Fox's ever-popular slacker family from the fictional town of Springfield continue their antics in the fifth season of the animated series. Clever, dry humor, peppered with pop-culture references and witty inside jokes with the audience, continue to characterize this smart show. In this season, Homer goes back to college and tries to teach the nerds to party, with predictably disastrous results; Bart goes to work for Krusty the Klown and experiences his 15 minutes of fame; Mr. Burns tries to reclaim his long lost toy bear, Bobo, from a fiercely resistant Maggie Simpson; and The Ramones make their famed appearance, playing at Mr. Burns' birthday party. Other episodes included are "Homer's Barbershop Quartet," "Marge on the Lam," "Boy Scoutz N the Hood," "$pringfield (or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling)," "Lisa vs. Malibu Stacy," and "The Boy Who Knew Too Much."Read full review
Fantastic season. Has one of my favorite episode "deep space homer". It gets edited out of TV now but I love the star trek clip referencing amok time. With Barney vs Homer like the gangsters of triskelion. It's got the one where Homer is obsessed with Flanders. Lots of Season 5 episodes were top 100 fan favorites. Like the father son rafting trip. Bart opens a casino. Skinner gets fired. Mr Burns adopts bart. Bart skips school.

Season five is one of the earlier Simpsons seasons before writers started repeating ideas and still had original material. Not that the writers lack talent but it's inevitable in a long running series to go over all scenarios before you have to recycle ideas. Luckily cartoons can go were real life can not. Also, The beauty of this cartoon is how it came to fame before the digital age. The digital age and social networking era gave them a whole new start right when they might have run out of steam.

I watched it all the way through. Unlike a previous season 5 I had ordered, this box set had absolutely no discernible corruptive effects in it. The sound and video are vivid and distinctive. Very good product. Thank you!
