I remember faintly when the Simpsons first came on television. Actually I remember when they were a little snippet segment on the Tracy Aulman show. I thought those little snippets were funny so when the show first aired many years ago, I tuned in. I...
Pros: Brilliant satire of American life, whether we like it or not Cons: If you don't want your children to imitate Bart, be a PARENT...
I was in High School when "The Simpsons" debuted, and was one of millions of people who cried out against it. The Simpson family was immoral, led by a lazy irresponsible lout of a father who let his animated family get away with everything. Homer is a...
Pros: offers a (distorted) mirror image Cons: crude humor
Gee, I hope not. But the Simpson family and all of the other residents of Springfield make us take a good, hard look at ourselves and wonder if we really come across that way. "The Simpsons" has the highest concentration of stereotypes of any...
Pros: Genius Comedy, Good Enough for Kids? You bet Cons: Are you kidding me, there are none?!
Ok, ok . . . I know what you are all saying! What on earth am I talking about. The true Simpsons fan could easily cite this quotable reference. For the addict fans out there like me, we easily say , "Oh yeah, that was Episode #G364T92". Call...
Pros: A mirror for America and a well of comedy that never runs dry Cons: This is the 487th review - there's nothing unique about loving the Simpsons!
This, I’m afraid, is going to be the 487th review on The Simpsons and please bear with me if you’ve read it all before. So much for developing a Unique Epinions Personality. No, I am one of 487 Epiniacs who sat down and took the time to tell the world...
Pros: Funny, satirical and great parodies Cons: Getting a bit long in the tooth
I think just about everything has been said about The Simpsons. It's both funny and satirical, while still keeping that underlining sweetness that keeps the show grounded. Its influence on pop culture has been huge and the that the show has had ...
Pros: Witty lines, over 10 seasons of fun, great show! Cons: Children won't appreciate the humor.
I have been a fan of the Simpsons for quite a while now. I still remember the very first episode when we first met the odd ball family. It was the December of 1989, when Matt Groening unvieled his new cartoon. At first, the FOX network was skeptical...
Pros: This is a clever and hysterical show Cons: Itchy & Scratchy isn't suitable for young ones
It was in the early 90s (a tumultuous decade that introduced to the world such concepts as angst grunge rock and body piercing) when I remember being introduced to the Fox animated show, The Simpsons. I pondered the idea for two seconds and...
Pros: very tongue-in-cheek look at American society Cons: kids simply won't understand
I’ve been watching The Simpsons since the show’s premiere all those many years ago. I was in college when the show hit the airwaves, and was immediately hooked. I think the show is very well written, and I love how it is a half-hour of constant...
Pros: Funny, colourful and a brilliant program Cons: Not on enough in the UK
Despite the lack of SKY or Digital in my house, I can safely say that I love the Simpson’s. For 11 years now our favourite family has grown from obscurity to world stardom – and George Bush Snr even knows who they are, albeit for the wrong reasons – and...
Pros: Great humor, funny characters, fantastic new ideas every week Cons: NOT for children
The Simpsons. The elusive, controversial, crude humor, keep you young children away from kind of show. I love it. I have been a dedicated fan of the Simpsons for as long as I can remember. The pilot show first aired on April 19, 1987 and has been ...
Pros: intelligent, funny and well written Cons: not for young children
Homer Simpson is a family man who also needs his own personal private time to unwind after work at the nuclear power plant. He loves to frequent Moe’s bar and smack down a few nice cold ones. Fortunately his wife Marge is there to support his decision...
Love it or hate it, The Simpsons is a clever TV program. What other show could have such universal appeal with a fine mix of irreverence and slightly twisted morality?
The Simpsons have had a significant effect on our society, from...
Pros: Excellent animation, multi level humor Cons: Absolutely none
A lot of nonsense is written about The Simpsons being a poor example to young people. I consider the Simpson family to be a role model for Americans, and I would happily move to Springfield tomorrow.
