Synopsis
A ratings behemoth around the world and an enduring cultural icon, THE SIMPSONS continued into an eighth season, on its way to its becoming history's longest-running animated show. Springfield's most recognisable dysfunctional family is comprised of layabout dad Homer, troublesome son Bart, politically correct genius Lisa, baby Maggie, and the eminently reasonable, blue-haired Marge. Season eight includes 'The Springfield Files', where Homer encounters what he believes to be an alien being. This leads to an investigation by agents Mulder and Scully from THE X-FILES. After eating a hallucinogenic chilli, Homer goes in search of his soul mate in 'El Viaje Misterioso De Nuestro Jomer (The Mysterious Voyage of Homer)'. Audiences are also treated to a return of the 'Treehouse of Horror', a 'Simpsons Spin-Off Showcase'--hosted by Troy McClure--and Homer becomes a successful boxer due to his propensity for being able to take shots to the head in 'The Homer They Fall'. Other episodes include Lisa falling in love with playground bully Nelson ('Lisa's Date With Density'), Bart trading in Santa’s Little Helper for heroic Lassie-like dog Laddie ('The Canine Mutiny'), only to regret the swap afterwards, and Homer becoming a bootleg beer baron after alcohol is made illegal in Springfield ('Homer vs. The Eighteenth Amendment').

The Simpsons- Season 8
This is it, the greatest season with the greatest episodes of the greatest cartoon on Earth. If you have ever even slightly liked this cartoon family then you need this season. It was the last season- and what a season!- before the dreadful "new" Simpsons started to seep through the formerly great writers' pens. 25 fantastic episodes feature on 4 discs with plenty of extras, the deleted scenes being the most notable. Nearly all the episodes are 10/10. Those that aren't are usually 9/10 with the rare 8.99999999999/10. With "You Only Move Twice", "The Itchy and Scratchy and Poochie Show", "Mountain of Madness", "Homer's Enemy" and many other episodes associated with the Simpsons' former greatness, it is time to walk down nostalgia lane and wash that taste of season 50 (nicknamed "Well even though it's crap, you'll still watch it, won't you?") out of your mouth. This is the best of the best of the best of the best all crammed onto four shiny new discs. If you have even a slight bit of humanity left in you, you won't be complete without these DVDs.

Excellent...!
Ignore that person who said 'Ohh its to old!' Yes, it is old but the episodes are still great. Features bonus meterials and lots of episodes.
