      Season 29 – The Simpsons

      2017 Holiday Comedy Animation List
      100% 5 Reviews Tomatometer 71% 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.

      Johnathon W Another fun season that, while spinning its wheels still, delivers some fun episodes, notably "Gone Boy", another fun Sideshow Bob episode. Solid watch for fans. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Boring and sad. Characters have no evolution, just one time use caricatures. Screenwriters like Rob LaZebnik or Rob Oliver are pushing their fascist political stances without any reflection. Lisa is smart and finds socialism. Homer is dumb and hates socialism. Why to watch this over and over and over. Waste of time. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I really enjoyed these episodes, Springfield never gets old Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member One Kinda good episode that's it. Its like they're not even trying anymore. Oh yes that's right they openly say they don't give a fuck anymore and just want to see how far they can take it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review iker s This was my first ever season that I watched from The Simpsons, and that is because, unfortunately, in my country only seasons 29 and 30 are available on Disney Plus... but eventually I will find a way to watch the first seasons. Well, I must say, that I am actually enjoying The Simpsons a lot! I enjoy the multiple pop culture references to Tarantino's movies, King Kong, Star Wars, Dial M for Murder, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missourim and many more! The parody they made to The Exorcist, Coraline and others are also great. I think that The Simpsons also portray certain social criticism, both to American culture and society, as well as the family, other countriesm superhero movies, and many, many more. The elements that make me like The Simpsons a lot are, mainly, three: The first one, is that every episode feels very different from each other, a different story, a different couch gag and a different vibe gets portrayed each time. The second, is the voice acting. Absolutely wonderful for me! Each character has its very special and distinctive voice, and that makes it super fun. And finally, the writing. Absolutely marvelous, sublime! It is genious. Filled with interesting and fun stories, as well as a flood of references in every corner. And well, obviously a simple yet fun animation, and beautifully done. I also like that the animation changes (even just a little bit) in some episodes. I am looking forward to watch the first episodes! But, for now, and for a first impression, it is very good! What will The Simpsons "Glory Days" look like?! As an extra, the episodes I enjoyed the most for this season where E4, E7, and E5.

      Dennis Perkins AV Club The show has done a gimmick episode as a season premiere more than once, and they're perhaps intended to snag viewers with a few unambitious pop culture references. Rated: B- Nov 16, 2017 Full Review Jesse Schedeen IGN Movies As The Simpsons kicks off its 29th season, there's literally nothing the show can attempt that it hasn't done at least once already. Rated: 6.2/10 Oct 2, 2017 Full Review Kevin Yeoman Screen Rant The Simpsons has earned the right to experiment a little bit when it comes to the kinds of stories it wants to tell and how it wants to tell them. Oct 2, 2017 Full Review Tony Sokol Den of Geek This season is off to an amusing start, but it doesn't come on with the abandon of classic years. Rated: 4/5 Oct 2, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews
