great cartoon I remember watching the very first episode as a kid and thinking it was the coolest thing ever this is a really good show I have been watching from the start and years later I am still hooked I think that says something about a tv show if you just watch it once in a while its okay if you watch it every week every season its a great show there aren't many like this out there so check out

A true classic.
Although one could view it as such (and many innocent children have), The Simpsons is not just a simple children's cartoon as many would imagine It is fraught with meaningful political commentary and sly moments that make us laugh at ourselves and today's society.
Definitely recommended to anybody who would care to watch.

An episode where Lisa discovers Marge would have ended up successful if it not for the distraction of meeting Homer.
