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.

C-
The Simpsons has always had some sick humor, but I don't remember it being this consistently cruel and, worse, generic. Go to Full Review

Maybe there's a second wind for this show yet. Or should that be third, fourth, or fifth wind? Go to Full Review

Let's just hope that The Simpsons, going forward, picks back up at least a little, and that this isn't an indicator of the overall quality of the 24th season. Go to Full Review

Remember when Anne Hathaway played Jenny in season 20's "The Good, the Sad and the Drugly," or Sarah Silverman as Nikki in season 21's "Stealing First Base"? Me neither... Go to Full Review

Compared to the "meh" premiere of South Park, it's certainly better than most of what's on TV. Go to Full Review

TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Dec 27 The Simpsons season 24 shows some signs of stumbling, with moments that feel less consistent and occasionally repetitive compared to earlier seasons. After 24 years, the challenge of keeping stories fresh is evident, and some episodes rely on familiar tropes or "copy and paste" moments rather than innovative storytelling. That said, the season still delivers enough of the family’s charm and humor to remain enjoyable. Characters like Grandpa Simpson and the extended cast maintain their appeal, providing familiarity and grounding for fans. While the creative consistency may waver, the show still manages to offer laughs, clever satire, and relatable family dynamics. Season 24 isn’t perfect, but it remains a decent continuation of the long-running series, balancing nostalgia with occasional fresh ideas.

Still a fun watch throughout. See more 05/17/2021 There were a couple bad one or two memorables and a lot of decent ones.
