What Season 4 of The Simpsons

Season four kicks off with Bart and Lisa at Camp Krusty, a summer camp that doesn't live up to its promises. Meanwhile, Marge gets ready for a theater audition, and the rest of the family barely pays attention to her. Homer discovers that staying home alone is much more fun than going to Mass, which worries Marge. His decisions often land the Simpsons in hot water: he sells his ticket for the Duff blimp so Lisa can enter a beauty pageant. His job at the nuclear plant also drives several storylines. Bart, always cooking up mischief, carries much of the season's humor.
