During a heatwave in Springfield at the summer holiday, Bart ends up breaking his leg when he falls off his treehouse, intending to dive in a swimming pool the family had set up. He is forced to remain in his room for the rest of the summer when the leg heals, becoming paranoid in isolation. Lisa gives Bart a telescope to make him happier and reluctantly uses it and finds that Ned Flanders may have killed his wife, Maude, as he digs a grave and her disappearance as well as a scream seemingly uttered from a woman. Bart wants Lisa to go to the Flanders house to search for proof and when she is in, Ned comes in the house while Bart struggles to reach there with his broken leg. Although wielding an axe, he puts it in the attic other then what appears to be attacking Lisa with it. It is revealed that Maude went to Bible camp for her absence and that the scream is uttered by Ned by his favourite plant dead.

Lisa is outperformed in everything she does by a new student named Allison Taylor who is younger yet smarter and is a better saxophone player than her. Lisa vows to beat her in one thing which would be an upcoming school diorama contest. She and Bart decide to sabotage Allison's diorama by replacing hers on a scene in "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tell-Tale_Heart The Tell-Tale Heart]" by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgar_Allan_Poe Edgar Allan Poe] with a cow heart as Lisa predicts that Allison would win and that Lisa's own diorama had been destroyed by a gust of wind. After doing so, Principal Skinner criticizes Allison's replaced diorama and decides on her overall qualifications. A guilty Lisa then prompts her to reveal her real diorama. Skinner is unimpressed with either's work and declares Ralph's collection of ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars Star Wars]'' action figures the winner due to nostalgic value. Setting their differences aside, Lisa and Allison then become friends. Meanwhile, Homer protects 100 pounds of sugar stolen from an overturned truck to sell it to the town.

He then finds another bar to drink, none which are suitable for his needs and finds one that only pilots can buy alcohol in. He impersonates as one to have beer but is mistaken as a real pilot and is forced to fly an airplane with no experience in flying. To make it up for this mistake, the family are given free tickets to anywhere in America (not including Alaska or Hawaii). The vacation is then aborted when a fearful Marge insists to be off the plane when she admits that she has a fear of flying, having the rest of the family except Grampa also off the plane. This phobia also alters her behavior for the worse and the family decide for Marge to contact a therapist. She goes into treatment with one called Dr. Zweig who says for Marge to think of her earliest memory of her phobia which occurred as a child upon noticing her father as a male flight attendant, much to her shock and depression. Along with recalling other moments involving flight when she was younger and Zweig stating that male flight attendants are now common, Marge is cured as she is no longer tense of flying.

Homer decides to tell them the story of how before Marge became pregnant with Maggie, Homer was able to quit his job at the Nuclear Power Plant to work his dream job at a bowling ally, with enough reduced spending to support the family despite not making as much money at his new job. But after a night of sex with Marge, and then soon finding out Marge is pregnant again (largely due to Patty and Selma), Homer is forced to leave the bowling ally return to work at the Power Plant with the punishment he can never quit again. Despite this the reason why there are no pictures of Maggie is because Homer keeps them at the Power Planet to provide emotional support.

After Bart gets caught who tampered with the school's new weather balloon who secretly turned it into an embarrassing version of Principal Skinner, Skinner forces Bart to help with him with his morning astrology in monitoring stars, hoping to find a new discovery that he could name himself. While Skinner is distracted by the balloon, Bart discovered a comet. However, that comet is heading right towards Springfield which will destroy it. With the government refusing to help, the only safe place for Springfield's residents is in Ned Flanders' bomb shelter. When Flanders is forced out due to lack of space, Homer feeling guilty for encouraging him to leave encourages the townsfolk to go out after him. In the end, the pollution from the town causes the comet to break apart, with the only real damage, being both the weather balloon and Flanders empty bomb shelter.

Bart notices that water always drains counterclockwise except clockwise in the southern hemisphere as stated by Lisa. To prove her wrong, he calls several countries in the southern hemisphere, with one collect call to Australia where a boy there answers that water in fact drains clockwise. The call lasts six hours as Bart had forgotten to hang up and the boy's father fines him AUD$900.00. When Bart does not pay, the father reports this to his neighbor who is federal Member of Parliament who in turn reports it to the country's prime minister. Bart is subsequently indicted for fraud after ignoring many letters and is wanted to be imprisoned by the United States Department of State to make Australia less hostile to him but negotiate on having Bart to apologize to the country after the former decision being declined by Marge. While he apologizes, the parliament also wants a punishment with a booting. Bart and Homer then flee although Bart is then forced to take a booting, this time with a regular shoe.

After a national survey places Springfield as the least popular city in America due to the antics of various townspeople, Marge at a town meeting suggests holding a film festival to show the world Springfield's good side to attract more tourists. When Marge asks the critic Jay Sherman to help judge the festival, Homer feels replaced by Jay, due to Jay doing everything better than him. Regardless of his problems, Marge reluctantly agrees to have Homer as one of the judges, while Mr. Burns decides to use the film festival to boost his own image. During the competition, despite his untalented and unoriginal being the worst received Mr. Burns bribes two of the judges (Mayor Quimby and Krusty) to vote for his film, while Marge and Jay vote on Barney Gumble's film about alcoholism. With Homer as the deciding vote, he wants to vote on Hans Moleman's pointless film, but with Marges advice and seeing it himself, Homer changes his vote allowing Barney to win the film festival.

Springfield Elementary accidently strikes oil, unaware that it had existed beneath it. The School then plans to spend greatly with it. Mr. Burns then discovers about the oil and establishes a slant drilling operation to have it instead, which coincides with the school intending to take the oil with a vertical drilling operation as Springfield Elementary receive no oil and thus are unable to commence their plans with it. This action by Burns has caused drawbacks to and further alienated many people in Springfield. Moe's Tavern had to be closed due to the oil's exposure to the bar. The oil damages Springfield Retirement Home and Bart's Treehouse, the latter incident which has Santa's Little Helper injured and the school loses all of its money. Homer becomes increasily annoyed at Burns for constantly forgetting his name and Smithers is fired after being reluctant on Burns' next plan which is to build a machine that blocks the sunlight of Springfield. After a town meeting around 3pm of people angered by incidents caused by him, Burns gets shot by an unknown assailant and collapse on a sundial. The townspeople find him mortally injured and with the fact that many of them were angered by Burns, no one knows who shot him presumably as retaliation. Chief Wiggum is then counted on and decides to try to investigate this.

Season Information
Original run: September 17, 1995 – May 19, 1996
No. of episodes: 25
Previous season: 6
Next season: 8
DVD boxset: The Complete Seventh Season

The seventh season originally aired from September 17, 1995, to May 19, 1996.

Highlights[edit]

Season 7 began on September 17, 1995 with the first episode, "Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part Two)" and ended on May 19, 1996 with "Summer of 4 Ft. 2". The season premiere was the conclusion of "Who Shot Mr. Burns?", the only two-part episode of the series. The first part aired as the finale of Season 6.

There were two holdover episodes: "Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part Two)" and "Radioactive Man". The latter has the distinction of being the first episode to be digitally colored, a technique that would not be repeated until Season 12's "Tennis the Menace" and become a permanent feature starting with Season 14's "The Great Louse Detective". Season 7 also saw the first use of CGI in "Treehouse of Horror VI" as the third segment, "Homer3", had sequences where Homer and Bart were computer-animated.

The season was nominated for two Primetime Emmy Awards, including "Outstanding Animated Program", and won an Annie Award for Best Animated Television Program.

All 25 episodes of Season 7 including extras were released on DVD on December 13, 2005 in Region 1, January 30, 2006 in Region 2 and March 22, 2006 in Region 4. Like the previous season, two versions of the DVD boxset were produced, one being a regular rectangular boxset and the other shaped like the head of a Simpsons character—in this season, Marge.
