Synopsis: Fox's ever-popular slacker family from the fictional town of Springfield continue their antics in the fifth season of the animated series. Clever, dry humor, peppered with pop-culture references... Fox's ever-popular slacker family from the fictional town of Springfield continue their antics in the fifth season of the animated series. Clever, dry humor, peppered with pop-culture references and witty inside jokes with the audience, continue to characterize this smart show. In this season, Homer goes back to college and tries to teach the nerds to party, with predictably disastrous results; Bart goes to work for Krusty the Klown and experiences his 15 minutes of fame; Mr. Burns tries to reclaim his long lost toy bear, Bobo, from a fiercely resistant Maggie Simpson; and The Ramones make their famed appearance, playing at Mr. Burns' birthday party. Other episodes included are "Homer's Barbershop Quartet," "Marge on the Lam," "Boy Scoutz N the Hood," "$pringfield (or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling)," "Lisa vs. Malibu Stacy," and "The Boy Who Knew Too Much."
