      Season 22 – The Simpsons

      2010 Comedy Animation List
      Reviews 68% 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 For some reason I really like this ones episodes Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review johnathon w Another solid season that actually saw some interesting changes to the show, specifically a romance between two long time characters. Outside of that, a fun watch that still hasn't reached the peak of the past. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Not really anything I hate but not necessarily a lot to like either. It's more like blind brand loyalty now. Not giving it 3 ½ stars was so difficult but this season really doesn't deserve more. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Oh super amazing cartoon Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Season 22 is... acceptable, but ultimately bland. There are some really bad 3rd acts, mean-spirited jokes, hokey plots, and bad characterization that make season 22 a rocky ride, and the worst season up to this point. That said the last 6 or so episodes are solid work from the crew. (Excluding the Jersey Shore parody) Rated 3 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

      Emily St. James AV Club Anyway, I liked many of the elements of the season premiere of The Simpsons without thinking the elements all came together into a successful piece. Rated: C+ Oct 11, 2018 Full Review Eric Hochberger TV Fanatic ... to be honest, we're probably going to be too generous with this show. Rated: 3/5 Nov 13, 2017 Full Review Ciara Monya TV Equals The writing could have been better...
