The Simpsons: The Complete Seventh Season

After 15 seasons on the air, you probably know more about the Simpson family than your own family. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't immediately run out and pick up season seven on DVD. After announcing who shot Mr. Burns, you also get Radioactive Man: The Movie, Homer in a muumuu, "138th Episode Spectacular," and, of course, Tito Puente. As if you needed any extra incentive, the supplements head back to the drawing board. "Homer in the Third Dimension" finds the crew discussing how they got Homer's belly fat to jiggle so perfectly in the only live-action Simpsons scene ever. "Bit from the Animators" uses a telestrator to run through animation mistakes and quirks with the artists on the show, while the producers and writers sit down to discuss over fifteen minutes of hilarious deleted scenes—including such anomalies as Kent Brockman in a poncho, Superintendent Chalmers in Armani, and Krusty the Clown in line for public transportation. If you still want more (you selfish bastard), each episode comes with a commentary track, ensuring just enough material to last until they release season eight.
