Editorial Reviews: Amazon.co.uk Review First broadcast in 1991 the third series of IThe Simpsons/I contains a clutch of candidates for "Best ISimpsons/I Episode Ever". Homer is on such appallingly good form throughout this series that a reasonable case can be made for asserting that he has superseded the importance of his Greek namesake in the annals of culture and civilisation. p The opening "Stark Raving Dad", for instance, features a guest appearance by an un-credited Michael Jackson, who plays an obese white inmate whom Homer meets while confined to a mental institution. Other standout episodes include "Like Father, Like Clown", in which Krusty reveals he is estranged from his Rabbi father; this is IThe Simpsons/I at the height of its powers, mature, ironic, erudite and touching while bristling with slapstick and Bart-inspired cheek. "Flaming Moe's" features Aerosmith and sees Homer invent a cocktail which desperate, sleazy bartender Moe steals from him. "Radio Bart" is another demonstration of the series' knack for cultural references, parodying the Billy Wilder movie IAce in the Hole/I. Finally, there's "Brother Can You Spare Two Dimes", in which Danny DeVito reprises his role as Homer's brother, regaining the fortune Homer lost him by inventing a Baby Translator. p Immensely enjoyable at anything from a primary to a doctoral thesis level, this third year of the show demonstrates conclusively that IThe Simpsons/I is quite simply, and by a large margin, the greatest television programme ever made. --IDavid Stubbs/I

October 18, 2003 51 out of 54 found this review helpful The Simpsons season 3 have picked off from Season 2, with the first episode first aired on September 1991, to August 1992, and I must say, from then on, the Simpsons were on the A-list, with more famous guest stars in it, and better storylines, and funnier gags, that could make you forget about Seasons 1 and 2, (even though I like the previous ones just as much).pSeason 3 has 24 episodes, each one a classic for you to enjoy.brThe episodes are:br'Stark Raving Dad', br'Mr. Lisa Goes To Washington', br'When Flanders Failed', br'Bart The Murderer', br'Homer Defined', br'Like Father Like Clown', br'Treehouse Of Horror 2', br'Lisa's Pony', br'Saturdays Of Thunder', br'Flaming Moe's', br'Burns Verkaufen Der Kraftwerk', br'I Married Marge', br'Radio Bart', br'Lisa The Greek', br'Homer Alone', br'Bart The Lover', br'Homer At The Bat', br'Separate Vocations', br'Dog Of Death', br'Colonel Homer', br'Black Widower', br'The Otto Show', br'Bart's Friend Falls In Love' brand 'Brother, Can You Spare Two Dimes'. pSuch guest stars include (in order of appearances): Michael Jackson (John Jay Smith in the credits due to contractual obligations), Lona Williams, Joe Mantegna (Fat Tony), Jackie Mason (Krusty the Clown's father), Magic Johnson (himself), Aerosmith (Steve Tyler, Joe Perry, Brad Whitford, Tom Hamilton, and Joey Kramer as themselves),Sting (himself), the unforgettable Phil Hartman (as multiple characters, including Troy Mclure), Steve Allen (himself), Kelsey Grammer (as the vengeful Sideshow Bob), Spinal Tap members (themselves), Smokin' Joe Frazier (himself), and Danny Devito (as Herb, Homer's half brother, who rises to claim and fame, with the help of the Simpsons in the last episode). So you can see, that there are many stars to consider.brAs for the special features, there is a commentary on every episode by creator Matt Groening, joined by executive producer James L. Brooks, writers, actors and directors on selected episodes, a pop-up trivia feature, which is very strange but unusually brilliant, and audio outtakes from cast and guest stars, and Butterfinger commercials including Bart's Thanksgiving, as well as a trailer for some episodes such as, "Colonel Homer", in where he meets a country western singer named Lurleen Lumpkin, (voiced by Beverly D'Angelo).brIn conlusion, the Season 3 Box Set is definetely the one to start saving on, and when I bought one in Amazon, I was so excited ,and literally counted down the number of days for it to arrive, (I actually got it, 2-4 weeks before the time it was supposed to come, talk about fast delivery),and when I got it, there were so many episodes to look at, to listen to it on the detailed commentary, to see the special features, and to be amazed at what they had in it, because whether you are big or small, a fan or not, this is truly a DVD box set that is worth every single penny. Here come the Classics August 21, 2003 D. A. White (UK) 21 out of 24 found this review helpful My copy of this fantastic series arrived from the states today, and im pleased to say it is by far the best simpsons box set yet, gone is the anoying "match the heads to access the menu", and in its place is a very simple menu system (very much like the futurama sets), a "play all" feature has also been added. The sound is 5.1 and the picture crisp and clear.pI dont need to tell you how good the episodes are, as any simpson's fan knows this series represents the begining of the classics.pThe only bad thing I can say about this set is that it should have been out a year ago, and I should be reviewing season 5 by now!!! But by delaying it clearly shows that this season simply has not aged. STILL AS FUNNY AS EVER!

I feel season 3 is the exact time when you truly see Bart, Homer and the rest of the gang in their true light. Not only has the voice dubbing and animation been improved to the much higher quailty than in the previous two seasons, but also has the script and the storylines. Homer is a genius at being stupid, Bart is getting up to no good. Everything is perfect here. Every episode is 'the best epidsode ever'. The Simpons season 3 really is the best thing since...well...ever! Simpsons at there best February 14, 2004 10 out of 13 found this review helpful The Simpsons had hit their stride in this, the third season. The sappy endings that filled most of the first two seasons were gone, the animation and colors were no longer stiff or quite as washed out and grainy looking, and the voices for the first time sounded clear and perfect. The stories and episodes were also some of the best, and here it was still a surpirse to see guest stars and guest voices on the show (In the episode HOMER DEFINED, Homer sounds ecstatic when he hears that Magic Johnson has called him up at the Power Plant). pThis season on top of all of the visual imporvements also showed us some of the most entertaining and memorable episodes. LISA'S PONY has Homer turning into a zombie doing the graveyard shift at the Kwik E Mart to pay for Lisa's new Pony, a pony he bought for her after ruining her talent show audition. SEPERATE VOCATIONS has Bart and Lisa switching personalities after taking the Career Aptitute Normalizing Test (or CAN'T) a test to tell you what field you would be best in. Bart cleans up his act, and is offered a hall monitor job at school after hearing he should be a cop, a disgusted Lisa turns tough after reciving Home Maker instead of blues artist. FLAMING MOE'S has Homer's own alcohalic drink saving Moe's Tavern, with Moe taking all of the credit and Homer getting nothing. BART THE LOVER has Bart toying with his lonely teachers feelings by sending her love letters to her, while she thinks it's a man who answered her personal's ad. THE OTTO SHOW is one of everybody's favorites with Bart's pal Otto losing his bus drivers job and having to live with the Simpsons. Finally, I MARRIED MARGE has Homer retelling the kids how he proposed to Marge and his struggles to find a job with Bart on the way. There are PLENTY of other good episodes to talk about in this season such as the softball episode, the episode where German investors buy the power plant and the soapbox derby episode (hopefully will be released in it's original un-cut fashion, even when shown the first couple of times back in 90-91 some scenes were edited out.)
