Season Seven starts off with “Who Shot Mr. Burns” cliffhanger and never stops making viewers laugh. “Two Bad Neighbors” finds former President George Bush Sr. moving in across the street from the Simpsons. Of course we get another Treehouse of Horror—this version finds Homer in 3D.

“The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular” is a great look at the show and the original episodes from the Tracey Ullman Show. “22 Short Films About Springfield” is a classic that looks at the everyday life of Springfield. My favorite episode was “Radioactive Man” an episode where Millhouse gets a part in a movie because Bart isn’t tall enough.
