Title: Almost as funny as seasons 1 to 3, several great episodes
Review: Although the quality of the animation really improves about this time, the writing becomes a tad more inconsistent. All of the episodes start off with a bang, bringing the usual incisive wit to everyday situations, but some of them occasionally lose their level of humor just a wee bit as the writers become more concerned with resolving the main story line than generating "Groeningesque" humor, and this problem grows much more in the much later seasons of the show, where crudeness is occasionally substituted for real wit. However, even the worst episode in the season four shows is pretty funny. Standout episodes like Streetcar Named Marge, Mr. Plow, Lisa's First Word, Selma's Choice, Marge Vs. The Monorail and others are shining examples of the show at its best and I'm looking forward to purchasing this set as soon as it is released.
