The Simpsons Season 4 Episodes
Season 4 Episode Guide
22 Episodes 1992 - 1993
Season 4 of "The Simpsons" contains a number of the show's most-enduring classics, including "Marge vs. the Monorail," in which the Simpsons matriarch attempts to prevent the town of Springfield from wasting a budget surplus on an ill-advised boondoggle (the episode was written by future late-night host Conan O'Brien). Other highlights include Homer's stint as a union leader in "The Last Exit to Springfield," Lisa's attempt to turn down the romantic advances of an unpopular classmate in "I Love Lisa" and a comeback special for Krusty the Clown in "Krusty Gets Kancelled" (which features guest appearances by Bette Midler, Johnny Carson, Hugh Hefner, Luke Perry, Elizabeth Taylor and the Red Hot Chili Peppers).
