Zaukul's Review
The Simpsons is a tough show for me to review. What I think of as early Simpsons, about the first 10 seasons or so, is fantastic. However, I always think of everything after that as not being nearly as good. Granted, I haven't watched all the more recent episodes, but overall the ones I've seen haven't been nearly as good. So with all that said, the review that follows is going to be about the early Simpsons, the period from the beginning to somewhere a bit after season 10.

The Simpsons! It's one of my favorite shows of all time, and one that I've seen many many times. I used to spend every summer when I was little watching all the Simpsons VHS tapes that my dad made. He would tape every new episode of the Simpsons, and catalog them with numbered labels and an index. Based on what I can remember, we had at least 15 Simpsons tapes at 6 hours each (commercials included).

Every one of those old episodes of the Simpsons is so packed with hilarious gags, pop culture references, and clever storylines. Watching an episode, you practically never come across any jokes that fall flat, and all the references are hilarious if you get them, but subtle enough that you can easily ignore them if you don't get them.

There are so many memorable lines and classic scenes that rarely does a day go by when something doesn't happen that conjures up a funny Simpsons related memory.

Watched often during the 1990s and many times since and rated 5. (For early Simpsons that is.)
