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.

Stephen C @bob25009 Jan 3 22 funny episodes, including the premiere and finale. See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Dec 9 Season 18 of The Simpsons continues to demonstrate the series’ ability to evolve and deepen character development, offering viewers a wealth of engaging storylines and dynamic interactions. This season, in particular, gives more spotlight to secondary characters, such as Marge’s sisters, allowing their personalities and quirks to shine in new ways. The show’s creativity remains a defining strength, with writers crafting inventive plots that balance humor, satire, and emotional moments. Beyond character growth, Season 18 showcases the series’ knack for playful yet uncanny predictions, highlighting how some storylines eerily anticipate real-world events. The combination of clever writing, layered characters, and inventive humor makes this season a compelling continuation of Springfield’s ever-expanding world, reaffirming why The Simpsons remains a cornerstone of animated storytelling even after so many years. See more Abdulmohsen A Jul 14 Best show ever must see See more Jeffrey M 12/24/2023 Season 18 was an okay season. There were some really good episodes, but there was my least favorite Simpsons episode of all time in this season, The Boys of Bummer. Some episodes that I liked were The Mook, The Chief, The Wife, and Her Homer, 24 Minutes, and the underrated gem, Stop Or My Dog Will Shot. Some of the episodes I didn't like were Kill Gil, Volume 1 & 2, Jazzy and the Puzzycats, and my least favorite Simpsons episode ever, The Boys of Bummer. I didn't hate the annual Treehouse of Horror this season, but it still doesn't live up to the classic Treehouses of Horror. This season was better than last season though, with many many good episodes. I give this season a 68%. See more johnathon w @Hoppynsc 08/27/2022 Another solid season that managed to also deliver a classic episode or two, with the "24 Minutes" being a superb parody of "24", complete with Kieffer Sutherland guest starring. Another solid watch. See more 05/16/2021 It's still good. But not as wholesome as it once was. See more Read all reviews
