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.

James Poniewozik TIME Magazine Jun 15, 2018
If "Clown in the Dumps" is not a classic on the level of season three's "Like Father, Like Clown," it was still a fitting, sweet conclusion to the story of Hyman and Herschel. Go to Full Review Matthew Poland Slant Magazine Oct 29, 2014
2.5/4
The series has settled into a relaxed middle age, and one of the pleasures of tuning in at this late stage is the comfort of the familiar. Go to Full Review Dennis Perkins AV Club Sep 29, 2014

The Simpsons isn't what it used to be, and has lost some of its heart over its quarter-century. Go to Full Review Tony Sokol Den of Geek Nov 16, 2017
4/5
The Simpsons always make you care for their characters. There is a sweetness inherent in the most egregious traits. Go to Full Review Stacy Glanzman TV Fanatic Sep 29, 2014
4/5
One thing that can be said about the SImpsons is no one will ever accuse this show of shying away from poking fun at itself. In fact, that's one of the things it does best. Go to Full Review Jesse Schedeen IGN Sep 29, 2014
5.8/10
I doubt anyone would argue at this point that The Simpsons' best days aren't behind it. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

diogo13 T @Tua_mera Jul 11, 2026 One of the most action-packed and inspired seasons of this modern phase, driven by historic crossovers and memorable conceptual episodes. The writing gains extra momentum, balancing absurd humor with a great pace of jokes that greatly enhances the year's consistency. See more Stephen C @bob25009 Jan 3, 2026 22 funny episodes, including the crossover with Futurama's universe. See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Dec 27, 2025 The Simpsons season 26 continues to deliver the classic humor and family dynamics that fans love while introducing new characters and further developing existing ones. Even after 26 years, the show maintains its clever storytelling, sharp wit, and engaging scenarios, keeping audiences entertained with the unique personalities of each Simpson. However, the lack of aging among the characters—Maggie still a baby—limits the potential for deeper growth and more expansive storylines. Introducing age progression could open doors to high school experiences, new friendships, and richer narratives within the Simpson universe. Despite this, the season succeeds in balancing humor, creativity, and family-centric plots, demonstrating that The Simpsons can still innovate and entertain while staying true to its iconic identity. See more Abdulmohsen A @RT47416480 Jul 14, 2025 Best show ever must see See more johnathon w @Hoppynsc Dec 11, 2022 Another solid but unremarkable season with some enjoyable moments but no standouts. The show was clearly spinning its wheels at this point but it is still better than most TV. See more May 17, 2021 Not bad enough for 3 stars. See more Read all reviews
