Product Description
Four more episodes featuring everyone's favourite yellow-skinned, dysfunctional family. In 'Guess Who's Coming to Criticise Dinner?', Homer's unlikely appointment as Springfield's premier food critic results in a murderous conspiracy by the local chefs following a string of unfavourable reviews. 'King-Size Homer' sees the balding one achieving his lifelong dream when he gets to work from home for reasons of obesity, while in 'Burns Verkaufen Der Kraftwerk', Monty Burns sells up the nuclear power plant, and for some reason the new owners decide that Safety Officer Homer is now unemployable. Finally, 'Lisa the Vegetarian' sees Lisa feeling like an outcast when she opts to become vegetarian and sabotages her father's barbecue. Also included is the bonus film, 'Homer's Guide to Weight Management'.

If you collect the classic Simpsons DVDs then this one should definitely be around the top of your list! It has some great episodes on it and is only really ruined by how annoying Lisa is in Lisa the vegeterian.
Look who's coming to criticise dinner?: This a great episode which sees Homer do the job he ws born to do. When he walks off on the school feild trip he helped out on he goes to a leaving party for the newspaper's food critic. They see how good he is and he gets the chance to fill out a job application. Ofcourse he mucks it up and therefore seeks Lisa's help. They do well but eventuallly it goes wrong, all in hilarious Simpson fashion! 10/10
King-Size Homer: This story has another strange quest Homer goes on, tgis time he has to gain loads of weight so he can work at home. Once again his laziness gets the better of him and things go wrong at the plant, but this time he's at home and he has to get there in time to save everyone! The way he does it is funny and ironic. A memorable episode. 10/10
Burns Ver Kaufen Der Kraftwork: This one may have been a bit old and too familiar to the people who buy this DVD. It's still an alright episode though. Mr Burns sells the plant to Germans to seek a more relaxing life. The new bosses are alot more strict and Homer is immediately fired. Things go wrong for Burns to and after getting booed out of Moes Tavern by Homer, Bart and other drunks he realizes that he needs power and buys the plant back, the Germans only sell it because it's falling apart! 8/10
Lisa the Vegetarian: I'll be honest and say that this episode is typically ruined by Lisa and her morals. She decides to become a vegetarian and ruins a barbecue Homer throws. After getting shouted at she runs away and meets Paul and Lina McCartney with Apu and realizes that she shouldn't eat meat but she also shouldn't try and ruin it for everyone else. The only thing that saves it is Homer's funny moments. 6/10

This DVD is a mixture of good and bad."Guess who's coming to criticise dinner"and "King Size Homer" are both brilliant episodes, a couple of the best Simpsons there are.
Whereas, on the other hand the other not so good episodes in my opinion are "Lisa the vegetarian"and"Burns ver kaufen der kraftwork", so overall a very mixed DVD.
The episodes and rating I would give them:
"Guess who's coming to criticise dinner" wher Homer becomes his most desirable job for him, a food critic! This episode is very interesting as it realistically shows how power can go to someone's head very quickly, it's also very witty and intriguing, and whether you want to or not you end up watching it to the end! Overall this is aclassic episode and would give it 10/10

If this video was a doughnut, it would probably be a chocolate one that had dried out a bit and gone off its best. There's a couple of brilliant episodes on this (including the one where Mr Burns sells the power plant to the Germans), and the one where Homer gains 150lbs just so he can work from home.
The episode where Homer becomes the food critic is not so good, and "Raiders of the Lost Fridge" is not the best compilation - Dark Secrets or Viva Los Simpsons both contain better episodes and have more consistent themes. Another niggle is the age of some of these episodes - one is dated 1991. This would be acceptable were it not for the fact that BBC2 seem to be showing 1990-1992 on a ten-week loop, but I can't help feeling that there's lots of newer episodes that we could be seeing.
Definitely worth renting, but only die-hard completists should feel they have to own it.
