THE SIMPSONS hit its 200th episodes in its landmark ninth season, and the series showed no signs of slowing down. The Simpsons--ineffectual (but lovable) patriarch Homer, voice-of-reason mother Marge, rebellious son Bart, brilliant daughter Lisa, and quiet baby Maggie--live in the city of Springfield, surrounded by both the regular cast of characters and the stellar guest stars fans have come to expect. Guest voices are always a highlight, and the ninth season's eclectic roster includes Martin Sheen, U2, and Stephen Wright. This volume features "The Two Mrs. Nahasapeemapetilons," Das Bus," and, of course, the annual "Treehouse of Horror" episode.
