Description:
Homer, the recipient of "a severe audit" by the IRS, faces five years in prison unless he squeals on his friends and retrieves the rare trillion-dollar bill from Montgomery Burns in "The Trouble with Trillions," a rare Simpsons clunker. However, it does have its moments, such as the tax-day deadline melee at the Springfield post office ("The harder you push," a stern Chief Wiggum advises, "the faster we'll get out of here"). But worth the price of purchase is "I Love Lisa," one of the series's best episodes, in which a mortified Lisa becomes the object of pitiable Ralph Wiggum's
Homer, the recipient of "a severe audit" by the IRS, faces five years in prison unless he squeals on his friends and retrieves the rare trillion-dollar bill from Montgomery Burns in "The Trouble with Trillions," a rare Simpsons clunker. However, it does have its moments, such as the tax-day deadline melee at the Springfield post office ("The harder you push," a stern Chief Wiggum advises, "the faster we'll get out of here"). But worth the price of purchase is "I Love Lisa," one of the series's best episodes, in which a mortified Lisa becomes the object of pitiable Ralph Wiggum's affections. Highlights include Krusty the Klown's 29th anniversary special as well as a Presidents' Day school pageant featuring the song "We Are the Mediocre Presidents." (Sample lyric: "You won't find our faces on dollars or on cents.") The Simpsons is a brilliantly iconoclastic and subversively funny show, yes, but as this episode (and "Duffless" on Volume 1) illustrates, it also has a surprisingly sweet side. --Donald Liebenson
