And yet another great Simpsons season. Season four has some really good episodes. Bart and Lisa goto hell in "Kamp Krusty", Marge gets a job with Homer at the powerplant in "Marge Gets A Job", Homer buys a snowplow to get some extra cash in "Mr. Plow", Lyle Lanley tries to get Springfield to let him build a monorail in "Marge Vs.
