This The Simpsons Season 8 DVD set collects all 25 episodes of the 1996-97 Fox season on 4 discs, from "Treehouse of Horror VII" to "The Secret War of Lisa Simpson." 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment released The Complete Eighth Season on August 15, 2006, with commentaries on every episode.
You will receive a brand-new copy. It is a Region 1 DVD presented in the original 1.33:1 full-screen format, and it plays in standard US DVD players and in Blu-ray players.
The Simpsons follows Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie in the town of Springfield. Created by Matt Groening and developed with James L. Brooks and Sam Simon, it is the longest-running American scripted primetime series. Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein served as showrunners for Season 8.
The season includes many fan favorites: "You Only Move Twice," "Homer's Phobia," "The Springfield Files," "El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer," "Brother from Another Series" and "Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala(Annoyed Grunt)cious."
"Homer's Phobia" won the 1997 Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Animated Program, and Alf Clausen and Ken Keeler won an Emmy for the music and lyrics of "Bart After Dark." Mike B. Anderson also won an Annie Award for directing "Homer's Phobia."
Fox sold this season in two packages, a Collector's Edition plastic case molded to look like Maggie's head and a standard rectangular box. The discs and the extras are the reason to own it, since the commentaries cover every single episode.

Mr. Burns is a dad, Lisa likes a bully, Homer has a nemesis, and more! All while Homer dreams of owning the Dallas Cowboys.
Season 8 of America’s dysfunctional family is no different from some of it’s past seasons…. in a good way. This season we see the return of special guest celebrities like Jon Lovitz and Kelsey Grammer as well as some new new stars such as Rodney Dangerfield, Johhny Cash, John Waters and more who fit greatly in The Simpson universe. Same goes for the awards too. The Simpsons season 8 had many Emmy Award nominations and winning 2 of them for episodes “Bart After Dark” and “Homer’s Phobia” which also won a GLAAD Media Award for “Outstanding TV – Individual Episode”. Other awards won were an Annie Award for Best Individual Achievement and the WAC Winner for Best Director for Primetime Series.
Notable episodes from this season include “Burns, Baby Burns” Mr. Burns finds out that he has a son…. an embarrising one at that. “The Homer they fall” Homer a boxer?!?… Why not! His resume keeps on growing! “The Springfield Files” An Alien stirrs up comotion in Springfield. No, it’s not Kang or Kodos, although they are in the “Treehouse of Horror VII” As they run for the oval office which is suprisingly fitting. “Brother from another Series” Sideshow Bob returns. This time he is actually NOT trying to kill Bart and is working with his brother Cecil who is voiced by David Hyde Pierce (See what they did there!?..) who actually has other plans in mind. “Homer’s Enemy” Homer trying his best to be friends and impress his new co-worker completely does the oppisite as Frank Grimes grows to hate everything about Homer until he snaps and loses it.
There are many more great episodes in this 25 episode season. This is another great Season to grab if you plan on getting a few seasons only. (Or getting a few at the time! If you’re like me and plan on owning all Simpsons seasons.) The Simpsons is a must own series to anyone who loves animated comedy!
