     There are certain numbers in life that signify accomplishments in our daily lives. For the voice actors of The Simpsons, the number ten symbolizes the tenth season of the hit animation. Recently, FOX Home Entertainment released the complete tenth season on DVD. The following is a review of The Simpsons The Complete Tenth Season. If you would like to purchase this DVD either in the digi-pack box or the Bart Simpson head-shaped box, click on the appropriate links to the left of this review.

     In Season Ten, The Simpsons are invaded by a ton of guest stars. Celebrities who either appear as themselves or portray the voices of characters are: Alec Baldwin, Brian Grazer, Cyndi Lauper, Dan Marino, Dolly Parton, Ed Begley, Jr., Ed McMahon, Elton John, Fred Willard, Gedde Watanabe, George Carlin, George Takei, Hank Williams, Jr., Isabella Rossellini, Jack La Lanne, Jasper Johns, Jerry Springer, John Kassir, John Madden, Kathie Lee Gifford, Kim Basinger, Lisa Kudrow, Marcia Wallace, Mark Hamill, Martin Mull, Michael McKean, Pat Summerall, Regis Philbin, Robert Englund, Ron Howard, Roosevelt Grier, Rupert Murdoch, Stephen Hawking, The Moody Blues and Troy Aikman.

     This season also features the last episode voiced by the late, great Phil Hartman. Phil was murdered by his wife on May 28, 1998. His wife later committed suicide. May Phil Hartman rest in peace.

     As usual the characters get into funny situations during this ground-breaking season. From Lisa and her friends experimenting with make-up to Homer working for Alex Baldwin and his wife at the time, Kim Basinger. Other storylines include: Homer becoming an artist, The Simpsons take a family vacation to Japan, the kids of Springfield dealing with a curfew, Apu making up to Manjula during the week of Valentine's Day, Homer becomes a hippie, Bart caring for two baby birds that turn out to be lizards and more!

     The Simpsons' tenth season featured the first non-Halloween trilogy

mini-episodes. For this season, the episode (Simpsons Bible Stories) deals with Homer & Marge as Adam & Eve, Milhouse is Moses and Bart & Nelson as David & Goliath.

     The Halloween episode (Treehouse of Horror IX) breaks new ground as well. In one of the tales (The Terror of Tiny Toon), Bart and Lisa are sucked into the television set. As they're being chased by Itchy & Scratchy, Homer changes the channel and turns the TV to Live with Regis & Kathie Lee and you actually see the animated characters of Bart and Lisa falling into the scene of real-life humans of Regis Philbin and Kathie Lee Gifford.

     This season is a very big season for the whole Simpsons family as it was during Season 10 that Time Magazine named The Simpsons the 20th Century's best television series in its December 31, 1999 issue. It was also during this tenth season that The Simpsons received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

     One of the long-running gags on The Simpsons are the different sayings that Bart writes on the chalkboard. Here are the sayings for Season 10:

I will not file frivolous lawsuits...The Simpsons Halloween Special IX..."butt.com" is not my E-mail address...No one cares what my definition of "is" is...I will not scream for ice cream...I am not a licensed hairstylist..."The President did it" is not an excuse...My mom is not dating Jerry Seinfeld...Sherri does not "got back"...I will not do "the dirty bird"...No one cares about my sciatica...Hillbillies are people too | Grammar is not a time of waste...I do not have diplomatic immunity...It does not suck to be you...I cannot absolve sins...A trained ape could not teach gym...Loose teeth don't need my help...I have neither been there nor done that...No one wants to hear from my armpits...I am so very tired

The Simpsons Season 10 is definitely worth the price. It is a continuation of a pure form of entertainment. Once again, Matt Groening has hit the nail on its head with twenty-three great episodes that will surely have you laughing out loud and on the edge of your seat. So sit back and enjoy The Simpsons Season 10, which is available now everywhere DVDs are sold!
