Publisher's Note
Bursting at the seams with history, tidbits, and cold, hard facts on every episode ever produced, this companion to the Emmy Award-winning series commemorate ten years of the hilarious wit that has made Simpsons mania a worldwide epidemic. Color illustrations.
It's hard to believe that the Simpsons have been around for a whole decade. When America was first introduced to this nuclear family, they were only featured in 30-second shorts on The Tracey Ullman Show. From these modest origins, they've skyrocketed in popularity, shooting up the charts to become the No.1 FOX show for kids under 17 and No. 4 for adults 18 to 34. Today, The Simpsons is the longest-running animated series of all time (dethroning The Flintstones in February 1997), and an intrinsic part of American pop culture. The Simpsons is a celebration of this family's phenomenal decade. Arranged by season, the book covers each episode of the television show, with the special episodes (the annual Halloween show, "Who Shot Mr. Burns?" and "Krusty Gets Kancelled") receiving eyeball-busting two-page spreads. In addition, special sidebars are sprinkled throughout, showing: - Simpsons firsts
- Bart's chalkboard lines
- Top Homerisms
- An Itchy & Scratchy filmography
- A Springfield timeline
- Things the audience may have missed
Highlighting the best of every show, The Simpsons is the ultimate celebration of the cartoon family that has kept America in stitches. It is the ultimate must-have for all Simpsons aficionados.
