This long-running animated comedy focuses on the eponymous family in the town of Springfield in an unnamed U.S. state. The head of the Simpson family, Homer, is not a typical family man. A nuclear-plant employee, he does his best to lead his family but often finds that they are leading him. The family includes loving, blue-haired matriarch Marge, troublemaking son Bart, overachieving daughter Lisa and baby Maggie. Other Springfield residents include the family's religious neighbor, Ned Flanders, family physician Dr. Hibbert, Moe the bartender and police chief Clancy Wiggum.

Stephen C @bob25009 Jan 3 21 funny episodes, including episode 19. See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Dec 8 Season 16 of The Simpsons remains a strong installment in the long-running series, continuing to build on the established world of Springfield while introducing fresh storylines. By this point, the show has matured, offering a balance of clever satire, over-the-top humor, and genuinely heartfelt moments. The characters are well-developed, and their interactions continue to feel dynamic, keeping audiences invested after sixteen years. Episodes range from zany, exaggerated comedy to more emotional, reflective stories, demonstrating the show’s versatility. The writing maintains the series’ trademark wit, while callbacks and recurring themes reward long-time viewers. Even after so many seasons, Springfield remains a rich, evolving universe, and the series continues to reflect and engage with contemporary culture. Season 16 reinforces The Simpsons’ iconic status, proving that the show can still deliver laughs, meaningful storytelling, and memorable moments, solidifying its legacy See more Abdulmohsen A Jul 14 Best show ever must see See more Stephen C 12/29/2024 Get the **** out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Songer K 05/21/2024 Very middle of the road. See more Jeffrey M 11/24/2023 The Simpsons Season 16 is a kind of bad season. For me, this is the end of the Decline era and beginning of the Age of Darkness. Some expectional episodes are The Heartbroken Kid, The Father, The Son, and The Holy Guest Star, Future Drama, and my favorite, Treehouse of Horror IX. I like watched older episodes much better than watching this season. The episodes are such so boring. I give this a 54%. See more Read all reviews
