The Simpsons

By Tim The only two well-drawn secondary characters in Season One are Jacques and Sideshow Bob. The former appears in subsequent episodes only in the background; the latter is the show’s best secondary character. No character gets funnier as you get smarter than Sideshow Bob.

By ianthecool Sometimes the Simpsons manages to reach heights of pure comedic genius, as the did with the story of how Springfield tried to rejuvenate their city with a monorail doomed for disaster. Everything that makes The Simpsons great is present in this episode, hilarious gags, great storytelli...

By idealskeptic The Simpsons……I remember being in third and fourth grade when The Simpsons were all but required television viewing. To think that the show is still on the air is, at the same time, disturbing and interesting. I watch it when I stumble onto it while flipping channels (and usually enjoy it eve...

It helps that I don’t have to stay late.  That really wore me out last week.  Been getting a lot of work done lately and I’m feeling good about it. FAMILY Sept 11th was Alesha’s birthday.

By Luis THE SIMPSONS NEWS I was taken off the crew I was on and put on yet another crew.  I was told at lunch about it Tuesday.  I don’t really mind though.

The two most obvious changes are Homer being hit by Marge's car, leaving a cartoony outline on the garage wall, and the family chasing their sofa along the road, a Venice canal, and even to outer space. The new sequence had to be filmed as The Simpsons ...

By Luis THE SIMPSONS NEWS Finished up the board-a-matic this Wednesday. Today I start helping out other crews.  In a couple of days, we’ll be back on the show for the final pass.  There’s going to be a lot of work to do.

By Chris America's favorite family! I recently picked up the the complete ninth season of The Simpsons on DVD. Many people seem to consider it one of the best, though at the time I recall seeing a great many complaints on the internet about it. There’s certainly a lot of classic episodes there.

By Luis THE SIMPSONS NEWS Fortunately, the week has been, uneventful.  Just plugging away, doing what I need to do.  Working on storyboard revisions and then working on the scenes I just finished storyboarding. Not the worst thing that could happen.  The show is fun and it’s slowly getting done.  Hop...

It's good to be back, people, but catching up on last week's episodes and reading Genevieve's blog bummed me out; wouldn't you know it, the one week I'm tied up with Sunday night commitments is when all four cartoons are pretty damn good. I agree with Ms. Koski: Last week's line-up was as close...

By bdure But I disagree with his take that the Simpsons themselves have become too callous. He's right in saying Family Guy sometimes is too mean to be funny (though that applies much more often to South Park, in which the wonderfully incisive satire is sometimes overwhelmed by the sense that the cr...

The result is a Simpsons game that may be slightly less polished in terms of gameplay but is easily the game that feels most like a real Simpsons episode. Check out our review for more.

By pig887 dvd downloads Fun for adults and children alike, The Simpsons is a cutting edge television comedy that, like Seinfeld, changed the television landscape in the 1990’s by creating a new genre of TV fun that spawned large network investments in new animated series such as King of the Hill, F...

By GregT I played the XBox 360 version, and it's fair to say that The Simpsons Game is a good looking game. It looks, more or less, just like the series, making smart use of cell shading to produce artwork that would fit perfectly in the TV show. The game's take on Springfield may not be quite as large as in...

Now that the game is out, the writers said they have plenty of fodder for additional games, and that "The Simpsons" TV series can easily go on to episode 500 or even 600.

By Chris Beaumont This weekend saw The Simpsons make their long-awaited debut on the big screen. All of that pent-up big screen aspiration exploded in a lot of yellow as the fans flocked to lap it up. The film had one of the biggest openings of the year as it crossed the $74 million barrier. Who would have guessed?...

By Marty Andrade When I was in middle school I purchased Bart Simpson's Guide to Life and then attempted to live by the book. In high school my hometown received two different FOX affiliates and for one 18-month stretch, the two affiliates would play two Simpsons episodes apiece at different times. So, from...

By Dave Lifton From a production standpoint, Springfield looks fantastic. The tacky pinks and light blues of Springfield translate very well to the screen, giving the town the depth that the movies based on South Park and Beavis & Butthead, funny as they were, lacked.

By Matt Paprocki When it does come together, the pacing is steady and sharp. There’s little time to become bored or uninterested. The Simpson family struggles through some rough spots before bonding together to save Springfield from the oppressive government.

By Chris Beaumont There had been talks of a Simpsons movie dating all the way back to 1994, but it is only now, thirteen years later, that it has become a reality. I was definitely interested in seeing it, but I had some concerns going in. I've enjoyed the show on and off since its inception, however I always thoug...

By Erik Davis Heading into The Simpsons Movie I'll admit that it would've been pretty tough to find someone more skeptical than I was. For me (as well as a lot of people), the long-running television series had lost its touch in the past few years. South Park and Family Guy were continually pushing the anim...

By Chris Beaumont The Simpsons Movie is right around the corner. After eighteen (soon to be nineteen) seasons on television the yellow family will be making the jump to the big screen.

By Adam Finley Filed under: 24, The Simpsons, Celebrities S18E21) I suppose that in many respects this episode should have been the 400th one. It was fast-paced, exciting and hysterical. However, it will go down in history as merely episode 399. I'll talk more about that in my review of episode 400.

By Adam Finley Like I said in my other review, the "24 Minutes" episode, on the surface, seemed like the better choice for the 400th episode, but I'm glad they picked this one. The only reference to this being a milestone of some sort occurred in the opening: a short from the Tracey Ullman days showing Homer...

By Adam Finley I may be a Simpsons apologist, but that doesn't mean I don't understand where people are coming from when they say the show isn't what it used to be. Even those like myself who defend the series for still being one of the smartest and funniest shows on television can still recognize a lesser ep...

By Erik Davis Ever since I was a small boy knocking over convenience stores in order to supply my imaginary pet dragon with enough food for it to survive at least one more day, I've been a fan of The Simpsons. I became addicted during those Tracey Ullman days -- trying to find ways to shoot those mini episode...

By Adam Finley So I watched The Simpsons and laughed pretty hard for half an hour. It didn't cost me a thing, so I can't complain too much. Still, that maternal side of me knows this episode could have been better, that the best episodes are more than just a lot of funny gags. Then again, maybe this was always int...

By Adam Finley I'm not "humor-impaired," (to quote Dave Barry), but there are two Simpsons episodes that stick out in my mind in which both Homer and Marge were seriously tempted to stray: Marge falling for her bowling instructor and Homer falling for a co-worker who is both very sexy and also, in many wa...

By Daryl D Perhaps I shouldn’t be too hard on The Simpsons, one of the longest running, most successful “sitcoms” ever. Some episodes were absolutely brilliant.

By Adam Finley 4. More Simpsons: Complaining that the Simpsons has never been able to duplicate what it was in its early years has become a kind of knee jerk Pavlovian reaction on the part of anyone with access to a blog or messageboard.

By Adam Finley S06E03) The Simpsons has done more than a few clip shows in its almost two decades of existence, and while these looks back at past episodes usually tend to be the least favorite among fans for obvious reasons, I will say that at least the episodes are framed in such a way as to still make them w...

By Scott Weinberg TVS: According to my IMDb expertise, you joined the Simpsons writing staff in 2000, and your first on-screen credit came during Treehouse of Horror 11. Is that accurate? Please tell me you wrote the line "At least stop basting yourself!"

By Ryan j Budke Good episode. The Simpsons, even at their worst, are almost always fantastic. This was by no means their worst either. As I said earlier, this is probably the best "Treehouse of Horror" of the past couple of years. Let me know what you think.
