Here we are. My last Simpsons DVD review for quite awhile until nine arrives; Simpsons Season Eight. This is another good Simpsons season with even more good episodes. Although I personally think this season is overrated, it's still a great season. My review.
----------

So I gave this season 12 "Season Great" dubs, and it shows just how great this season is. However, it just doesn't compare to the overall greatness of some seasons. Season 8 just doesn't have flawlessness throughtout the whole season. There are some really forgetable episodes in this season, or just mediocre ones. Simpsons Spin-Off Showcase is a terrible episode, In Marge We Trust is a very slow and pretty boring episode, The Old Man And Lisa is far from an entertaining episode, and so on. There are some great moments in this this season, but overall, it just doesn't compare to other seasons currently on DVD. I still highly recommend you buy this season, but it's not the best out there.
4.5/5
