{television} the simpsons; season eighteen (2006)

The Simpsons is much more than a show about the misadventures of Homer (Dan Castellaneta), Marge (Julie Kavner), Bart (Nancy Cartwright), Lisa (Yeardley Smith) and Maggie: It's also America's longest-running sitcom. During the program's 18th hysterical season, Lisa befriends the son of a mob boss; Marge turns into Ms. Fix-It; peanuts are banned at Springfield Elementary School; and Homer enters basic training.

ireviewnetflix.com rating: *** (Actually 3.5) Man, has it really been 18 years since The Simpsons first aired? I was a kid when this show first came on and now I'm starting to feel old. A very cute Sopranos-esqe season premier reinvigorated a series that was starting to wear out its welcome in my opinion. The last two seasons of the show weren't as great as previous season in my opinion, but this season brought back the greatness that is The Simpsons.
