One of the hallmark seasons of The Simpsons, season 7 features some of the strongest episodes produced during the show's run. Considering that this is The Simpsons we're talking about here, that's saying a lot, but this collection deserves the accolades.
Broadcast in 1995, season seven features several signature episodes, including Part II of "Who Shot Mr. Burns," "Bart Sells His Soul," and "Two Bad Neighbors" where former President George Herbert Walker Bush moves into the neighborhood (an episode gamely playing on the former President's open dislike for the show). One of The Simpsons's most definitive episodes, "Treehouse of Horror VI" famously broke the third wall by using the then-groundbreaking CGI technology to render Homer first in a 3-D world, then in real life, (despite the evolution in his form, he naturally ends up in an erotic cake shop). As the producers openly note on the commentary, it was a big deal at the time, and super expensive, which is why they could only do a few minutes of footage in CGI (some fans will particularly enjoy the revealing commentary on this one, as the producers explain the many visual puns and math jokes appearing in the background of the 3-D world). It's a great example of how The Simpsons continued to play with its visual style and take creative risks years into its run. In fact, one of the best episodes on this collection, "The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular" proves just how far the look and style of the show really came during that time. Hosted by actor Troy McClure (voiced by the late comic great Phil Hartman), it presents never-before-seen outtakes and original footage from the show's debut days on The Tracey Ullman Show, while taking a few self-referential digs at show creators Matt Groening, James Brooks, and Sam Simon. Other gems include "Homerpalooza" where Homer thanks guests The Smashing Pumpkins for their gloomy music because it has made his kids "stop wishing for a future I can't possibly provide," and "Bart the Fink" where Bart inadvertently gets Krusty the Klown busted for tax "avoision."
Along with the 25 episodes there are extensive commentaries, featurettes, and deleted scenes all of which add immense value to the set and will give die-hard fans another excuse to spend more hours in front of the TV. It's another benchmark collection from a show that, up to this point, doesn't seem to know its own limits. --Dan Vancini

I have all seasons but stopped buying them after season 9 it wasnt worth that much after that season in my opinion the stories and humour were trying to be similar to family guy i think they just lost there touch after season 9.

I have been a fan of the show for nineteen years now, albeit reluctantly at first. But it wasn't until I started collecting the seasons on DVD that I started to put the episodes I remembered from childhood into their proper order. Season seven features, among others, the conclusion to Who Shot Mr. Burns? The Treehouse of Horror episode isn't one of my favorites but it's not horrible either. I'd have to say my favorite sketch is where Homer finds a portal to and becomes trapped in a strange 3-dimensional plain. We also have Two Bad Neighbors, where former president George H. W. Bush moves in across the street and becomes embroiled in a prank war with Homer. My absolute favorite episode of the season though would have to be Bart VS. Australia, not the least because of the catchy, digeridoo-rich rendition of the end credits theme. And of course we have a fun audio commentary track for each episode as well, so this season should keep you occupied for quite a while. I definitely feel it's one of the must-haves for anyone wanting to collect. Seasons one through twelve are where I still feel the series had it going. After that though, it seemed they started to rely too much on guest characters for the laughs. Season seven is still one of the best though.
