Mar 22, 2021 · 'The Simpsons' seems awfully off-brand for Disney, yet it's still on their streaming platform. Here is why the animated series is on Disney Plus.

Nov 26, 2019 · That, and the way it could diversify the service’s audience, is why “The Simpsons” is worth billboard space for Disney+. “Let’s say you’re a 25-year-old with no kids and you’re not ...

Lisa finds a way to channel her mental health struggles after meeting Bleeding Gums Murphy. This establishes her love of the saxophone. The best episodes of The Simpsons have heart, alongside a hearty dose of humor. The show bravely tackles depression, just six episodes into Season 1---which is why it makes our list, marginally pipping 'Round Sprin...
Bart is inspired by stunt performer, Lance Murdock, to risk jumping Springfield Gorge. Things don't go to plan, leading to a much-loved scene in which Homer accidentally attempts the jump. The Simpsons creator, Matt Groening, once named this his favorite episode of the show.
This Lisa-centric episode will resonate with anyone whose passion for learning was exacerbated by an enthusiastic tutor. Dustin Hoffman's Mr Bergstrom is sensitive and thoughtful, and the pay-off is beautiful. Several cast members (including Yeardley Smith, the voice of Lisa) have named it among their favorite episodes of all time.
Homer at the Bat stars nine Major League Baseball players, in a logistical production nightmare. It was worth it, signalling the start of a golden age. Terry Cashman tops this masterpiece off with the earworm, Talkin' Softball, which, he admits, gets more requests than his 1981 hit, Talkin' Baseball. It's also saved lives: two people who used the H...
This packs an emotional punch by testing the relationship between Marge and Homer. But there's one core reason you need to watch this episode: Maggie's parody of The Great Escape and The Birds. Jon Lovitz is superb as Llewellyn Sinclair, and Alfred Hitchcock also makes an appearance.
You're humming that song already, aren't you? Springfield has money to waste and is talked into building a completely unnecessary---and highly dangerous---monorail. Of course, Homer is employed as its conductor. But is there a chance the track could bend?
The Nuclear Power Plant goes on strike and Homer must negotiate terms with Mr Burns. Its mix of sentiment, frivolity, and wordplay makes this, perhaps, the perfect episode of The Simpsons. All together now: "Dental plan! Lisa needs braces."
It's the greatest Sideshow Bob episode: the one with the rakes. The sequence was padded out to fill airtime, and became a comedy classic, referenced in several of Bob's subsequent appearances. Let's not overlook Bob's singing the score to the HMS Pinafore, sending Bart to Heaven before sending him to Hell…
Bart becomes a self-help idol as Springfield follows his advice for a care-free life: "I do what I feel like". Bart's Inner Child is full of underappreciated gags and irreverence, like Bart bizarrely calling himself Rudiger. Homer's "tramapoline" antics kick off the episode in style.
After witnessing the destruction he causes, Mr Burns names Bart as an heir to all his fortunes (including a gift certificate for Blockbuster Video). This includes Homer's iconic line, "Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try." You can find the robotic Richard Simmons cut scene in The Simpsons' 138th Episode Spec...

May 23, 2023 · The racier content is kept in hand, but that's not what makes it family-friendly. That comes from the principled way it delivers its comedy. The Simpsons only has three TV-G episodes in the show's entire history, yet, its most kid-friendly episode is the TV-PG-rated "Lisa's Substitute."
