This tape contains two solid, uncut Simpsons episodes. In "There's No Disgrace Like Home," Homer gets upset that his family isn't as happy and contented as the other families he sees at the company picnic. So he takes the advice of a TV commercial and brings the family to see media psychotherapist Dr. Marvin Monroe, who winds up wiring the family to devices that allow them to shock each other, only to see them zap each other at will--hilariously so--and take down the entire Springfield power grid. In "Life on the Fast Lane," Marge gets upset when Homer gives her a bowling ball for her birthday (something he wanted), but then she takes bowling lessons. Before she knows what's happening, she's been swept off her feet by French bowling pro Jacques (voiced by Albert Brooks). --Marshall Fine
