After really hitting their stride in Seasons 2 and 3, the Simpsons kept on rolling in Season 4. This season, Homer has completely supplanted Bart as the star of the show. Bart still gets a few starring episodes, along with some for Marge and Lisa. Even some side characters like Selma, Ralph Wiggum, Grandpa, Krusty, and Mr. Burns get their moments in the spotlight. Here is a look at the episodes that make up season 4:

1) Kamp Krusty - Bart leads a revolt at Krusty's summer camp
2) A Streetcar Named Marge - Jon Lovitz guest stars as the director of the musical "Oh, Streetcar!"
3) Homer the Heretic - Homer discovers the benefits of skipping church
4) Lisa the Beauty Queen - a junior pageant sponsored by Laramie Cigarettes
5) Treehouse of Horror III - includes an evil Krusty doll, Homer as King Kong, and some zombies
6) Itchy & Scratchy: The Movie - Homer punishes bart (other than by strangling him)
7) Marge Gets a Job - at the power plant, and Mr. Burns falls for her (features Troy McClure hosting "The Half-assed Approach to Foundation Repair", and Smithers kidnapping Tom Jones)
6) New Kid on the Block - girl of Bart's dreams is stolen by Jimbo (features a great prank call to Moe's)
7) Mr. Plow - a classic episode - Homer and Barney compete as snow plow operators
8) Lisa's First Word - continuing the trend of flash-back episodes that provide Simpsons history (featuring Elizabeth Taylor as the voice of Maggie)
9) Homer's Triple Bypass - Homer tries to save money by going to Dr. Nick for surgery
10) Marge vs. the Monorail - con-man sells Springfield a monorail, and Homer is the driver
11) Selma's Choice - Selma goes on a date with Hans Moleman, later takes Simpson Kids to Duff Gardens (also features Homer's beloved 10-foot sub sandwich)
12) Brother from the Same Planet - Bart and Homer abuse the "Big Brothers" program
13) I Love Lisa - Ralph Wiggum reads too much into a valentine from Lisa
14) Duffless - after a tour of the Duff Brewery leads to a drunk driving arest, Homer promises to quit driking for a month
15) Last Exit to Springfield - Homer becomes a union boss (includes a scene where Burns parodies the Grinch)
16) So It's Come to This: A Simpsons Clip Show - some new, some old - centers around Bart's April Fools prank that nearly kills Homer
17) The Front - Bart and Lisa use Grandpa's identity to submit "Itchy and Scratchy" scripts
18) Whacking Day - a Springfield annual tradition of clubbing snakes
19) Marge in Chains - Marge spends time in jail for accidentally shoplifting, and the Simpsons home is a shambles without her
20) Krusty Gets Kancelled - loaded with guest stars (Johnny Carson, Bette Midler, Red Hot Chili Peppers, "Sideshow" Luke Perry) and still manages to be a very funny episode

"Have a 'D'-lightful Summer"--Mrs. Krabappel
As a big fan of the Simpsons I am anxiously awaiting each season's DVD set release, especially after seeing the excellent quality of the first two season releases. The fourth season is not quite as solid as season 3, but there are still many great episodes to watch: 1. Kamp Krusty, 2. A Streetcar Named Marge, 3. Homer the Heretic, 4. Lisa the Beauty Queen, 5. Treehouse of Horror III, 6. Itchy & Scratchy: the Movie, 7. Marge Gets a Job, 8. New Kid on the Block, 9. Mr. Plow, 10. Lisa's First Word, 11. Homer's Triple Bypass, 12. Marge v. the Monorail, 13. Selma's Choice, 14. Brother From the Same Planet, 15. I Love Lisa, 16. Duffless, 17. Last Exit to Springfield, 18. So it Comes to This: A Simpsons Clip Show, 19. The Front, 20. Whacking Day, 21. Marge in Chains, and 22. Krusty Gets Kancelled. Guest voices include such people as Bob Hope, Linda Ronstadt, Tom Jones, Leonard Nimoy, Brook Shields, David Crosby, etc.

I agree with a previous reviewer that the brilliance of this series is the humorous and almost disturbingly realistic way it reflects American pop culture. Although we will have to wait until season 7 to get Lemons of Troy, Itchy and Scratchy: the Movie is an excellent satire of America's obsession with big box office films and the juvenile beauty queen Amber Dempsey looks so much like Jeanbenet Ramsey it's scary (especially considering this episode came out before her tragic death).
