      Season 4 – The Simpsons

      1992 Comedy Animation List
      100% 11 Reviews Tomatometer 94% 250+ Ratings Audience Score This long-running animated comedy focuses on the eponymous family in the town of Springfield in an unnamed U.S. state. The head of the Simpson family, Homer, is not a typical family man. A nuclear-plant employee, he does his best to lead his family but often finds that they are leading him. The family includes loving, blue-haired matriarch Marge, troublemaking son Bart, overachieving daughter Lisa and baby Maggie. Other Springfield residents include the family's religious neighbor, Ned Flanders, family physician Dr. Hibbert, Moe the bartender and police chief Clancy Wiggum.

      Jones C This season of The Simpsons demonstrated how a hand-drawn TV show can be so beautiful and heartwarming at some points, and so funny and humourous at other times. Gag after gag, never losing its humour, after each and every episode we want to watch every last second of it. And yet, every episode keeps on getting better in the season, which seems impossible. The 1st episode of the season, "Kamp Krusty" was the first ever Simpsons episode I watched. When I saw the animation for the first time, I thought the episode would be awful. But after about two seconds, I was rolling around on the floor laughing. The brilliance of timing in the humour was astounding, which was followed by another funny thing that came out of Bart's mouth. Talking about Bart, this season was his Prime for laughter. After I watched the whole season a gazillion times, I started to get disappointed with the other seasons as my expectations were so high. But to be fair, the other seasons were good, just not as good as season 4. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/22/23 Full Review Jesse C this season was pretty funny and it was a really good tv show to watch when i woke up Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/05/23 Full Review Jeffrey M The Simpsons Season 4 was an amazing season. I finished it pretty recently and it was really good. The Simpsons Season 4 was a funny season of the Simpsons, and guess what? I LOVE comedy! Also The Simpsons Season 4 had very interesting episodes. This might be my favorite Simpsons season ever ranking last on my worst to best Simpsons Seasons lost ( meaning it's the best ). What a good season. I give it a 86% Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/20/23 Full Review Jackson S This is a good season but it has some meh episodes Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Nick V The early seasons were so good, up to roughly season 8. Wish they didnt bother with Halloween episodes, our fanily skip those ones. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Luke P The first twelve seasons were amazing. The next ones... not so much.

      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
