Every Simpsons Episode Ever

As one of the longest-running and most prolific shows in history, The Simpsons hasn’t just stood the test of time: it’s become an inextricable piece of the very pop culture it mocks.

Additionally, everyone knows the show: its iconic couch gags, and one of the greatest cartoons from the 80’s.

Despite criticisms, fans can’t get enough of their favorite dysfunctional family.  Since its debut on December 17, 1989, The Simpsons has broadcasted a total of 697 episodes across 32 seasons.

Additionally, the creators have done multiple crossover episodes such as Bob’s Burgers and Family Guy, released a major motion picture, and produced a myriad of shorts—both before and during the show’s run.

Season 3

Some beloved episodes from The Simpsons’ third season include “I Married Marge,” “Colonel Homer,” and “Bart’s Friend Falls in Love.”

And, fun fact: you can order a Flaming Moe at Universal Studios. However, its recipe—consisting of orange soda and dry ice—is about as far from Homer’s original cough syrup-based one as you can get.

Notable guest stars from this season include Neil Patrick Harris, Magic Johnson, Aerosmith, Darryl Strawberry, and many others.

Additionally, Michael Jackson guest stars in the first episode of The Simpsons‘ third season.

Jackson used a soundalike for his singing parts due to contractual obligations, and to try and trick his brothers. He requested to go uncredited for his speaking roles.

Prior to this appearance, Jackson co-wrote “Do the Bartman” (1990).

Before agreeing to guest star in the episode, “Lisa the Vegetarian,” Paul McCartney stipulated to Simpsons writers that the change be permanent, rather than Lisa’s vegetarianism being undone or discarded for the status quo.

In “E-I-E-I-(ANNOYED GRUNT),” when Homer literally goes slap-happy with a dueling glove, a song called “Glove Slap” plays during a montage. This parody of “Love Shack” is performed by its original performers, The B-52’s.

“Brick Like Me” took two years to make, which is over twice the amount of time needed for a regular Simpsons episode.

Discussions began long before that, however, when Lego wanted to create a set of the Simpsons’ home. The premiere coincided with promotions for The Lego Movie.

Notable guest stars include Judd Apatow, Eva Longoria, Kristen Wiig, Rachel Maddow, Anderson Cooper, Channing Tatum, and John Oliver.

Season 27

In Season 27, Lisa takes a coding class and creates a sentient app, Bart undergoes precocious puberty and develops a crush on his substitute teacher, and a flashback episode features the Simpsons’ vacation to the Grand Canyon with the Flanders clan.

Notable guest stars include Adam Driver, Lena Dunham, Edward James Olmos, Yo-Yo Ma, Nick Kroll, Kaitlin Olson.

In “Halloween of Horror,” temp workers—fired from their pop-up Halloween store, courtesy of Homer—invade the Simpsons home, then stalk Homer and Lisa.

This is the first Halloween episode of The Simpsons that isn’t a Treehouse of Horror episode. Instead, its events are assumed canon, and take place in the actual timeline and universe of the main series.

Season 28

In Season 28, the Simpsons move to Boston, revisit Kamp Krusty, and contend with feral canines when Springfield becomes the most dog-friendly city in America.

Notable guest stars include Amy Schumer as Mr. Burns’ mother, Sarah Silverman as Lisa’s recurring imaginary friend Rachel, and Seth Green in a Robot Chicken-style couch gag.

In “The Great Phatsby,” a rare two-part Simpsons episode, Mr. Burns befriends—then, is swindled by—a hip hop icon against the backdrop of the previously unmentioned Springfield Hamptons. This music-centric episode features big names in the industry, like Common, Snoop Dogg, and RZA.

Another important milestone from this season is “Treehouse of Horror XXVII,” which is the series 600th episode.

Notable guest stars from this season include Alison Bechdel, Marjane Satrapi (author of Persepolis), Martin Short, Neil Gaiman, Shaquille O’Neal, Cecily Strong, and Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews.

“The Serfsons” is an alternate universe episode, in which the Simpsons are serfs.  Additionally, Springfield is a feudal-era village.  The family struggles to afford a magical amulet, which can stop Marge’s mother from turning into ice.

Unlike “Brick Like Me,” where it’s revealed the Lego universe is essentially a dream, no explanation is provided for the context of “The Serfsons.”

Shorts

Before the Simpsons had their own Primetime limelight, they were featured in shorts on The Tracey Ullman Show.

Character designs were crude, even compared to The Simpsons pilot episode.  Still, the heart and fun of the main series were evident from the very beginning.

The Simpsons Movie

The family’s first big-screen premiere in 2007 was long overdue to the series’ devoted fans, and boosted the franchise more than expected.

With over a decade passing since its release, however, the promise of a sequel or second, unrelated movie seemed farfetched—until Disney acquired the show’s rights.

Creator Matt Groening says there’s “no doubt” another Simpsons movie will hit theaters “one of these days”…or, at the very least, the Disney+ platform.

The Simpsons Guy

This crossover episode between The Simpsons and Family Guy sees the Griffins getting stranded in Springfield.

Peter and Homer become great friends…only to devolve into enemies, once it’s revealed that Pawtucket Patriot Ale is really just Duff with a different label.

“The Simpsons Guy” is considered part of the Family Guy series, and is therefore not included in The Simpsons official episode guides.

All good things must come to an end—but it’s nearly impossible to imagine a world without The Simpsons.

With the series now syndicated on FXX and streaming on the Disney+ platform, new fans and old ones alike can binge every Simpsons episode to their hearts’ content.

Well…almost every episode.
