      Season 21 – The Simpsons

      2009 Comedy Animation List
      Reviews 76% 100+ 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.

      Jackson S A fine season for the Simpsons Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review johnathon w Another solid season that while not a standout, remained enjoyable throughout. Fun watch for fans. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Not a lot that's very bad, only a couple that are good, and the rest is sort of positive but forgettable. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Season 21 continues the success the series found in season 20. Season 21 has a lot of creative concepts and even something more basic like Boy Meets Curl can deliver excellently thanks to solid humor. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Funny at times but sometimes it isn't funny at all, show has been going on too long now i think, overall it is isn't too bad Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
