Although the first few holdover episodes in season 9 were great, the show drops off in quality after this season. I cannot wait until season 9 and 10 just to hear Scully explain why he destroyed the series. But season 8 compared to 9 are almost entirely different series.

The eighth season of the Simpsons displayed that creator Matt Groening and co. had not slowed down in terms of creativity and pop culture skewering. In this season, there is hilarity apelnty: Homer's new boss at the new Power Plant turns out to be a mega super villain ("You Only Move Twice"), and faces off against the Mike Tyson-spoofing champ ("The Homer They Fall"), Mr. Burns discovers his long lost teddy bear Bobo ("Burns, Baby Burns"), Bart gets a job at the local Burlesque House ("Bart After Dark"), Lisa gets a crush on bully Nelson ("Lisa's Date With Density"), Flanders suffers a breakdown ("Hurricane Neddy"), and Homer meets his inadvertant nemesis Frank Grimes ("Homer's Enemy"). Standouts of the season are the instant classics "El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer (AKA: The Mysterious Voyage of Homer)" in which Homer questions his life with Marge and searches for his true soulmate in this episode which is made all the better by a superb guest voice from Johnny Cash, and "The Springfield Files" where Homer believes that an alien is lurking in the woods of Springfield, which prompts a visit from FBI Agents Mulder and Scully (voiced by X-Files stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson). The "Treehouse of Horror" episode this season was a standout as well, as Bart learns of his evil twin brother, Lisa creates miniature life, and the presidential race between Bill Clinton and Bob Dole gets interupted by Kang and Kodos. All in all, season eight of the Simpsons is yet another superbly done collection of animated comedy with guest voices aplenty (including Willem Dafoe, John Waters, and Rodney Dangerfield), and like the previous seasons before it, managed to be hilarious without being vulgar, and more than memorable as well.

It's about time fox released this season! This is the one I've been waiting for since season one first came out on box-set DVDs.
Everyone else is probably listing every episode in the season. (As is the trend with Simpsons fans on Amazon) So, I'll just say that this season is WELL worth the money. In my own oppinion, it's the best season to buy, containing some of the best episodes ever produced.
Beware, however, season nine doesn't hold to the same standard... and it only goes downhill from there. The next season contains the poverbial shark the writers happily jumped in favor of celebrity cameos and wild story lines. (Yes, even in Simpsons standards.)
