Where to start with The Simpsons

There is no order to follow: almost nothing carries over between episodes and you can start anywhere. What people actually want to know is which part is worth their time and how much of it there is, and the answer to the second is more than eight hundred episodes. The film sits between the eighteenth season and the nineteenth and needs nothing watched first.

  1. 1
    Season 5 The Simpsons

    The middle of the stretch almost everybody names as the best, roughly the third season to the ninth. Twenty two episodes and no homework.

  2. 2
    Season 7 The Simpsons

    The other season most often put at the top, if you want a second before deciding whether to keep going.

  3. 3
    The Simpsons Movie The Simpsons Movie

    Watchable at any point. It is set after the eighteenth season and refers back to nothing you need.

  4. 4
    Season 37 The Simpsons

    The most recent complete one, if you would rather see what the show is now than what it was.

Everything you tick is saved in this browser and nowhere else. An account is the only way to put your list on another device, and the only way to get it back if this browser clears its storage. It is free and it takes an email address and a password.

Sign in on your phone, your laptop, anything, and the same list is there, kept in step as you tick. Nothing to copy, nothing to remember.

All three are about this franchise and all three are for showing, not moving. The link and the picture open SagaList with that progress displayed next to whatever the person opening it has already ticked. The code is what a friend pastes into Compare below. None of them writes anything into anybody's list.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.

Removes everything ticked here, in this browser. If you are signed in it clears on your other devices too. If you are not, there is no other copy and this cannot be undone.
