Description

VHS

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR X

Marge takes a "hard drive" and "crashes"! Bart and Lisa get super powers from an X-Ray machine accident! And, it's Y2K and everything's not O.K. when Homer brings the world to an end! Three spine tingling, bit tickling tales of Techno-terror.

ITCHY AND SCRATCHY LAND

Robo-cats, Mecha-mice, vengeful mascots and searing gas pain land await the Simpsons as they take a vacation at The Violentest Place on Earth. But when Professor Frink's robots run amuck can The Simpsons survive this deadly game of cat and mouse?

DAS BUS

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale. When Homer becomes a wannabe wizard of the world wide web he must face the wrath of Bill Gates. Meanwhile a freak bus accident leaves Bart, Lisa and the gang stranded on an uncharted desert island with no phone, no cars, no internet, not a single luxury.

HOMER GOES TO COLLEGE

Homer's lack of techno-skill cause a mini meltdown and he's sent to college. But when campus living isn't what the movies promised, Homer takes it on himself to show his computer addicted nerd roommates what life's all about by (what else?) kidnapping a pig.

*Features the guest voices of Tom Arnold, Dick Clark, Marcia Mitzman Gaven, Lucy Lawless, James Earl Jones and Jack Ong.
