Fox Home Video has just released "The Simpsons Season Two DVD Collection." If you have not heard of the Simpsons, you have a little catching up to do.
Japan has its "anime," and the United States . . . well, the U.S. has "The Simpsons," a long-running cartoon series featuring simple art, razor-sharp humor, and the most accurate portrayal of middle-America allowed on television. The show follows the lives of the Homer J. Simpson family -- Homer, Marge, Lisa, Bart, and Maggie.
Homer, the world's most mediocre man, is a bungling incompetent who works in a nuclear power plant where he sleeps on the job and scarfs down doughnuts. Homer is bald, but not completely bald; fat, but not the fattest man on the show; slow-witted, but not helpless; hated by his in-laws; and self-centered.
