A Brilliant, funny show which has sadly since become mainstream, like all of FOX's new "shows". The general concensus of regular simpsons fans agree that it became this sometime around the 2001-2002 season(season 12). Occasionally, there is a standout episode, however.

A good show with humor of epic proportions. Some of the newer series are a litlle disapointing, but these episodes are still better than anything else.

The greatest show in the history of telivision.

A great animated sitcom premiering in late 1989 as a spin off from The Tracy Ullman Show, it is still in production, shown on Network Ten, Australia twice or more a day and shown on FOX in the USA, a movie based on the series will be released in 2007. The show is about Homer Simpson and his family's misadventures in there fictional misfit city Springfield. The actors who voice multiple characters are brilliant, also Phil Hartman who voiced Troy McClure and Lionel Hutz sadly wrote out of the show due to Hartman's homicide.

Every one should want to be Homer Simpson.
Reasons:
1) He never has to do anything.... Marge does it for him.
2) He gets to come home to a giant meal, beer, and the TV. (What more could you ask for in life.)
3) He is one of the stars so no matter how much he fucks up he still never gets in trouble.
4) No matter how bad things are he can still laugh. Not because he has hope...but because he has no damn clue what the hell is going on.
5) All he has to do at work is sit there and eat donut.

** I could go in and on about him but if you aren't convinced now that he has it good then...get a fucking life!!! **

the BEST SHOW EVER!!...
those people who replied saying that the simpsons are shit...they are just fucking lame cunts..they will have no sense of humor..

awesome. i think the episode where homer takes over for mr smithers, as mr burns personal assistant is the best. lol!!! or the one where homer travels back in time with the toaster.
