      Audience Reviews for The Simpsons: Season 5

      • Feb 12, 2023
        A very good season full of a lot of classics. SHERIF LOBO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
      • Sep 19, 2022
        Another great season with memorable moments. This year can boast many episodes that would be easily included in a "best of". It is prime Simpsons, where you laugh, you get moved, and you laugh again.
      • Mar 16, 2022
        So funny. Also when 'The Simpsons' started to reference other films or tv-shows more.
      • Feb 25, 2022
        Yet another classic season with such episodes as "Cape Feare", "Boy Scoutz 'n the Hood" and "The Last Temptation of Homer". Peak television.
      • May 15, 2021
        So many good episodes in this one as well. I only didn't love the first episode. Which is still better than most of the last 10 seasons so no biggy.
      • Jan 22, 2021
        Season 5 is a great season that has a lot of very memorable episodes.
      • Oct 26, 2020
        So goddamn funny I love it

        The Simpsons is still a very grounded show even to this day. It's Pop Cultural Paradise. Easily one of the smartest shows on any platform. Yes, it has bad episodes, but you can do editing to them, and it still comes out strong. Screenwriter's and Executive Producers don't have a lot of free time to make these shows, so they have to push episodes out as fast as the networks want them aired. Animation is a blessing.

        With the great success of its predecessor, The Simpsons will never ever top the quality of the fourth series. The Simpsons series 5 is a good series but isn't that great. Some episodes on this series are great e.g. Cape Feare (another all time great), Homerâ??s Barbershop Quartet, Boy Scoutz â??n The Hood and The Last Temptation Of Homer. Well there isn't really much to say about this series except that it is a good series which contains some great episodes.

        "Is all TV this wonderful?" –Mr. Burns. A near perfect season, Season 5 of The Simpsons is extraordinarily entertaining and outrageously funny. It's also the season of Bart, as he takes over hosting duty of the Halloween Special ("Treehouse of Horror IV"), is targeted for revenge by a recently released Sideshow Bob ("Cape Feare"), becomes the "I Didn’t Do It Boy" on Krusty's TV show ("Bart Gets Famous"), is chosen by Mr. Burns to be his heir ("Burns' Heir"), becomes the model for enlightenment for self-help guru Brad Goodman ("Bart's Inner Child"), and is the key witness in the trial of Mayor Quimby's nephew ("The Boy Who Knew Too Much"). But there are also several classic non-Bart episodes, like "Homer Goes to College," "Deep Space Homer," and "$pringfield." Things get a little more zany and fanciful than in previous seasons (Homer becoming an astronaut is particularly out there), but the satire and parodies are as hilarious as ever. Additionally, the writers have tailored a number guest appearance specifically for such celebrities as James Woods, James Brown, Kathleen Turner, Ernest Borgnine, Conan O’Brien, Buzz Aldrin, Michelle Pfeiffer, the Ramones, James Tyler, and Robert Goulet. The Simpsons' fifth season is truly one of the best of the series and it still holds up.
