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.

      James Poniewozik TIME Magazine If "Clown in the Dumps" is not a classic on the level of season three's "Like Father, Like Clown," it was still a fitting, sweet conclusion to the story of Hyman and Herschel. Jun 15, 2018 Full Review Matthew Poland Slant Magazine The series has settled into a relaxed middle age, and one of the pleasures of tuning in at this late stage is the comfort of the familiar. Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 29, 2014 Full Review Dennis Perkins AV Club The Simpsons isn't what it used to be, and has lost some of its heart over its quarter-century. Rated: C Sep 29, 2014 Full Review Tony Sokol Den of Geek The Simpsons always make you care for their characters. There is a sweetness inherent in the most egregious traits. Rated: 4/5 Nov 16, 2017 Full Review Stacy Glanzman TV Fanatic One thing that can be said about the SImpsons is no one will ever accuse this show of shying away from poking fun at itself. In fact, that's one of the things it does best. Rated: 4/5 Sep 29, 2014 Full Review Jesse Schedeen IGN Movies I doubt anyone would argue at this point that The Simpsons' best days aren't behind it. Rated: 5.8/10 Sep 29, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

      johnathon w Another solid but unremarkable season with some enjoyable moments but no standouts. The show was clearly spinning its wheels at this point but it is still better than most TV. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Not bad enough for 3 stars. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member This is justified as great Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Im so impressed with this season of this Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Oh yeah that's a great one Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Season 26 of The Simpsons is yet another lackluster season that barely delivers any laughs. Reflecting the drop in quality is the rather poor roster of guest stars, (Sarah Silverman, Nick Offerman, Willem Defoe, Sammy Hagar, Elon Musk, etc) which is pretty light. Also, a number of the episodes are recycled plots from previous seasons; such as Marge starting a food franchise, Homer joining a band, Krusty retiring from show business, and Grandpa retelling old war stories. However, there is an excellent Futurama crossover episode that's quite clever and fun. Long past its prime, The Simpsons isn't really trying anymore and it definitely shows in Season 26.
