Some still consider it one of the greatest TV shows ever. [1][2][3]

Every now and again you find something hanging around in the back of the fridge or freezer you forgot to throw away. That's how I feel about The Simpsons. Its humour is, in my opinion, long past its "use by" date, feeling stale and tired. Its a shame it hasn't been shelved as what it did do back in the day, premiering on "The Tracey Ullman Show" (remember her?) was fantastic, witty and current. For myself I'd rather …

The awkward of Homer, and his family, and the endless stories. Is fun, and of course Homer legendary expression "Do'h" with has been taking into the dictionary. If you one of the few, who has been living under a rock, go see an episode.

Despite a MAJOR decline in Quality, The Simpsons is still one of the greatest Television shows of all time. Its peaks are some of the highest out there, and it has been able to regain its footing as of late. Fantastic Series.

It's not as good as it used to be, but the old episodes are glorious. I personally consider the classics as Seasons 1-19 (though you may consider them a different timeframe.) They have much better humor and the voice actors sound great (although when Marge cries she sounds like present Marge.) When you've got classics like "Marge Vs. Monorail" and "Whacking Day" the originals really are the best. Now they are …

The Simpsons is my all time favorite show! I am 13, and I can relate in so many ways since the Simpsons are an average American family! My favorite character is Lisa because even though she feels lonely because of her smarts, she prevails and overcomes so many ...
How this was made: an AI model (deepseek-v4-flash) read 34 of the 311 public posts we collected about this series and wrote the summary, likes and dislikes, citing the posts behind each point ([n] opens the post). A second AI pass checked every statement against the posts it cites; anything it could not match was removed, and code removed any statement with quotation marks, numbers that are not in the posts, or unattributed claims about people. The split is counted from the posts’ own ratings. Generated Oct 13, 2026. Method
Critics, per Wikipedia
The Simpsons was the Fox network's first television series to rank among a season's top 30 highest-rated shows. In 1990, Bart quickly became one of the most popular characters on television in what was termed "Bartmania". In the early 1990s, millions of T-shirts featuring Bart were sold; as many as one million were sold on some days. Believing Bart to be a bad role model, several American public schools banned T-shirts featuring Bart next to captions such as "I'm Bart Simpson. Who the hell are you?" and "Underachiever ('And proud of it, man!')". The Simpsons merchandise sold well and generated $2 billion in revenue during the first 14 months of sales. Due to the show's success, over the…

It ends with stark black-and-white footage of the series's puppet TV news anchor, Howard Handupme, somberly saying, "Good night. Goodbye." It's like if The Simpsons ended with Homer triggering nuclear annihilation.
