Just perfect...

Good concept, poorly executed.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Even with the years passing by.... still the best show EVER.

Absolutely despise it!! It is a ridiculous TV show which I have only seen once,even that time I switched it off within the first 10 mins. If I could rate it 0 stars I would.

I think it's safe to say that everybody born in '89 onward has grown up with The Simpsons. In its first seasons it exploded into popularity as a timeless satire on American family life, and though it pushed boundaries, it never crossed the line. It was an extremely funny, heartfelt comedy that both adults and children alike enjoyed. My problem with it is that it really began to go downhill in the digital age, mainly its introduction of low-brow sex jokes, its constant sea of "guest stars", but most of all its decline of its most beloved characters.I'm probably being an oversensitive prude, but in terms of the crude humour, we've seen a huge jump from the Homer whose dying wish in Season 2 was to wake up and watch the sunrise with Marge, to a Homer who seriously starts talking about masturbation during a therapy appointment in one of the recent episodes. It's unfortunately trying to compete in a market of godawful "adult humour" junk like Family Guy, because apparently there's no room for a decent family comedy anymore, but while lewd jokes and fart humour might work for some things, it just doesn't suit The Simpsons. Springfield's wacky and dysfunctional citizens have always been flawed, but never in a disgusting or perverted way.As for this trend of "guest stars" being on The Simpsons, one or two is fine, but when you have a new celebrity who you don't care about in each episode, from Katy Perry to Snoop Dogg, it gets old REALLY fast and comes off as a sales gimmick to promote talentless pop icons. It takes time away from the comedy and characters of the show itself when so much screen-time gets devoted to this crud. The original Simpsons was timeless. 20 years from now, people aren't going to have any idea what the hell "Alaska Nebraska" is referencing. Bringing up stupid trends and fads that come and go quicker than you can say "cash cow" doesn't really establish the newer seasons as anything timeless or memorable. I'm not sure what's up with the show's weird lean toward liberalism, either. I mean, it was never afraid to poke harmless fun at Republicans or to bring up the flaws of capitalism, but these days it's just pushy and annoying. This is especially evident with the character of Lisa, who used to be just a shy, nerdy and caring girl who always had a voice of reason. Now she's a mini Al Gore with her radical environmentalism, her smug pretentiousness and her inflated ego and notion that she's better than everybody else. She's become a huge hypocrite to boot. I'd say by-far that this show's greatest downfall has been the decline of its characters. Homer was always a slow-witted man, but he was a good man at heart who always sacrificed for his family when he knew it was important. Now he's just a jerky and selfish pig who can be unbelievably cruel to his family and anyone else around him. Very rarely is there even a glimpse anymore of his old self. Bart, a prankster who was always a bad seed but who still cared about others at his best, is now just watered-down. His "pranks" are lame instead of anything classic, and he doesn't seem to care about anyone or anything anymore. Instead of being mischievous, now he's a borderline sociopath. Marge has stayed true to her original persona but even she's a shell; each episode it's like she jumps on the bandwagon for whatever the new parenting trend may be. Even the secondary/minor characters aren't safe. For example Mr. Smithers has now become the most stereotypical gay man I've ever seen, from his rainbow pride parade parachute to his ridiculously obvious fixation on his boss, which has evolved from being funny to just plain bizarre. Nothing wrong with him being gay, but they've been hinging on the "mystery" of his sexuality for numerous seasons when it's already obvious. And my favourite character, the unnamed Blue-Haired Lawyer, who had a habit of appearing at annoying times to declare cease-and-desist cases, always appeared to still be benevolent and just doing his job, and he was willing to help Bart and Homer when they really needed it. Now he's become the show's "evil lawyer", who even admits in court that he views his injured client as a "paycheck" and who allows himself to be bribed by criminals. He's now apparently xenophobic, too. His character hasn't developed much at all except for him turning out to be an author on-the-side, and being conservative. Him and other characters like Ol' Gil, Chief Wiggum and Dr. Nick, have essentially become bad parodies of themselves. Another thing that I think has really hit The Simpsons hard, though the show is certainly not to blame, was the disappearance of promiscuous schoolteacher Edna Krabappel. I just found out that the woman who voiced her had tragically passed away. Edna was an excellent character and she'll be missed by many fans.I will say that, despite me being a sucker for nostalgia, I like the newer animation, as it gives the characters a more uniform look throughout each episode and makes things appear clearer, though I do miss the brighter look of the traditional coloration. I'm glad that the soundtrack has more or less remained consistent. I do think that Season 28 tried thus far to be slightly more character-driven and less lazily focused on celebrities, but I'm not sure how much longer this animated icon will hold up. It's come this far, and there are still many loose ends in terms of background characters so I do hope it stays on, but I hope it tries not to lose sight of what made people fall in love with the weird and wonderful town of Springfield in the first place.

In 1989, The Simpsons came into FULL existence with their first season ever and since then, through the 90's, We were introduced to Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie Simpson who were so god damn interesting! Each character we got introduced to were so interesting to see, Moe and Barney along with Karl and Lenny, Kent and Patty and Selma... UGH! I can't deny but say I loved each and every single character except for Marty. A fair few Simpsons Episodes were highly enjoyable and entertaining. I'm going to pick some of my personal favorite episodes which are... Summer of 4ft. 2, The Springfield files, Homerpalooza, "HOW 90's could you get with an episode like that!!!???!?!?!, they had the Smashing Pumpkins in for voice acting and Sonic youth along with cypress hill.... OH MY GOD!!!! If they did this episode any earlier around, 1992 or 1993, they would of been able to have Kurt Cobain in the episode... But, We can only dream..." ALSO DID YOU KNOW, Sonic Youth threatened not to be in the episode if Courtney Love was cast in it? Now you do. Homer the heretic, Homer the Moe, The Mysterious voyage of our Homer, Hurricane Neddy, Lisa's date with density, A Milhouse divided, And many more...I believe season 21 is where things started to feel more drained, they weren't that funny and I can only stumble across 1 or 2 episodes that I might like each season...I'm sorry but I just don't like season 21 and the other seasons that came after it...I just think they're getting desperate to stay irrelevant... I'm more of a fan of seasons 2 through 20 than I am season 21 and onwards.You see, I grew up watching the Simpsons; I would sit at the dinner table watching the Simpsons as it came on at 6pm every night on channel 10 here in Australia. Such good times! Classic episodes and wonderful memories! Each and every single time I watch these older episodes, I get a strong flow of Nostalgia! I highly recommend watching seasons 1 through 20, 9/10
