The Simpsons 20th Anniversary Special: In 3-D! On Ice!
Overview:
I stand behind no one in my love and admiration of The Simpsons, which I believe, beyond the shadow of a doubt, to be the best show in the history of television. And while I frequently bicker about how it jumped the proverbial shark long ago, the laughs and endless re-watchability of its early years more than cancels out any hostility I may feel towards a current batch of inferior episodes.
Last night, to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the landmark series, Fox celebrated its greatness with “The Simpsons 20th Anniversary Special: In 3-D! On Ice!,” a thoroughly entertaining and surprisingly in-depth hour-long documentary, made by Morgan Spurlock of Super Size Me fame, which proved to be a fitting celebration of comedy’s greatest accomplishment.

The Top Five Simpson’s “Treehouse Of Horror” Segments
Anyone who knows me knows that since it first aired on The Tracey Ullman Show in 1987, I’ve found The Simpsons to be the greatest thing since sliced bread (sliced bread having been invented the previous winter). While the show has been average or worse for over a decade now, it still ranks as the greatest television program of all time in my eyes due to its flawless golden years.
Since Season Two, a Simpsonian staple has been its yearly Halloween episode entitled “Treehouse of Horror”, which features three short holiday themed segments. Well we here at Everyview have began doing various Halloween lists and I, ever the conformist, have decided to compile my top five favorite THOH segments of all-time.
After watching all episodes from up until I stopped buying the show’s DVD sets (post-season nine), compiling a list of 14 possible candidates whose potential chances ranged from “long shot” to “sure thing” and compiling three pages of notes (welcome to my Friday night, everyone), I have made my list of what I feel are the five most deserving segments. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Continue reading
[Book Review] Planet Simpson by Chris Turner
Overview:
A few weeks ago I decided to quit writing for this site for the simple reason that nobody reads my reviews. After awhile, the idea of continuing to add to the vapid wasteland that is my Everyview archive just seemed exhaustive and pointless.
Well, to combat my resignation, my fearless leader (and high school sophomore) of a site administrator, bribed me with a book entitled Planet Simpson: How A Cartoon Masterpiece Defined A Generation, chronicling the social impact The Simpsons, my favorite TV show, has had on the world. It’s moments like this that define character, and what is now clear about me is this: buy me a book you find used for $5 at Big Lots, and I will essentially do whatever the fuck you ask of me, including writing a review for a five-year-old book that holds no relevance (the review, not the book) anymore. But as I already alluded to, who’s gonna read it?
Well, I guess I can now declare my brief (and unnoticed) hiatus over, as I feel compelled to share my feelings of this fascinating read. So in the words of former President Ike Eisenhower: “Let’s get biz-zay!” Continue reading
Web Review: Eyeonspringfield
Overview:
Remember the wondrous time in the mid-90’s when “The Simpsons” almost single-handedly made life worth living? When it was so side-splittingly and effortlessly funny that it not only proved to be one of the great treasures in the history of entertainment, but the history of the world? Before it stayed on so long that it just became a bastardized and, at times even a depressing shell of its former self? Well, whether you do or not, you should. And if you do, there is a glorious website that celebrates the heyday of what once was the greatest accomplishment in the history of television.
