The Simpsons - Season 7
Broadcast in 1995, season seven features several signature episodes, including Part II of "Who Shot Mr. Burns," "Bart Sells His Soul," and "Two Bad Neighbors" where former President George Herbert Walker Bush moves into the neighborhood (an episode gamely playing on the former President’s open dislike for the show). One of The Simpsons’s most definitive episodes, "Treehouse of Horror VI" famously broke the third wall by using the then-groundbreaking CGI technology to render Homer first in a 3-D world, then in real life, (despite the evolution in his form, he naturally ends up in an erotic cake shop). As the producers openly note on the commentary, it was a big deal at the time, and super expensive, which is why they could only do a few minutes of footage in CGI (some fans will particularly enjoy the revealing commentary on this one, as the producers explain the many visual puns and math jokes appearing in the background of the 3-D world). It’s a great example of how The Simpsons continued to play with its visual style and take creative risks years into its run. In fact, one of the best episodes on this collection, "The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular" proves just how far the look and style of the show really came during that time. Hosted by actor Troy McClure (voiced by the late comic great Phil Hartman), it presents never-before-seen outtakes and original footage from the show’s debut days on The Tracey Ullman Show, while taking a few self-referential digs at show creators Matt Groening, James Brooks, and Sam Simon. Other gems include "Homerpalooza" where Homer thanks guests The Smashing Pumpkins for their gloomy music because it has made his kids "stop wishing for a future I can’t possibly provide," and "Bart the Fink" where Bart inadvertently gets Krusty the Klown busted for tax "avoision." Along with the 25 episodes there are extensive commentaries, featurettes, and deleted scenes all of which add immense value to the set and will give die-hard fans another excuse to spend more hours in front of the TV. It’s another benchmark collection from a show that, up to this point, doesn’t seem to know its own limits. --Dan Vancini

One of the hallmark seasons of The Simpsons, season 7 features some of the strongest episodes produced during the show’s run. Considering that this is The Simpsons we’re talking about here, that’s saying a lot, but this collection deserves the accolades.

Synopsis
The longest-running animated show, and the FOX network's most popular series ever, THE SIMPSONS continues to make television history in its seventh season. Unfolding in the fictional town of Springfield, the show features TV's most dysfunctional and best-loved family, comprised of lunkish patriarch Homer, genius do-gooder Lisa, mischievous Bart, baby Maggie, and Marge, the voice of reason. This season sees the celebration of the 138th episode, which takes a look back at the show's origins on the TRACEY ULLMAN SHOW, with producer Troy McClure and also some hardcore nudity. In 'Scenes From A Class Struggle In Springfield', Marge's new dress leads to a struggle to fit in down at the country club, while Mr. Burns's horrid bowling abilities almost brings down the team in 'Team Homer'. Other episodes include 'A Fish Called Selma', 'Much Apu About Nothing', 'Homerpalooza', and 'Who Shot Mr. Burns'. The numerous guest stars include Courtney Thorne-Smith, Chris Elliott, Mickey Rooney, Linda and Paul McCartney, Bob Newhart, Donald Sutherland, and Kirk Douglas.

I can't recommened this DVD boxset enough, it is a superb package for all Simpsons fans.
The seventh season is easily one of the best in Simpsons history, the series where we found out who shot Mr Burns and when this series was first broadcast, it was still firmly the golden age of the cult cartoon classic. Episodes like "Who Shot Mr. Burns? Part 2", "Bart Sells His Soul", "Sideshow Bob's Last Gleaming" and "A Fish Called Selma" are just simply laugh out loud hilarious! When you watch these DVDs, there really is little wonder why the Simpsons is still going and as a popular today as it was back when it started. The whole package of the DVD sets are truely fantastic and with so many bonus features chucked in, you'll be entertained for hours.
I recommened this to everyone who has a passion for the greatest cartoon series of all time but be warned, this is a package of which you find yourself playing in your DVD player over and over, again and again.

i find this series to be one of the best. bart and homer are on top form and the classic ideas are still there.
best quote has to be homer in the climax episode 'summer of four foot two' as the family arrive at the beach house: 'oh god, he actually wrote "diddily"!'

Yet another season, yet another dollop of Simpson greatness. Two Bad Neighbours always makes me laugh and if the other episodes were poor this one would be worth it alone - fear not they are all wonderful. Homer the Smithers, Bart on the Road and Much Apu about Nothing are brilliant episodes. Thank you Matt Groening. Life is that little bit sweeter for your brilliant, wonderful television show!
