Description:
This video contains two complete and uncut must-own episodes from this Peabody- and Emmy-Award-winning animated series' third season (1991-92), when The Simpsons was really on a creative roll (Mmmm. . . rolls). In "Mr. Lisa Goes to Washington," a free copy of Reader's Digest enriches the Simpsons' lives. Homer is transformed into a bookworm (at one point, he actually turns off the television!), Marge cooks up a recipe for "meatloaf men," and Lisa enters and wins a "Patriots for Tomorrow" essay contest. First prize: an all-expenses-paid trip to Washington, D.C. Once there, though, she spies a congre
This video contains two complete and uncut must-own episodes from this Peabody- and Emmy-Award-winning animated series' third season (1991-92), when The Simpsons was really on a creative roll (Mmmm. . . rolls). In "Mr. Lisa Goes to Washington," a free copy of Reader's Digest enriches the Simpsons' lives. Homer is transformed into a bookworm (at one point, he actually turns off the television!), Marge cooks up a recipe for "meatloaf men," and Lisa enters and wins a "Patriots for Tomorrow" essay contest. First prize: an all-expenses-paid trip to Washington, D.C. Once there, though, she spies a congressman accepting a bribe, and she angrily tears up her entry and writes a more inflammatory essay entitled "Cesspool on the Potomac." The uproar rouses the government into action, and Lisa's faith in democracy is restored. Rewind alert: Marge and Homer visit the Washington Monument, the sight of which makes Marge giggle like a naughty schoolgirl. When she whispers to Homer what is so funny, he rebukes her with, "Oh Marge, grow up." In "When Flanders Failed," Ned Flanders, Homer's next-door nemesis ("I don't care if he is the nicest guy in the world. He's a jerk--end of story"), announces his plans to open the Leftorium, a one-stop shop for southpaws. Over a chicken wishbone, Homer places a curse on Ned's "stupid left-handed store." This video also contains an original Simpsons short from The Tracey Ullman Show. The Best of the Simpsons, volumes 10, 11, and 12, are also available in a boxed set. --Donald Liebenson
