Season 2 Review:
More than a cartoon, it's TV's most intelligent comedy. [11 Oct 1990]

The funniest family ever. [11 Oct 1990]

Season 8 Review:
This is one of the sharpest, most purely pleasurable television series ever. ... What began in 1987 (as animated filler between sketches on The Tracey Ullman Show) has become one of the medium's most dependable entertainments, a cartoon that transcended cartoonishness a long time ago.

Season 4 Review:
The Simpsons has never been better. At a time when half-hour TV comedy is reaching a new level of self-referential daring — you can't fully appreciate the intricate, in-joke pleasures of great shows like NBC's Seinfeld and HBO's The Larry Sanders Show unless you've also watched a lot of really bad TV — The Simpsons continues to emphasize that there's a big world out there that television barely touches upon.

Season 1 Review:
Easily the the best, cleverest and nuttiest arrival of the 1989-90 season is The Simpsons...It's very small-scale, but perfectly conceived and executed. What we have here from creator Matt Groening is a rare confluence -- delightful writing, pictures and voices fitting like a Matisse. [12 Jan 1990, p.F1]

Season 2 Review:
The Simpsons hasn't lost an ounce of vinegar or chutzpah. [11 Oct 1990]

Season 2 Review:
As full of wit and mischief as it was last year. [11 Oct 1990]

Season 1 Review:
"The Simpsons" is both a challenge and a delight. It's also that rarest of TV fauna, a cartoon show with levels of mirth for every brain and pair of eyes in the family. [12 Jan 1990]

Season 1 Review:
A hilarious holiday package. [15 Dec 1989, p.3D]

Season 2 Review:
This is that rare series about kids that is written by people you can envision actually having been kids. [11 Oct 1990]

Season 1 Review:
[The show] has a good deal of savvy wit.... The Simpsons, however, is strangely off-putting much of the time. The drawings are grotesque without redeeming style or charm (characters have big beady eyes, beaklike noses and spiky hair), and the animation is crude even by TV's low-grade standards.
