The Simpsons - The Complete Third Season
Various
Broadcast in 1991, the third season of The Simpsons contains a host of candidates for "Best Simpsons Episode Ever." Homer is in such good form throughout that a reasonable case can be made that he has superseded the importance of his Greek namesake in the annals of culture and civilization. The opener, "Stark Raving Dad," for instance, features a guest appearance by an uncredited Michael Jackson, who plays an obese white inmate whom Homer meets while confined to a mental institution. Other standout episodes include "Like Father, Like Clown," in which Krusty reveals he is estranged from his Rabbi father; this is The Simpsons at the height of its powers, mature, ironic, erudite, and touching while bristling with slapstick and Bart-inspired cheek. "Flaming Moe's" features Aerosmith and sees Homer invent a cocktail that desperate, sleazy bartender Moe steals from him. "Radio Bart" is another demonstration of the series' knack for cultural references, parodying the Billy Wilder movie Ace in the Hole. Finally, there's "Brother Can You Spare Two Dimes," in which Danny DeVito reprises his role as Homer's brother, regaining the fortune Homer lost him by inventing a Baby Translator. Immensely enjoyable at any level, this third year demonstrates conclusively that The Simpsons is quite simply, and by a large margin, the greatest television show ever. --David Stubbs

The Simpsons - The Complete Third Season Reviews
>_ this was the worst service that i have ever experienced using amazon.com.+ it didn't arrive NEW.=/ very disappointing.and it didn't arrive in a very timely manner. will not be ordering with this person again.
It's quite funny to hear the Spanishh or French version of Homer's classic D'oh. Burns uses Homer's brain in a new, robotic worker which he believes will solve the problem of the incompetant employee. Only Hank Azaria and Harry Shearer are absent from the commentary here, but Hank shows up in one episode of Season 4. Krabappel for a long stint of detentions by responding to her personal add by posing as a sexy man named Woodrow, only to feel gilty later when Woodrow stands her up. Then of course Mr. But this season features a great many other excellent episodes. Of those two I'd have to say the former is my favorite.
Of particular interest to me are Flaming Moe's, which featured a guest appearance by Aerosmith, Radio Bart, Rancho Relaxo and Homer at the Bat. It reminds us all of what the show once was. This is in no way intended to be a slight on Spanish or French people. Another neat feature as I may have mentioned in a prior Simpsons review, is the fact that you can listen to the episodes on muitple languages. I refer, of course, to Bart the Lover, where Bart takes his revenge on Mrs.
"Bart. So if you haven't already done so and you're collecting Simpsons DVD's, you should definitely pick this one up. This season also includes the second Treehouse of Horror, one of my favorites actually. Season 3 has some of my favorite episodes, Like Father, Like Clown, wherein Krusty tells the story of his estrangement from his Rabbi father and Bart and Lisa set out to bring the two of them back together again.
Saturdays of Thunder and Lisa's Pony aren't my favorite episodes but they're still good. The subplot of Homer trying to swear off swearing is also quite funny. But getting on with the review here, this season also features an episode that, if memory serves, won Marsha Wallace an award for outstanding voiceover performance for Mrs. It's actually quite funny, since not only do they discuss their memories of working on many of the episodes (they're featured in all but a few of them), but sometimes they do it in some of their character voices. This one features the Monkey's Paw, Bart possessing supernatural powers and the Frankenstein sketch where Mr. Other notables include When Flanders Failed, wherein Flanders opens a store for lefthanded individuals only to have it fail due to Homer's spiteful wish, and Bart the Murderer, which introduces us to Fat Tony and his gang.
It's quite funny to hear Dan switch from his normal voice into Krusty or Homer's right in the middle of a sentence, which he does on occasion. One of my favorite features of this box set is the commentary, which is not only provided by the show runners, writers and the ever present Matt Groening this time around, but also by the voice cast for the Simpsons themselves, Nancy Cartwright, Julie Cavner, Yeardley Smith and of course Dan Castellaneta. "Every bone.shattered.Organs.leaking vital fluids.Slight headache.Loss of appetite.Smithers.I'm going to die.". It also, interestingly enough, introduces one of my favorite Simpsons traditions (at least in Halloween shows), that in which a character is fatally injured but describes his injuries in detail before he finally does die. Lisa goes to Washington and Homer Defined are classics well worth watching. Before they were only available in French but now you can listen to them in Spanish as well. Louis.". I've just always had a fascination for hearing movies I grew up with in other languages, particularly if I can't speak the language in question.
Oh, and of course let's not forget I Married Marge. Get out of the Spirit of St. I bought this season along with season 4 while at a store with my then fiance and spent the next few weeks watching them while she went off to work. Krabappel.
Great episodes. My fiance needed the 3rd season for his collection. Great. Hilarious.
THIS IS MY FIRST SEASON THAT I GET, AND IS VERY VERY GOOD. HOPE THE OTHER EQUALES OR BETTER THIS ONE. I RECOMEND IT VERY MUCH
As with the 1st 2 season 3 of the simpsons has some great episodes 1 in which has to be the best is Stark Raving Dad in which after being in the wash 1 of homers white t-shirts ends up in the wash with barts red hat and turns pink homer ends going to work in it where burns notices it and gets homer sent to the loony bin where he ends up in a room with a big guy who thinks he's michael jackson the result is 1 of the best jokes ever in which the whole town gather to meet him thinking he is the real deal. Another great season and must have
