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.

David Hinckley New York Daily News 01/27/2021
The Simpsons remind us that, contrary to the impression one might get from America's Funniest Home Videos, humor based on screwing up does not have to stay on the level of The Three Stooges. It can be genuinely touching and much funnier. Go to Full Review Wook Kim Entertainment Weekly 06/12/2018

TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Dec 8 The Simpsons’ second season builds brilliantly on the foundation laid by the first, expanding the family dynamics while introducing audiences to the beloved pets, Santa’s Little Helper and Snowball. This season delves deeper into the generational and relational aspects of the Simpson family, particularly the complicated, humorous father-son relationship between Homer and Bart. Marge’s character also becomes more nuanced, highlighting her desire for independence and moments of self-expression beyond traditional domestic roles. The series continues to balance adult-oriented humor with relatable family themes, proving that it is not just a children’s cartoon but a pioneering force in adult animation. The writing deepens audience investment by exploring a broader cast of recurring characters, creating layered storylines that are both funny and emotionally resonant. Overall, Season Two strengthens The Simpsons’ cultural and comedic impact. See more Fajer A Jul 19 Best show ever must see See more Abdulmohsen A Jul 14 Best show ever must see See more I. S. W 02/21/2025 This is when The Simpsons was not only well written, but had a real SOUL! Even though most of the episodes are excellent in the first ten or more years, I bought this box set for one episode only, "Lisa's Substitute". That episode will edify even the most callous of individuals. A must-see! See more Ryker E 08/04/2024 Another banger in my opinion this season has the first perfect season. Would recommend for 9+.
