Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Viewers who acknowledge The Simpsons as one of the best shows ever to hit television are doubtless already proud owners of The Simpsons: A Complete Guide to Our Favorite Family. But since the show is still in production, that guide is no longer complete. And can you really live a second longer without a full list of last season's blackboard inscriptions? Simpsons creator Matt Groening and editor Scott M. Gimple come to the rescue with The Simpsons Forever! A Complete Guide to Our Favorite Family--Continued. It's a complete listing of all the episodes of the ninth and tenth seasons, including screen shots, dialogue highlights (Moe, packing for Hawaii: "Ukulele, pineapples, beach pistol, scandalously revealing thong...") and "Stuff You May Have Missed" such as the fact that the motto of In 'n' Out Ear Piercing is "If It Dangles, We'll Punch a Hole in It". There are also brief bios of guest characters (Señor Ding Dong hates Chevy vans) song lyrics (Marge and Homer's version of "Those Were the Days") and a fond-without-being-icky tribute to Troy McClure. The truly obsessed will welcome the lists: every couch gag of the past two seasons, which actors do which voices, and every single time Homer has said "D'Oh!" for the past two years. The Simpsons Forever does a terrific job of catching the humour and spirit of a truly great show. --Ali Davis, Amazon.com

Format:Paperback
'The Simpsons Forever' is the second book to give you a guide to every episode. The first guide was 'A Complete Guide To Our Favourite Family'.
'The Simpsons Forever' gives you a brief summary of each epsiode, several of the funniest quotes and also points out the little jokes you may have missed.
Every detail you could ever want to know about any episode is included, such as the date it was first aired on TV or who the director and writer for that episode were.
On every page there is also a small section devoted to a charcter. Every character who has ever appeared is there, and its tells you facts about them such as who did the voice for them or their likes and dislikes.
This really is a must for any devoted Simpsons fan as you can also learn the lirics to many Simpsons songs.
If you like the Simpsons then you will like this book.

Format:Paperback
the first simpsons episode guide tells you about the very first episode to the present. so far there have been a lot more new episodes so this book keeps it upto date. the new episodes are a bit confusing and you'll have to be brain to understand. this book tells you the funniest jokes , quotes , actions and stuff you may have missed. they tell you about the episode to. every few pages , there are a double page of " when homer says DOH " or " a tribute to troy mclure " on every page , it give bio on each and every character.

Format:Paperback
Some people say this should have just been added to book one. But that would have been a waste of money for the peeps with book one. Also, about the other major complaint-so they should have ANOTHER book out already? I think a book every two seasons is just fine for me.

Very good but not as good as the first.
I got this for Christmas as I am a major Simpsons fan. It was much shorter than the first book but it was still enjoyable. Good read though!
