'''Season 4''' is the fourth broadcast season of ''[[The Simpsons]]''. It originally ran on [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]] from September 24, [[1992]], with "[[Kamp Krusty]]", to May 13, [[1993]], with "[[Krusty Gets Kancelled]]". The season was mostly made up of [[production season 9F]] episodes, with two [[rollover episodes]] from [[production season 8F]] also airing. [[Al Jean]] and [[Mike Reiss]] served as the [[List of showrunners|showrunners]] for the season.

This was the first time the producers did not submit episodes for the "{{W|Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program (for Programming Less Than One Hour)}} award. By 1993, animated TV series were allowed to be nominated for {{W|Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series|Outstanding Comedy Series}}, whereas previously the series could only be nominated for animated awards."[[A Streetcar Named Marge]]" and "[[Mr. Plow]]" were submitted by producers, but neither had a nomination as voters deemed it unsuitable to have animation nominated alongside live action TV series. Nonetheless, the season was nominated for 6 awards and won an Emmy Award for "{{W|Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Voice-Over Performance|Outstanding Voice-Over Performance}}" by Dan Castellaneta in "[[Mr. Plow]]"; an {{W|Annie Award}} for "Best Animated Television Program"; a {{W|Genesis Award}} for "Best Television Prime Time Animated Series" for "[[Whacking Day]]"; and a {{W|Saturn Award}} for "Best Television Series."

Season 4 also marked the first attempt of a ''Simpsons'' feature-length film. [[James L. Brooks]] suggested the script for "[[Kamp Krusty]]" as a possible movie idea. However, due to problems with making the story long enough for an 80-minute film, the idea was dropped. It would not be until over 14 years later that a Simpsons film would finally be made in a form of ''[[The Simpsons Movie]]'', which was released on July 27, 2007 worldwide.
+
After their role as showrunners of ''The Simpsons'' ended in Season 4, Jean and Reiss left to produce their own animated series, ''[[The Critic]]''. Director [[Rich Moore]] also left to work on Jean and Reiss' show. The former ''Simpsons'' staff eventually returned to work on ''The Simpsons'' after the failure of ''The Critic''. Jean and Reiss returned to write more ''Simpsons'' episodes, with the former becoming showrunner since Season 13.<ref name="jean">{{cite video | people=Jean, Al|date=2004|title=The Simpsons season 5 DVD commentary for the episode "Cape Feare"| medium=DVD|publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref> And Moore returning years later to assist the animation of ''[[The Simpsons Movie]]''.<ref name=com2>{{cite video | people=Anderson, Mike B.; Dean Moore, Steven; Moore, Rich; Silverman, David|date=2007|title=Audio Director's commentary| medium=DVD|publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref> [[George Meyer]] and [[John Swartzwelder]] remained, while [[Conan O'Brien]], [[Frank Mula]], and future showrunners [[Bill Oakley]] and [[Josh Weinstein]] received their first writing credits.

Season 4 was also the conception of a feature length ''Simpsons'' film. ''The Simpsons''<nowiki>'</nowiki> creator, [[Matt Groening]], intended for a film to be made after the show ended, although came to deny this when he commented, "but that [''The Simpsons''] was undone by good ratings". The season's premiere and Season 3 hold-over, "[[Kamp Krusty]]", was attempted to be adapted into a film but was scrapped when the producers were unable to make the episode to a suitable length of a feature length film, which tends to be 80 minutes minimum while it was 18 minutes as stated.<ref name="Al Jean.">{{cite video | people=Jean, Al|date=2004|title=The Simpsons The Complete Fourth Season DVD commentary for the episode "Kamp Krusty"| medium=DVD|publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref>

{{TCsT|The children of Springfield, including Bart and Lisa, are excited about going to Kamp Krusty because the camp's ad promises they will get to spend the summer with Krusty the Clown. When they arrive, however, they find that conditions at the camp are deplorable, Krusty is nowhere to be found, and the camp is staffed by an uncaring director (Mr. Black) and the school bullies. When they try to pass off a bad impersonator (Barney Gumble in a clown wig) as the real Krusty, Bart has had enough. He leads a revolt where the children take over the camp, driving out Mr. Black and the bullies. Back at home, Homer and Marge are having a pleasant time without Bart and Lisa, with Homer gaining more hair and losing weight, until they learn of Bart's revolt on the TV news (Homer promptly loses his new hair and regains his weight). Krusty finally arrives at the camp and apologizes to the children. To make up for the terrible time they had, he takes them to Tijuana, Mexico.|7|color=white}}

{{TCsT|Marge auditions for the part of Blanche DuBois in a local musical production of ''{{W2|A Streetcar Named Desire|play}}'', directed by community theatre personality Llewellyn Sinclair. Homer, however, is completely unsupportive of Marge's effort. When Homer's apathy motivates Marge to channels her anger and resentment into her acting, she impresses Sinclair and wins the part. Marge forgives Homer, however, when he attends the play, is genuinely moved by the story, and recites some details of the plot, showing that he really was paying attention. Meanwhile, Maggie is sent to a strict daycare (run by Sinclair's sister) which takes away her and the other babies' pacifiers, and Maggie leads the babies in a revolt to get them back.

Lisa is reluctant to enter, particularly when she sees the competition she faces from seasoned pageant participant Amber Dempsey. However, Lisa does quite well, finishing in second place to Amber.

{{TCsT|Bart's behavior is worse than ever, as Homer and Marge learn at Parents Night at Springfield Elementary. Homer warns Bart that he needs to improve his behavior, and Marge warns Homer that he needs to do better at punishing Bart and sticking to it. Bart is asked to watch Maggie, doesn't do it, and she crashes the family car. Homer has finally had enough, and he forbids Bart from seeing ''The Itchy & Scratchy Movie'', which has just come out and all the children are eager to see it. Bart tries to change Homer's mind by comparing the movie to the Apollo 11 landing and asking how Homer would have felt if he had been forced to miss watching it on TV, but Homer is unmoved. Bart later tries to go to the movie on his own, but finds he has been banned (due to Homer having told the theatre to deny him entry). In spite of all his attempts, Bart misses the movie. However, it pays off when in a flash forward scene forty years into the future, Bart has become the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, instead of a male stripper as Marge had feared.

Meanwhile, Homer clashes with a local seafood restaurant, "The Frying Dutchman," over the definition of their "all-you-can-eat" special. They end up in court, but reach a compromise: Homer can eat all he wants in exchange for the restaurant being allowed to exhibit him as a freak of nature.

{{TCsT|Marge tells the story of how the Simpson family moved to their house when Bart was a toddler and Marge was pregnant with Lisa. Homer was frustrated with Bart because he said all kinds of words, but not "Daddy"—instead, he called Homer by his first name. (Bart's first words had been "Ay, caramba!" when he walked in on Homer and Marge in the bedroom.) When Lisa was born, Bart took an instant dislike to her, but she won his heart when she learned to talk and her first word was "Bart." She quickly said several other words, but not "Daddy", to Homer's continued frustration. Back in the present, Marge finishes her story, and Bart and Lisa start arguing. Homer then puts Maggie to bed and says to her, "The sooner kids talk, the sooner they talk back. I hope you never say a word." After Homer leaves, Maggie takes her pacifier out of her mouth and, unheard by anyone else, says her own first word: "Daddy."

This was the final association of Klasky Csupo with ''The Simpsons ''as it produced the Ullman shorts and Seasons 1-3. However, two holdover episodes from Season 3, "[[Kamp Krusty]]" and "[[A Streetcar Named Marge]]", were aired in the succeeding season, i.e., Season 4, with Season 3's production code, '''8F'''xx. Production then shifted to Film Roman, which produced episodes starting in Season 4. Film Roman's first Simpsons episode was "[[Homer the Heretic]]", as indicated by the first use of the production code '''9F'''xx.

Season 4 is the fourth broadcast season of The Simpsons. It originally ran on Fox from September 24, 1992, with "Kamp Krusty", to May 13, 1993, with "Krusty Gets Kancelled". The season was mostly made up of production season 9F episodes, with two rollover episodes from production season 8F also airing. Al Jean and Mike Reiss served as the showrunners for the season.

History

The fourth season was executive produced by Al Jean and Mike Reiss, who also were showrunners of the previous season. Some of The Simpsons' original writers, dubbed as the "original team"[1] as they had been writing for the show since the first season, had left after the completion of "Cape Feare", which was the final episode made in Season 4 though aired in the following season as a hold-over episode.[1] Jay Kogen, Wallace Wolodarsky, Sam Simon, Jeff Martin, David M. Stern, and Jon Vitti left The Simpsons following the season, though the latter two returned to write more episodes.

After their role as showrunners of The Simpsons ended in Season 4, Jean and Reiss left to produce their own animated series, The Critic. Director Rich Moore also left to work on Jean and Reiss' show. The former Simpsons staff eventually returned to work on The Simpsons after the failure of The Critic. Jean and Reiss returned to write more Simpsons episodes, with the former becoming showrunner since Season 13.[2] And Moore returning years later to assist the animation of The Simpsons Movie.[3] George Meyer and John Swartzwelder remained, while Conan O'Brien, Frank Mula, and future showrunners Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein received their first writing credits. One-time writers for the season include Adam I. Lapidus, Gary Apple, and Michael Carrington, the latter who returned to voice characters in "Simpson Tide" and "Million-Dollar Abie".[4]

Season 4 was also the conception of a feature length Simpsons film. The Simpsons' creator, Matt Groening, intended for a film to be made after the show ended, although came to deny this when he commented, "but that [The Simpsons] was undone by good ratings". The season's premiere and Season 3 hold-over, "Kamp Krusty", was attempted to be adapted into a film but was scrapped when the producers were unable to make the episode to a suitable length of a feature length film, which tends to be 80 minutes minimum while it was 18 minutes as stated.[5]

This was the final season that had episodes animated by Klasky Csupo, where the studio also animated The Simpsons shorts and the first three seasons of the show, including the two hold-over episodes of Season 4, "Kamp Krusty" and "A Streetcar Named Marge". The Simpsons would then be animated by Film Roman until season 28.

Awards

This was the first time the producers did not submit episodes for the "Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program (for Programming Less Than One Hour)" award. By 1993, animated TV series were allowed to be nominated for Outstanding Comedy Series, whereas previously the series could only be nominated for animated awards. "A Streetcar Named Marge" and "Mr. Plow" were submitted by producers, but neither had a nomination as voters deemed it unsuitable to have animation nominated alongside live action TV series. Nonetheless, the season was nominated for 6 awards and won an Emmy Award for "Outstanding Voice-Over Performance" by Dan Castellaneta in "Mr. Plow"; an Annie Award for "Best Animated Television Program"; a Genesis Award for "Best Television Prime Time Animated Series" for "Whacking Day"; and a Saturn Award for "Best Television Series."
