      2012 Comedy Animation List
      33% 6 Reviews Tomatometer 66% 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.

      Robert David Sullivan AV Club The Simpsons has always had some sick humor, but I don't remember it being this consistently cruel and, worse, generic. Rated: C- Sep 30, 2012 Full Review Brian Tallerico HollywoodChicago.com Maybe there's a second wind for this show yet. Or should that be third, fourth, or fifth wind? Rated: 3/5 Sep 30, 2012 Full Review Rob H. Dawson TV Equals Let's just hope that The Simpsons, going forward, picks back up at least a little, and that this isn't an indicator of the overall quality of the 24th season. Nov 13, 2017 Full Review Josh Kurp Uproxx Remember when Anne Hathaway played Jenny in season 20's "The Good, the Sad and the Drugly," or Sarah Silverman as Nikki in season 21's "Stealing First Base"? Me neither... Oct 26, 2017 Full Review Chris Swanson What Culture Compared to the "meh" premiere of South Park, it's certainly better than most of what's on TV. Rated: 4/5 Oct 3, 2012 Full Review Teresa Lopez TV Fanatic There's nothing very original about the premiere. Rated: 3/5 Sep 30, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews
