Season 9 is an important one in The Simpsons' run because, to many fans, it represents the top of the rainbow. At this point, the show is still at the top of its game, flinging clever jokes and social satire with such ease, especially compared to later seasons, that it's hard not to see this as the peak of its run, leaving open the question of whether or not subsequent seasons measure up. Be that as it may, there's hardly any question that the writing this season is among the series' best. This is the season that brought us "The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson," where Homer illegally parks his car in front of the World Trade Center, and heralds the introduction of Duff Man ("Oh Yeah!), "The Treehouse of Horror VIII," where Bart's body gets switched with that of a fly and Marge turns into a witch, and "The Trouble with Trillions," which finds Mr. Burns hiding a trillion dollar bill from the federal government. Apu gets plenty of face time in an excellent episode where he meets his bride ("The Two Mrs. Nahasapeemapetilons"), and the town's kids get their chance at some screen time when they all get stranded on an island together a la Lord of the Flies in "Das Bus" ("We'll be like Swiss Family Robinson, only with more cursing," proclaims Bart). Definitely the show is still going strong by this point, and the 25 episodes of this season should still delight fans who've stayed with it through the years, in addition to the hours of commentaries and special features that come standard with every season of The Simpsons. --Daniel Vancini

I received the Simpsons 9th season in great condition. I would not hesitate to purchase from this buyer again.
Rating: - No pizza. Only khlav kalash.
Season 9 is, as far as I'm concerned, the second to last truly great season. After season 10 it started to go downhill, and while I probably will buy seasons 11 and 12 I probably won't go farther than that. Season 9, however, features one of y all-time favorite episodes, The City of New York VS. Homer Simpson, an episode which was temporarily pulled from sindication following 9/11 and heavily edited even when it returned to TV. Other favorites include Simpson Tide, although that could actually be ... Read More

- Show's still good, DVDs are still bad
My major problem with the Simpsons DVD box sets are still there: the packaging is bad, it's too much of a pain to find the episode you want without sticking every disc in the player, and the audio commentaries...oh, the commentaries. These commentaries are done by professional sound people and yet they sound like someone buried a microphone in the sand at the beach, scattered everyone in an irregular circle, and told some people to shout against the wind. I have a feeling that there's some money around ... Read More
Rating: - Season 9
Another top notch season for The Simpsons. I ordered it directly from Amazon, not from a personal seller, and Amazon had the cheapest price and mailed the item before the quoted date. I was pleasantly surprised to open my mailbox and find my Amazon package almost a week before the predicted time. Not too mention the item was NEW and in it's original wrapped box. Free shipping didn't hurt either.
