The Simpsons (Season 2) 720p HD - (1990 Lang: English)

This is the greatest show that I have ever seen - Adult Humor and Satiric views on society.

"The Simpsons." The mere thought of these words brings a smile to my face. This show, now in its 10th season, continues to be one of the freshest and funniest shows on tv. It has often been said the worst episode of "The Simpsons" is better than anything else on tv. And what makes the "The Simpsons" so special? The characters, of course, and how they react to each other. The situations they get into from real-life problems to wild, far out stuff that you can only do in the cartoon medium.

IMDb is a wonderful thing and it gives us a place to find out about movies and tv shows we didn't know about before. If you didn't know about "The Simpsons" before, give them a half hour and they'll give you a lifetime of laughs.

The Simpsons' second season originally aired on the Fox network between October 11, 1990 and May 9, 1991, and contained 22 episodes, beginning with "Bart Gets an "F"". Another episode, "Blood Feud", aired during the summer after the official season finale. The executive producers for the second production season were Matt Groening, James L. Brooks, and Sam Simon, who had also been EPs for the previous season. The DVD box set was released on August 6, 2002 in Region 1, July 8, 2002 in Region 2 and in September, 2002 in Region 4. The episode "Homer vs. Lisa and the 8th Commandment" won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program (for Programming Less Than One Hour), and was also nominated in the "Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Comedy Series or a Special" category.

"The Simpsons" never fail to make me laugh. I have been watching for years and I still get a kick out of even the re-runs. Some people put this show down saying "It's a cartoon so it's a T.V. show" This is incredibly wrong, in fact this is one of the most adult shows on T.V. I don't think kids will get the references to "A Clockwork Orange" or "Vertigo". Not only is this show hilarious but it deals with issues that other shows won't deal with like drinking and religion. No other show shows drinking in such a bad light. So I urge you see this show, for after one episode you to will be a "Simpsonian".

Well-drawn characters, dead-on dialogue, literate allusions and a hilariously subversive perspective make this the best half-hour on television. These talented people don't make a throw-away episode. Devastatingly observant and incisive, The Simpsons says more about morality and the virtues and downfalls of American society than any of those so-called "uplifting" or "life-affirming" shows (you know, they usually involve angels). Somehow this show manages to be both high-brow and low-brow at the same time. The laughs come from all directions, and resonate for hours afterward. Like other great television shows from The Mary Tyler Moore Show to Seinfeld, the best laughs come from strong witty characterization and a skillful ensemble cast.

Though animated, the characters inhabiting Springfield seem more recognizable and alive than those in most live-action shows on television today. I suggest that the Emmys add a category, in Phil Hartman's memory, for best voice performance and award it to a different Simpson's voice artist every year. Then they can start from the beginning and go through the cast again. Hank Azaria, Harry Shearer, Nancy Cartwright (ha ha), Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner....... these people voice vibrant human life into the Springfield community each week.

I hope this show goes on forever at the same level of quality it has maintained for the past ten years. Already classic television, The Simpsons deserves to be enshrined in television history.

I love this show. Consistently Brilliant!
