The
Simpsons Risky business is a collection of Simpsons episodes that features the
theme of "business" and of course, televisions most beloved family. The DVD
features four classic Simpsons episodes that tell the tale of the diverse jobs
that Homer and Marge Simpsons have engaged in.
The
first episode in the collection is entitled "Reality Bites" and features Marge
as a real estate agent. Unfortunately for Marge, she cannot quite manage to
lie and apart from being an abysmal real estate woman, she manages to sell one
of the creepiest homes in Springfield to the Flanders that contains some
"bloody" secrets.
The
second episode is entitled "Homer the Smithers" and features Homer as Mr.
Burns personal assistant when Wayland Smithers suffers burnout. Homer engages
in a variety of anecdotes that include imitating Mr. Burns mother and almost
killing him at the same time.
The
third episode is entitled "Deep Space Homer" and after NASA suffers
considerable bad ratings, they decide to train an average American as an
astronaut. Fortunately for Homer, not only does he save the day but also manages
to fill his stomach with a bag of potato crisps in space at the same time.
The
last instalment of the collection is entitled "Marge gets a job" and after
studying their finances, Marge decides that the Simpsons family needs an
additional income and applies for a job at the power plant. Unfortunately for
Marge, Mr. Burns soon falls for her and decides to take things that one step
further.
The
video quality of the disc was a mixed bag, considering that many of the
episodes are from the early seasons of the Simpsons but it still contained
some extremely sharp colours and clear picture quality. The audio quality of
the disc, although only Dolby Digital 2.1 still sounded quite clear and
audible through my Philips home entertainment system.
The
Simpsons Risky business, features four classic episodes that tells the extremely
funny anecdotes of the Simpsons family. Although not an entire season of
Simpsons, it will help Simpsons fans get through the drought until the next
season is finally released. Unfortunately the disc didn't contain any extras
whatsoever and I don't call the bonus "Chief Wiggum's finest moments" as
an
extra because it seems to have been included at the last minute and is only a
string of video clips that have been put together. With adult orientated
humour mixed with slapstick, the Simpsons Risky Business is the perfect
light-hearted addition to your DVD Collection. |
