Critics Reviews

Tim Goodman San Francisco Chronicle Groening is right about the fourth season -- it's brilliant from start to finish. Rated: 4/4 Nov 14, 2018 Full Review Jen Chaney Washington Post I can't choose between these two collections of the two best [fourth and fifth] seasons in "Simpsons" history, so I'm not going to. Aug 2, 2018 Full Review Joshua Klein Chicago Tribune There's no denying the genius of "Mr. Plow," "I Love Lisa" or "Marge vs. The Monorail," the latter written by Conan O'Brien. May 30, 2018 Full Review Joe Reid Decider There are a billion great gags in this one, from Krusty at Wimbledon to the parents celebrating their children leaving for the summer... Jun 13, 2018 Full Review Bryce Wilson CinemaBlend "The Simpsons", like A Mighty Wind, or The Office, realizes and perfectly exploits the fact that the line between comedy and tragedy is so thin. Rated: 5/5 Jun 12, 2018 Full Review Josh Kurp Uproxx Every episode from season four is perfect. TV at its best. Oct 20, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews
