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.

The real question is whether The Simpsons can still bring the funny. All signs point to yes with big neon asterisks attached. Go to Full Review Rob Humanick Slant Magazine 11/10/2017
3.5/4
The Simpsons has remained as quintessentially American as anything else produced by our culture, recognizing our dual capacities for greatness and folly, for cooperation and chaos, for weakness and resolve. Go to Full Review Kyle Lemmon Under the Radar 05/11/2018

Stephen C @bob25009 Jan 3 22 funny episodes, including the finale. See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Dec 27 The Simpsons season 23 continues to deliver the humor, relatability, and unique charm that has defined the series for decades. Even after 23 years, the show remains fresh, offering inventive storylines that highlight the quirks and dynamics of the Simpson family. The season balances outrageous, over-the-top comedy with moments of genuine warmth, allowing viewers to connect with the characters while laughing at their absurd antics. The writing stays sharp and clever, maintaining the show’s signature satirical edge while exploring new situations and scenarios that keep the series engaging. The Simpsons’ creativity shines through, proving that even after decades, the family can still surprise and entertain audiences. Season 23 is a testament to the show’s enduring appeal, blending nostalgia with fresh humor and compelling storytelling.

There are some fun moments, but not the show at its best. See more 05/17/2021 Not a lot that was really bad, not that much that was forgettable, some that were good. And enough that was memorable (with heart) for the season to get a good rating. See more 10/26/2020 Hey man I'm so cool 🏴‍☠️ See more Read all reviews
