A good season, it is not that great but it starts the show
-
Most of the episodes in this season are pretty boring.
-
Classic Simpsons, the humor here is great, and I honestly prefer this style of animation a lot more than what I have seen in the newer seasons. And also, not one of these episodes is bad.
-
The Simpsons has been full of surprises since its glory days, and while its still impressive today, you can't help but feel that the show has run its course.
-
Rough but solid beginning to the classic series, as they the elements are there but the edges had to be smoothed down. The animation is not as good and the characters aren't quite there (Homer is not as brilliantly stupid as he would evolve to) but still a great first season with some classic moments. Not brilliant but you can see it from there.
-
Is it The Simpsons at their best? No. Is it The Simpsons at their worst? No. This season definitely just lays the groundwork for one of the best sitcoms of all time.
-
This is how it all started. There are some great episodes in the first season, but it's also flawed with moments of rough animation and characters under development, who are inconsistent with their definitive version both visually and behaviorally.
-
Man the first seasons were so flawless and soulful.
-
Very dark flash of reality
-
The worst season ever, due to being unfunny and unoriginal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
