Remember when The Simpsons was the funniest show on television?
The Simpsons is the longest running comedy in history. Gracing our
screens since 1989, with over 600 episodes, the show is a cultural
phenomenon. Whilst it is still drawing huge ratings numbers, there is no
argument that during the 90s the show was at its zenith.
No other comedy has had as big an impact on society. The Simpsons has
influenced the way we communicate with each other. Niche quotes and
references have become the secret handshake of millions around the
world. In the course of this book, we remember the iconic characters -
Hank Scorpio and Lionel Hutz, Rex Banner and Frank Grimes - and we
dissect seminal episodes such as Cape Feare, Marge Vs the Monorail and
Who Shot Mr. Burns.
From celebrity cameos to musical moments, from hidden jokes to insane
trivia, this is the essential companion to golden age of The Simpsons.
Homer's Odyssey is a hilarious, intelligent and in-depth analysis of
the greatest show on earth.
