Trying too hard, becoming too 'wacky', 2007-12-23
I've loved the Simpson's since the first time it was broadcast many many moons ago, and have watched it evolve from being the average American family, to what is now a series of episodes were the producers have just tried too hard. I received the first edition of The Simpson's Christmas a few years ago as a present and was made up with it - classic, varied episodes. Unfortunately with vol.2, this trend doesn't follow, because its 4 'new' episodes (post 1999, when the producing team changed) that are just too wacky and un-real.
I know The Simpsons is a cartoon and that it shouldn't have to be lifelike. But it has become a cause for outrageous events happening that don't make sense, or simply aren't funny. And then their are jokes that only Americans will find funny, if the subject matter is not present in the UK (ie. actors i've never even heard of etc).
'Homer vs. Dignity' is probably the silliest episode, in which Mr Burns hires Homer to become his 'monkey' for making him do pranks... 'Skinners sense of Snow' is actually a great episode that feels more like a classic episode because of its strong plot... But the 2 last episodes; 'Dude wheres my ranch' and 'Tis the 15th season' only give the odd jokes.
I'm not a kill-joy, I just don't find the new Simpsons formulae that funny. And i'm not the only one..

Great DVD from the best comedy family on TV, 2005-01-22
As a huge, huge fan of the Simpsons this isn't THE best DVD from them but you still can't say it's bad! It feature the new episodes which are not as good as the older classic episodes (series 4-9) and this does effect the quality. Not as many laughs as some of the other DVD's but still, it's THE SIMPSONS!!!
