Great show! submitted by Drake Emmitt on August 18, 2014, 12:33pm Love this longest time running comedy!

Krusty gets busted submitted by Fishing Rainbow on August 31, 2014, 3:52pm Great episode with both Sideshow Bob and Krusty the Clown. Still isn't the best season though.

Original Short submitted by Fevvers - STAR473 on July 11, 2015, 8:04am The original short from the Tracy Ullman show, "Goodnight Simpsons" is terrrific to watch, seeing the seeds of the characters and the show itself.

Of the regular episodes included, "The Telltale Head" is great. Bart's detective work in "Krusty Gets Busted" is pretty impressive, and sets up the closer relationship between him and Krusty that continues throughout the series.
