Another entry in the single disc releases that are put out between complete season boxed sets, The Simpsons – Kiss And Tell is a nice little 'romance themed' compilation of four episodes that hits shelves just in time for Valentine's Day so that you and someone you love can cuddle up in front of the fire and celebrate all things affectionate and romantic with Homer, Marge, Lisa, Bart and Maggie. Goofy? You bet. But there's an underlying sweetness to these episodes that makes the theme work.

Natural Born Kissers:

Homer and Marge have been married for a while now and family life has taken a bit of a toll on the couple – as such, some of the spark has started to fade in the ol' bedroom and neither of them are as interested in each other physically as they used to be until, while trapped in a barn hiding from a farmer and his pitchfork while looking for a replacement motor for the fridge, Marge finds out that she likes the thrill of possibly being caught in the act. This inspires the two of them to find new and exciting places to copulate, from the curtains of a bed and breakfast retreat to the windmill at the miniature golf course. Eventually it all goes wrong and they do come a little too close to being caught, narrowly escaping in a hot air balloon only to land in the middle of the football field during a sold out game, much to the chagrin of the spectators and fans gathered there for the big event.

Large Marge:

Marge decides to go to the plastic surgery clinic and have some mild liposuction done, but when she wakes up, she finds that she's received the breast implants meant for the mayor's girlfriend instead. When Marge notices the kind of attention that she gets not only from Homer but from all the other men in town, she starts to get used to the idea – after all, not just any woman can get the kind of treatment she gets at the local Italian restaurant. Eventually though, the novelty wears off and the reality of what has happened to her sets in and she decides to have the procedure reversed. While all of this is going on, Bart has impersonated a trick he saw on Krusty's show and when he gets busted for it, he winds up landing Krusty in some seriously hot water. The Baha Men show up in this one, as do Adam West and Burt Ward.

Three Gays Of The Condo:

Homer finds an old note that Marge wrote back when they were dating in which she explains that she's going to dump him because of his drinking. Homer jumps to the conclusion that the only reason she's stayed with him is because he got her pregnant, and he moves out and finds a room in a condo with two gay men (voiced by Ben Schatz and Scott Thompson, the later of The Kids In The Hall), one of whom starts to fall for Homer. As Homer spends his time buying new clothes and dancing the night away, Marge hopes to be able to rekindle what they had and make The Simpsons a family again.

The Way We Weren't:

Homer and Bart land themselves in the family court with Lisa as judge when they're busted playing a game with a beer bottle that they probably shouldn't be playing. While testifying, Marge Homer's first kiss was while they were in high school but Homer owns up to the fact that he did kiss someone before he smooched Marge. Through flashbacks, we learn that when he was a kid spending the summer at Camp See-A-Tree, he met the prettiest girl he'd ever seen. Of course, it turns out that the girl was a young Marge though Homer didn't know that at the time and Marge obviously had no idea who he was way back then either. Interestingly enough, in this episode we also see young versions of Lenny, Carl and Moe.

Video:

The episodes are shown as they should be, in glorious 1.33.1 fullframe format. Colors look nice and bright, except for the reds, which are just a tad too harsh when compared to the rest of the color palette used in the show. Edge enhancement, while it exists, is minimal and there aren't any compression problems worth noting. There is some really miniscule dirt that appears on the image in a couple of scenes (and also throughout the credits sequences) but it's really only there if you're looking for it. For the most part, all four episodes are pretty clean and look decent enough.
