Amazon.co.uk Reviews
The argument will rage long after the boxset of The Simpsons: Season Nine has been released about when exactly America’s finest television animated export actually peaked. Some arguably, with genuine gusto, that it was a year or two before this series was first shown. Most purists though satisfy themselves that it’s the single digit seasons where the best of The Simpsons, and there’s certainly plenty of gold in this latest set.

Boasting twenty five episodes in all, and backed up by the superb selection of extras we’ve come to expect from Simpsons boxsets, there are some terrific episodes to be found. The 200th episode of the show, for instance, "Trash Of The Titans" makes compelling viewing out of, literally, sanitation, while "The City Of New York vs Homer Simpson" is likewise outstanding, as Homer trots off to recover his car.

Truth be told, for this reviewer’s money, The Simpsons: Season Nine isn’t the equal of the two boxsets that preceded it, and it certainly has its fair share of easily forgettable episodes. But these are still in the minority, with the bulk of this set being as representative of the great writing, humour and wry observations we’ve come to expect from The Simpsons. Cracking value for money, too.--Simon Brew

Synopsis
THE SIMPSONS hit its 200th episodes in its landmark ninth series, and the series showed no signs of slowing down. The Simpsons--ineffectual (but lovable) patriarch Homer, voice-of-reason mother Marge, rebellious son Bart, brilliant daughter Lisa, and quiet baby Maggie--live in the city of Springfield, surrounded by both the regular cast of characters and the stellar guest stars fans have come to expect. Guest voices are always a highlight, and the ninth season's eclectic roster includes Martin Sheen, U2, and Stephen Wright. This volume features 'The Two Mrs. Nahasapeemapetilons', 'Das Bus', and, of course, the annual 'Treehouse of Horror' episode. Features 25 episodes.

4.0 out of 5 stars A turning point for the show, but looks to be an excellent DVD set., 20 Dec 2006
By Harry Michaels "hmichaels" (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As a long-term big fan of the Simpsons, the ninth season marks somewhat of a turning point for the show in my opinion. I believe this is the season where many of the show's initial self-imposed standards started to slip. Characters began acting more and more out of character (the origins of Homer's current "selfish and fairly nasty" personality began to seep through here, moving away from his much funnier "complete idiot" personality of prior seasons).

However, it's still a very good season with many of the show's fantastic qualities of the mid 90s still apparent. Save for a few episodes, it's pretty much season 7 or 8 but a little wackier.

As another reviewer mentioned, lets hope the episodes remain intact, as some cuts were made after 9/11 (such as "The City of New York Vs. Homer Simpson" being pulled off the air for a while).

As for the DVD set itself, excellent as usual. I for one am happy with the current rate of releases, as the standards have been kept extremely high. We're treated to the usual "official" archiving of rare clips like adverts that most UK fans won't have seen. And not many other shows go through the trouble of recording an interesting commentary for each and every episode. Take the South Park sets for example. Very sparse on special features, despite the large amount of short specials for the show (especially between 1997 and 2000).

Overall, a very good season and another great release from Fox.

5.0 out of 5 stars never thought i'd have to do THIS again, 14 Dec 2006
By radio atlantis "follow me not" (tha north of ireland) - See all my reviews
so fox continue with their habit of releasing two simpsons series a year. and even though they're on the tv constantly i'm still wishing they would get the finger out.
anyway series 9 has good news in that the epsiodes are in the main (more of that later) of the highest quality. the acid test of course is the treehouse of horror ep - this series has that immortal line from homer re bats - "they're in my hair!" elsewhere there's the usual tales of springfield's citizenry as they go about their daily business (or not); moe falls in love and ends up landing homer in jail ("must kill moe. whee! must kill moe"). apu finds out he is to be married, seymour skinner turns out not to be who everyone thinks he is (homer's brain: "keep looking shocked and move slowly towards the cake") and the simpsons have a couple of carnies stay with us ("can you do that again?" "not for a while")
there's also of course the u2 guest appearance (where they're outdone by steve "you're screwed, goodnight" martin - as per moe, he's not really one for speeches). also worth a mention is the krusty ep, just love the way his hair comes free of its binds every time the ad guys mention the word free. he might be talking the bill hicks style talk but in the end he can't walk the walk, ensuring one of the more memorable closing sequences in praise of the 'canyonero'. another fave moment, one that for me encapsulates homer perfectly, try the $trillion ep where he pauses in his rescue of burns to place a prone agent's hand on his colleague's ahem, posterior
so to the bad points. first a minor quibble: no self-respecting scotsman i know would ever use the 's' word - it's football or nothing. i doubt then that groundskeeper willie or any of his compadres would either.
the second is slightly more serious. yes, this is the one; the all-singing, all-dancing nightmare episode. usually i tolerate the songs in the simpsons cos i know they'll be over soon but a whole damned EPISODE of them is too much to bear. this is one episode that will never sully my screen.
the rest will of course, often too

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best seasons., 9 Dec 2006
I hope (and expect, since they are full seasons after all) that the first episode of the series, 'The City Of New York Vs Homer Simpson', will be included as that episode's rarity is worth buying the whole season. It was never shown on terrestrial television, as it was to air just a week or so after the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the episode sees Homer entering the World Trade Centre. They also edited out part of 'Lisa The Simpson', when the family are watching a program called 'When Buildings Collapse', and Bart consequently states "My favourite part was when the buildings collapsed". If these are edited out in any way, especially since these happened long before the event took place, then this is not worth the money even for the excellent episodes like 'The Trouble With Trillions', 'This Little Wiggy' and 'Girly Edition', along with the not-so-great 'Principle And The Pauper' which is almost completely forgotten about afterwards (apart from an episode in season 15 or something where Lisa's cats keep dying). Overall though, an excellent season, but not one you should buy if the aforementioned 9/11 similarities are excluded out of political correctness.

**UPDATE: The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson was finally broadcast on Channel 4 in 2007.**
