List of episodes

The Simpsons' tenth season originally aired between August 23, 1998 and May 16, 1999, and contained 23 episodes, beginning with "Lard of the Dance" which was aired earlier than normal to promote the premiere of That '70s Show. The Simpsons 10th Season DVD was released on August 7, 2007 in Region 1, September 10, 2007 in Region 2 and September 26, 2007 in Region 4.[1] The DVD was released in two different forms: a Bart-shaped head, to match the Homer, Marge, Maggie and Lisa shaped heads from the four previous DVD sets, and also a standard rectangular shaped box. Like the previous DVD sets, both versions are available for sale separately.

Production

The tenth season saw the start of the new XABFXX production code, which as of 2010 is still in use; there were four hold-over episodes from the season 9 (5F) production line. The season's third episode "Bart the Mother" was the last full-length episode written by David S. Cohen, a longtime writer on the show, who subsequently left to team up with The Simpsons' creator Matt Groening to develop Futurama, where he served as executive producer and head writer for the series' entire run.[2] The season was also the second for which Mike Scully served as show runner.[1] David X. Cohen was credited as an Executive Producer for less than half of this season, he left due to the production of Futurama.

Mike Scully was the show runner for the second season in a row.

Up until the start of production of season ten in 1998, the six main voice actors were paid $30,000 per episode. But in 1998, a salary dispute between the them and Fox arose, with the company threatening to hire new actors. After going as far as preparing for casting of new voices, Fox backed up after Matt Groening showed his support for the actors. As a result, they received $125,000 per episode up until 2004.[3]

Season ten featured forty-four guest stars, including Lisa Kudrow, Jerry Springer, Regis Philbin, Alec Baldwin, Kim Basinger, Ron Howard, Rupert Murdoch, Elton John, Jack LaLanne, and Stephen Hawking. The last guest appearance of Phil Hartman on the show was in "Bart the Mother", as he was killed by his wife on May 28, 1998, four months before the episode aired.[4] The episode was dedicated to his memory,[4] and rather than replace him with a new voice actor, the production staff retired his two recurring characters, Troy McClure and Lionel Hutz.[5]

The main cast consisted of Dan Castellaneta (Homer Simpson, Grampa Simpson, Krusty the Clown among others), Julie Kavner (Marge Simpson), Nancy Cartwright (Bart Simpson, Ralph Wiggum, Nelson Muntz), Yeardley Smith (Lisa Simpson), Hank Azaria (Moe Szyslak, Apu, Chief Wiggum, among others) and Harry Shearer (Ned Flanders, Mr. Burns, Principal Skinner, among others).[6] Other cast members included Marcia Wallace (Edna Krabappel), Pamela Hayden (Milhouse Van Houten, among others), Tress MacNeille (Agnes Skinner, among others), Russi Taylor (Martin Prince), Maggie Roswell (Helen Lovejoy, Maude Flanders, among others), and Karl Wiedergott.[6] Animation directors included Dominic Polcino, Mark Kirkland, Steven Dean Moore, Pete Michels, Matthew Nastuk, Bob Anderson, Mike B. Anderson, Swinton O. Scott III, Neil Affleck, Mark Ervin, Nancy Kruse, and Jim Reardon.

Awards

The season gathered several awards nominations, but unlike previous seasons, it won only two Annie Awards.[7] Tim Long, Larry Doyle, and Matt Selman won the Outstanding Writing in an Animated Television Production award for their role in "Simpsons Bible Stories", while whole of Season 10 won the Outstanding Achievement in an Animated Television Program category.[8]

At the 1999 Primetime Emmy Awards, Alf Clausen was nominated in the Outstanding Music Composition for a Series category for his work on Treehouse of Horror IX in this series,[9] and the episode "Viva Ned Flanders" was nominated for the Outstanding Animated Program for Programming less than One Hour category, but neither of them won.[10] The show was also nominated for a British Academy Television Awards in the Best International Programme Or Series category in 1999, but lost to The Larry Sanders Show.[11] It was nominated for the Golden Reel Award for the Best Sound Editing for a Television Animation category in 1999,[12] while Chris Ledesma was nominated in 2000 for the Best Sound Editing - Television Animation category for her role in the episode "Wild Barts Can't Be Broken".[12] The episode "Bart the Mother" won an Environmental Media Award in 1999 for the Best Television Episodic Comedy category.[9] The show was also nominated for the Blimp Award at the 1999 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards,[13] while Matt Groening received a nomination for Individual Achievement in Comedy at the 1999 Television Critics Association Awards for his entire work on The Simpsons.[14]

Reception

"The show's still funny, but it hasn't been touching in years."[9]

Slate magazine

In the late 1990s, during seasons nine and ten, the tone and emphasis of the show began to change, as some critics started calling the show "tired".[15] By 2000, some long-term fans had become disillusioned with the show and pointed to its shift from character-driven plots to what they perceived as an over-emphasis on "zany antics".[16][17] Author Douglas Coupland described claims of declining quality in the series as "hogwash", saying "The Simpsons hasn't fumbled the ball in fourteen years, it's hardly likely to fumble it now."[18] Mike Scully, who was show runner during seasons nine through twelve, has been the subject of criticism.[9][19] Chris Suellentrop of Slate wrote "under Scully's tenure, The Simpsons became, well, a cartoon. [...] Episodes that once would have ended with Homer and Marge bicycling into the sunset now end with Homer blowing a tranquilizer dart into Marge's neck. The show's still funny, but it hasn't been touching in years."[9]
