Synopsis
Springfield's favourite dysfunctional family are at their most outrageous in this special collection of four Jerry Springer-esque episodes featuring sex, guns, and bad toupees. In "The Cartridge Family," Homer buys a handgun and drives the clan mad with his trigger-happy ways. In "Natural Born Kissers," Homer and Marge try to reignite their fizzling love life with some very public snogging. In "Grampa vs Sexual Inadequacy," Grampa Simpson's revitalizing tonic puts some zing in Homer's trousers. And in "Treehouse of Horror 9," the family celebrates another Halloween, Simpson-style, with 3 hair-raising tales of terror: "Hell Toupee," "The Terror of Tiny Town," and "Starship Poopers."

Customer Reviews

A great Simpson's tape
Treehouse Of Horror 9, The Cartridge Family and Natural Born Kissers have never been seen on BBC Two, so it's THREE new episodes (Unless you have Sky)! In the infamous Simpsons Halloween Special 9, there are three mini-episodes. We see that Maggie is half alien-half human, and her father is the weird green thing from space - Kahn! To settle the dispute, Homer and Kahn go head to head on Jerry Springer! In Toon Town, Bart and Lisa get sucked into the Itchy & Scrathy Halloween Special, and it leads to crazy cartoon violence and mayhem! In the final mini-episode, Snake is executed for smoking in the Kwiki Mart, and Homer gets his hair. But the hair possess Mr. Simpson, making him a crazy killer! Halloween specials are always a nice change in the Simpson's Series, and this is a very good one. In the Cartridge Family, a soccer riot turns into a gang war and escalates into anarchy! So, Homer buys a gun to protect his family, but Marge dosen't like his 'gift' one bit, leading to her leaving Homer! Can he win her back? This is another classic, hilarious Simpson's episode! Then, in Natural Born Kissers, Homer and Marge try to get that spark back by doing 'innapropriate' things in public places. Sick or justified? You be the judge! This is another good episode. And then Granpa vs. Sexual Inadecuacy is a good episode, but it has been seen several times on BBC Two.

Too Hot for TV- sizzling
Once again the Simpsons delivers with this fantastic collection from our favourite dysfunctional family.

Most of these episodes have not been shown on UK terrestrial TV for various reasons, but they all live up to the build up.

The Treehouse of Horror is as wacky and abstract as ever, and all three strands of the story are belly-achingly funny. In the first Homer inherits a toupee from a criminal, in the seocnd Bart and Lisa become trapped inside a cartoon and in the third a group of aliens claim to be Maggie's father.

The Cartidge Family is typical Simpsons funfest following Homer's struggle to give up a gun which he obtains after a football riot. This episode heavily satires football and the growing gun culture in the US.

In the third episode, Marge and Homer find new pleasures after their sex drive rapidly detirioates.

In the fourth episode, the unlikely comic pairing of Homer and Grandad unite together to sell a tonic designed to improve the sex drive of its drinkers. It has unlikely consequences.

This is probably the best of the currently avaliable Simpsons vids. All four episodes are fantastic and are the ideal present for any Simpsons fan or a possible convert to the show.

Even better than Jerry Springer!
'Too Hot for TV' is also the name of a Jerry Springer collection of the out-takes that are too controversial for even his circus-style TV talk show, and both Jerry and controversy crop up in this Simpsons collection. Jerry Springer plays himself in the sub-story 'Starship Poopers' (within the episode 'Treehouse of Horror IX'); 'Grampa vs Sexual Inadeqacy' tackles impotence; 'The Cartridge Family' is a gun-control fable where Springfield is gripped by an outbreak of gun violence, and 'Natural Born Kissers' shows Marge and Homer discovering dangerous sex as a way of spicing up their lovelife. None of the episodes actually were too hot for TV (!), but it's as good excuse as any for another fine Simpsons collection. My favourite quote is from 'Inadeqacy' when Homer, reading the Kama Sutra, says "Hey Marge! This guy looks like Apu!"
