tickets Cooder gave them, only to discover their house has been taken over by the two carnies when they return. After brainstorming on how to get the house back, Homer decides to make Cooder a deal: If Homer can get a hula hoop around the house's chimney, he can have his house back, but if he does not, he will sign the deed of the house to Cooder. However, the family fool the two carnies, and rush back into the house before the two can do anything.Guest star: Jim Varney.

Marge escapes through a dangerous getaway, and finds Reverend Lovejoy, Ned Flanders and Groundskeeper Willie for help. The four manage to kidnap the family back. They are able to persuade Lisa and Bart to not believe in the sect anymore, but are unable to get Homer back, as the sect's lawyers take him back before they are able to. However, Homer no longer believes in the sect when he arrives, and manages to expose them as fake. The group then disbands, and the family goes back home.

Bart submitted by Drake Emmitt on August 29, 2014, 8:34am Bart carney is the funniest one on this one.

All singing, All dancing submitted by Fevvers - STAR473 on July 11, 2015, 9:10am I really like the clip show, and not just because the framing device is a hilarious take on "Paint Your Wagon." It's a very well done compilation, and entertaining in its own right.

Apu submitted by willow on August 11, 2015, 6:50am Hank Azaria, who is of Greek/Jewish origins, plays many characters on The Simpsons, most famously Apu. Azaria based his voice on memories of Indian and Pakistani 7-11 clerks, according to an interview with India Abroad. Writer Al Jean has referred to Apu as "a Pakistani of great dignity and industry." Apu has been a controversial character, as he is generally depicted as a typical Springfield resident aside from the Apu-centric episodes; this DVD contains "The Two Mrs. Nahasapeemapetilons," in which Marge poses as Apu's wife in order to help him avoid an arranged marriage, although in the end Apu likes his mother's choice of Manjula. American actress Jan Hooks voiced Manjula.
