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...

Written 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.

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...

Opinion: The Simpsons Game

Written 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. Next up for the writers is The Simpsons Ride at Universal Studios, which opens in 2008 (and replaces the Back to the Future ri...

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?...

Written 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.

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...

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...

Written 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.

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...

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.
