Season 4

The fourth season began on September 24, 1992 with the first episode, "Kamp Krusty," and ended on May 13, 1993 with "Krusty Gets Kancelled". Al Jean and Mike Reiss were the show runners of the season, as they also were for the previous season. 
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."
Season 4 is also had been associated with an attempted 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 where a Simpsons film would finally be made known as The Simpsons Movie, released on July 27, 2007 worldwide.
All 22 episodes of Season 4, including extras, were released on DVD on June 15, 2004 in Region 1, August 2, 2004 in Region 2 and August 25, 2004 in Region 4.

==Production==
This is the remain association of Klasky Csupo with The Simpsons as it produced the Ullman shorts and Seasons 1-5. 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, 8Fxx. 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 9Fxx.
== Trivia ==
* This season coincidentally ended exactly 3 years after Season 1 had ended.
* This season's production code is 9Fxx.
* This season is the very 1st time that Film Roman had helped with animation and cooperated in produing the show & episodes, and they replaced another animation animation company under the name of Klasky Csupo, who had helped with the show's animation during the 1st 3 seasons. For the next 24 years, they would go on and continue animating the show all the way up until Season 28 in late-2016, when, starting with Dad Behavior, they would finally be replaced by 20th Television Animation on Sunday, November 20th, 2016. 20th Television Animation still produces the animation to this day right now.
* This is the 1st season to produce & air a clipshow episode, which is a trend that went on until the thirteenth season years later. These episodes were produced and made because the FOX company (What the show airs on, by the way) wanted a way for the Simpsons crew to save money and animation. For this season's case, that clipshow episode that went on TV during this season is So It's Come to This: A Simpsons Clip Show, which aired exactly on the April Fool's Day holiday in 1993.
* This is the last season for Al Jean & Mike Reiss to run the show as showrunners before they departured from those roles to produce a new show called The Critic. After so, a new showrunner, named David Mirkin, will be hired to replace them in Season 5. However, Al Jean can become the showrunner again during the 13th season in 2001, 8 years later.
* This is the final season to feature all of the original Season 1 writers from 1989. They would move on after this season's production is done and Season 5 would bring in lots of new writers surpassing them. The last episode produced before the original writers left the show was the holdover episode Cape Feare, which aired as part of the following season on Thursday, October 7, 1993 on the FOX program.
* This is the last season to have a Dutch dub on RTL 4.
==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."
