Starring: Hank Azaria, Harry Shearer, Nancy Cartwright

Summary: Originally created by cartoonist Matt Groening, "Our Favorite Family," has graced the small screen in one form or another for over 20 years.

The Simpson family first appeared on television as the subjects of interstitial "shorts" on The Tracey Ullman Show in April of 1987. The Simpsons remained a staple on The Tracey Ullman Show for three seasons until they premiered in their own half-hour series, on December 17, 1989. With the help of Jim Brooks and Sam Simon, Matt Groening's cartoon family turned into an instant success.

Set in Springfield, the average American town, the show focuses on the antics and everyday adventures of the Simpson family; Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie, as well as a virtual cast of thousands. Since the beginning, the series has been a pop culture icon, attracting hundreds of celebrities to guest star. The show has also made name for itself in its fearless satirical take on politics, media and American life in general.

Currently in its 21st season, The Simpsons has piled up over 440 episodes, over 20 Emmy Awards, a handful of music albums, countless endorsements and merchandise, and even made the jump to the silver screen in the summer of 2007 with The Simpsons Movie. And according to Matt Groening, "There is no end in sight."… Expand

The Simpsons has never been better. At a time when half-hour TV comedy is reaching a new level of self-referential daring — you can't fully appreciate the intricate, in-joke pleasures of great shows like NBC's Seinfeld and HBO's The Larry Sanders Show unless you've also watched a lot of really bad TV — The Simpsons continues to emphasize that there's a big world out there that television barely touches upon.

Featuring the wickedly dark "Kamp Krusty", the joyfully giddy "Marge vs. the Monorail" and the satirical "Last Exit to Springfield", Season 4 is the best SImpsons season hands down.

The best Simpsons season by far, in my opinion. Almost all of the episodes are brilliant, funny and well-written.

The Last Exit to Springfield is considered by many as the best episode of the series. Homer's Triple Bypass is perhaps my personal all time favourite episode. If you haven't yet watched the early Simpsons seasons start with this one and you'll be hooked. More recent seasons are crap compared to this one. This is old school Simpsons. 10/10… Expand

By the time the show reached this fourth season (way back in 1992 would you believe!) the writers, animators and voice actors had really hit full stride. Episodes like Mr Plow, Lisa's First Word and Marge Vs the Monorail are not only amongst the best episodes ever produced by The Simpsons but amongst the best episodes of any comedy show ever made. The mere fact that most people can still recite lines from their favourite episodes is true testament its enduring quality.… Expand
