DVD Review TROUBLED TEENS

There's generally a kitschy cool to educational shorts, but this batch of teen-themed material is often more of a downer than a laugh-fest. If you're a completist of the series you'll want to pick this up, otherwise I'd say not so much.

I know there's a growing army who like to mutter that "The Simpsons stopped being funny after season (fill-in-the-blank)".
