Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Aspen Orson There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

cathylr Probably the longest running cartoon so far. The beauty of it is that the characters Will never grow older while the stories are always following the trend. Can be enjoyed by kids and adults either ways as there are multiple readings/understandings.

petragreen First 10 seasons classic, funny and enjoyable fun show to watch. Half way through season 11 it starts to go meh but then after that the more seasons made through out the years the worse and worse it gets. How is this show still on going today is mind blowing. The humour isn't funny at all anymore. The couch gags drag on for what feels like 3-5 minutes. Ideas for each episode are running dry. There is even a Halloween episode that relies on fart jokes. Hope it ends at season 30.

keelhaul-80856 I understand that this was one of the first cartoon shows that is made for adults and broke some ground for others, but I just don't see the amazing qualities and praise heaped on it. It is like saying that some monster film from the 1920s broke ground for future horror masterpieces. Only a couple of movie buffs care about the old silent film, and while I might watch it to understand early films, I wouldn't say it was greater and more entertaining than Texas Chainsaw or Exorcist. For some reason, everyone seems to feel indebted to the Simpsons as some great institution--however, I have simply hated and abhorred this show since my childhood, when it first started coming on. I have watched several episodes, or partial episodes off-and-on for years, and this show is about as boring and cheesy as it gets. I really don't get the appeal. I cannot BELIEVE THIS SHOW IS STILL ON TV IN PRIMETIME Sunday PROGRAMMING!!! Also, why is everyone yellow with pointy heads and crap? They all look like they have jaundice and deformities. Nothing about this show appeals to me. The characters are stupid and ugly. The messages are lame. The voices are annoying. The stories aren't nearly as hysterical and fast-paced like numerous other shows.King of the Hill, Family Guy, Beavis & Butthead, American Dad, Cleveland Show, South Park-- all of these are 100 times funnier and more interesting. The Simpsons is such a borefest, I usually can't even finish an entire episode without changing channels. Strangely, most people on IMDb that give all the other cartoon shows bad ratings, use this show as the standard and claim that the Simpsons is the champion of animation comedy. PUHHHLEASE! They must find stuff like colonoscopies and jury duty exciting.Plus, the show has been on for so many years, that it just doesn't even appeal to anyone now. When is the last time, seriously, that you have heard anyone at work or school laughing about something on the Simpsons??????? Uhh...I don't think I've ever heard anyone reference them for my entire life, and no one has ever asked me to sit down over beers and laugh at the Simpsons. Everyone is always laughing about South Park and Family Guy, because they are actually hilarious and outrageous. None of the Simpsons creator's shows are that funny, in reality. I think he just knows the right people or sucks the right people on the casting couch. His shows are lame and mediocre, but I guess some nerds still watch it.

amarbdmi Although the quality of the show is not the same as it used to be, the early seasons are among the best that had aired on the TV across all genres, needless to say animation. It also sit comfortably in the center of the all the American made animations, when it comes to the spirit and direction of the show. Animation in my view can be roughly put into two categories, one is associated with Japanese animation, the other is associated with American animation. The difference is obvious on the surface such as style of drawing, but a more subtle yet more important difference is the theme. The Japanese animation tend to be fantasy based and try its best to distant itself from reality, this phenomena rooted in otaku culture, which means the viewers are sick and tired of reality to some degree and just want watch something that is not here not now. While the American animation basically is no different from any real world TV series in themes and story telling, but because the drawing dose not amount to the real thing, this bring a great advantage. Namely a more loosely and more ambiguously defined world can be used to justify much more ridiculousness and randomness in the plot, and because the viewer don't usually associated a poorly drew face to a real person, this can be used to justified the character's more complex behavior and a more flexible personality. This makes the American animation perfectly suitable for portraying society in a certain way, or be critical of something in the pop culture. And basically this is what American animation does, it is used as a self-reflection tool or a way of express certain thoughts on society or life by the writers. Generally I think animation does a better job than the real world TV shows with few exceptions such as "black mirror".Simpsons is among the best in this regard and is very moderate in the theme of the story. Some shows tend to reflect on personal growth and development, such as "Bojack horseman", some show would discuss personal philosophy on a more grand scale, such as "rick and morty". Other shows offers critical view of society such as "South park". Simpsons simply does all at the same time, it's critical to society today but not as sharp as "South park", it has a underlining tone of "no matter what we do the society won't change much", so in its story telling it just paint the whole picture without providing the cause nor the solution, in "South park" the cause part is at least provided. On the side of personal philosophy, the starting point of discussion in Simpsons is the relationship between individual and the group whether it's family or the whole society, discussion that focus on personal development is also presented but overall it's not a major topic. Shows like "Bojack horseman" or "rick and morty" emphasize more on the topic of a abstract person in a abstract environment, the relationship between self and others are somewhat secondary. In other words you can basically start with Simpsons and apply minor change to it and you can get most of the American show with few exception such as "Adventure time" which is a fantasy. In no way I'm saying that all the shows are originate from Simpsons, it just happens that Simpsons just sit in the middle of basically everything, and has this "All in one" characteristic. You could say it does everything well but is not the best in any given area, to some extend it's true, but bear in mind that none of the creators has this idea of "do all the things at the same time" when they start the show, to end up with Simpson, it took true genius, but when you see all the writers that had been working on the show, especially the early season, it won't be a surprise.
