Product Description

From the Author
Thank you for the positive feedback.
I'm heartened, as the editor of this book, that the reading public can appreciate a book with very small type but very large ambitions. The support on amazon.com and the site's many subscribers and users has helped push this book quickly into the stratosphere. It was a blast to put together, and the feedback has made it all worthwhile.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Simpsons Book Rules!!, 31 Oct 2004
This review is from: The "Simpsons": The Complete Guide to Your Favorite Family (Hardcover)
This book has all the information there is for every single episode of the entire first 8 series. Although it covers hundreds of episodes of our favourite family, each episode is completely covered, including telling the plot, parts of the scripts, quotes from characters and things you almost certainly would have missed. It is amazing to see how many things they put in those shows without anyone realising!! Definetly one of the best books i have read.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Simpsons by Matt Groening, 18 Oct 2002
This review is from: The "Simpsons": The Complete Guide to Your Favorite Family (Hardcover)
I'm 54 and I think this is the best book ever. My son was given this accumulation of script extracts for Christmas some time ago. Unlike most TV spin-offs this is a nugget of 100% pure gold. Reading it reveals why The Simpsons is the greatest TV show in recent times. (I'm not counting Seargent Bilko as recent) Much of the script is made funny by the cartoon characters' delivery rather than the words. Much of it is cutting insight rather than humour - like the dentist's warning about ending up with an 'English smile' to the lad who didn't want his teeth treated.
All families should have this book

5.0 out of 5 stars This Book is the greatest!, 15 April 2001
By A Customer
In the words of Homer: Fan-fugu-tastic, this book doesn't just have episode guides, it has every thing you want right down to the last detail. For example it has a character profile for every Simpsons character imaginable even barts old girlfriend that he had who was Laura Powers for you non-hardcore fans, some Simpsons fans it has too many pictures to fill up the blank gaps but if you took away the pictures you would lose part of the enjoyment of looking at it. If you are going to buy a book of this type you should buy the official one NOT the unofficial one, although the unofficial book is good (what simpsons merchandise isn't)it doesn't have the fun of a real Simpsons book. Give the author (not Matt Groening) some credit by buying his book!
