The Simpsons has been one of my favorite shows for twenty years. I love having background information on the show and cast listings, music tracks, and more. My favorite sections for each episode are the "things you might have missed" which cover little known facts and witty tidbits that are hard to spot when watching the show. If you're a fan of the show, you will enjoy this collection. (  ) camarie | Aug 4, 2009 |  Awesome re-cap of some of the best lines and plot moments from the first few seasons. Just fun to look at all colorful illustrations of everyone's favorite Springfield characters. I LOVED this book when it came out, before any of the season's were released on DVD and the show was aired 3x a day on repeats on Fox. But still a great catalog of the best show in history. (  ) HvyMetalMG | Aug 22, 2007 | Actually a really funny book. A well done episodic catalog simpsons fans will enjoy. (  ) teamferrara | Mar 14, 2007 | A Christmas gift from my mom a few years back (2001, I think). I love The Simpsons. superlibrarian | Jan 2, 2007 |  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com (ISBN 0060952520, Paperback)Nearly a decade into their run, it's clear that The Simpsons is one of the best-loved and most influential television shows to come down the pike in a long while. If the show's attitude was a little less pervasive, this encyclopedic book would be aimed solely at Simpsons addicts. But that's not entirely true--Matt Groening and Ray Richmond have created a book that is essential for anyone interested in where TV is today. That's not to suggest that the book is serious, though--it's not. The Simpsons: A Complete Guide to Our Favorite Family (that's debatable, but who cares?) is a collection of everything related to the show, from all the "couch gags" during the end of the opening credits, to the complete words to the theme song from The Itchy and Scratchy Show. There are broadcast dates, credits, and hidden jokes for every episode. You'll even find a list of things that make Homer go "Mmm..."If you're a fan of the show, you'll be hard-pressed to find fault with Ray Richmond's collection. The only glaring one is that the stills often look a little blurry. Oh, and couldn't they have come up with a funnier title? But that's nitpicking. Simpsons fans, you know what to do.
