      Season 23 – The Simpsons

      2011 Comedy Animation List
      60% 5 Reviews Tomatometer 64% 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.

      Pablo. it really was one of the best seasons of all time so much cool things happened great story Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review johnathon w Definitely one of the weaker seasons, hinting a coming downturn, especially the season finale starring Lady Gaga. There are some fun moments, but not the show at its best. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Not a lot that was really bad, not that much that was forgettable, some that were good. And enough that was memorable (with heart) for the season to get a good rating.

      Hayden Childs AV Club The real question is whether The Simpsons can still bring the funny. All signs point to yes with big neon asterisks attached. Rated: B Nov 16, 2017 Full Review Rob Humanick Slant Magazine The Simpsons has remained as quintessentially American as anything else produced by our culture, recognizing our dual capacities for greatness and folly, for cooperation and chaos, for weakness and resolve. Rated: 3.5/4 Nov 10, 2017 Full Review Kyle Lemmon Under the Radar The Simpsons have been in a critical tailspin for quite some time now. The season premiere of the 23rd season doesn't change much. Rated: 3/10 May 11, 2018 Full Review Eric Hochberger TV Fanatic ... still had plenty of laughs thanks to the ridiculous cast of characters that is The Simpsons. Rated: 3.5/5 Nov 13, 2017 Full Review Josh Kurp Uproxx Negative points for the 43,583 guest stars... Oct 26, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews
