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.

Groening is right about the fourth season -- it's brilliant from start to finish. Go to Full Review Jen Chaney Washington Post 08/02/2018
I can't choose between these two collections of the two best [fourth and fifth] seasons in "Simpsons" history, so I'm not going to. Go to Full Review Joshua Klein Chicago Tribune 05/30/2018
There's no denying the genius of "Mr. Plow," "I Love Lisa" or "Marge vs. The Monorail," the latter written by Conan O'Brien. Go to Full Review Joe Reid Decider 06/13/2018
There are a billion great gags in this one, from Krusty at Wimbledon to the parents celebrating their children leaving for the summer... Go to Full Review Bryce Wilson CinemaBlend 06/12/2018

"The Simpsons", like A Mighty Wind, or The Office, realizes and perfectly exploits the fact that the line between comedy and tragedy is so thin. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Stephen C @bob25009 Jan 3 22 funny episodes, including the season finale. See more Sam M. Dec 21 Although I haven’t watched a select few episodes of this season (I haven’t seen episodes 5, 8, 18, 19, 20, 21) but having seen a good 16/22 of this season I can say in good faith I love this season. It’s got almost ALL the old gems from classic Simpsons. This season has the likes of Kamp Krusty, Mr Plow, Marge vs the Monorail, A Streetcar named Marge, and a bunch of others. This season just has all the quotes "Because I usually only dream of naked…Marge”-Homer and "A Bear ate a kid”-Bart "Nohohoho”-Krusty "Actually it only ate his hat”-Bart "Was it a nice hat?”-Krusty "Yeah,”-Bart "Nohohohoho”-Krusty. Like seriously how can any other season of any comedy show compete with that? This season also has Ralph Wiggum at his finest with "I Love Lisa" being one of my personal favorite episodes of this season. Best season of the classic Simpsons. Best season just overall. See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Dec 8 The Simpsons’ fourth season cements the family as the most iconic in television history. By this point, the series has fully mastered its blend of sharp satire, heartfelt family moments, and clever social commentary, captivating audiences week after week. Lisa shines even brighter as the morally grounded, brilliant, saxophone-playing genius, embodying a character with intellect, wit, and a sense of purpose that elevates the family dynamic. Maggie’s mischievous and enigmatic presence adds another layer of intrigue, keeping viewers invested in ongoing storylines like the "Who Shot Mr. Burns?" mystery. Secondary and supporting characters also flourish in Season Four. Homer’s antics remain unforgettable, while Marge continues to assert her depth and agency. Iconic characters like Moe, Mr. Burns, Smithers, Apu, Barney, Lenny, Carl, and the Flanders family all get moments that make the universe feel rich and lived-in. Catchphrases such as Bart’s "Eat my shorts!" and Homer’s "D’oh!" See more Joey M Oct 14 One of the best seasons. Has 2 of my favorite episodes Mr Plow and Homer's Triple Bypass See more Fajer A Jul 19 Best show ever must see See more Abdulmohsen A Jul 14 Best show ever must see See more Read all reviews
