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.

Nothing, ABSOLUTELY nothing was good here. EVERY, SINGLE, EPISODE, WAS, TRASH. NOTHING GOOD ABOUT IT. See more johnathon w @Hoppynsc 10/29/2022 Another solid season that actually saw some interesting changes to the show, specifically a romance between two long time characters. Outside of that, a fun watch that still hasn't reached the peak of the past. See more 05/17/2021 Not really anything I hate but not necessarily a lot to like either. It's more like blind brand loyalty now. Not giving it 3 ½ stars was so difficult but this season really doesn't deserve more. See more Read all reviews
