If the Marvel Cinematic Universe can have multiple viewing orders for their movies, so can The Simpsons<\/strong><\/em><\/a>. As of today, there have been 695 full episodes of The Simpsons<\/em>. Over the show\u2019s 31 year legacy, they have released additional media such as a movie, comic books, a variety of digital shorts, and video games like Simpsons Hit & Run<\/em><\/a>. Last year, Disney Plus added all 31 seasons of the show onto its streaming platform, making it easy for many to binge-watch their favorite animated family.<\/p>\n

Rewatching The Simpsons<\/em> can be tricky as some argue that the first few episodes aren\u2019t that great or that it\u2019s essential to first watch the\u00a0show’s\u00a0<\/em>less-accessible\u00a0<\/em>shorts which premiered on The Tracey Ullman Show<\/em>. Others would say that the show doesn\u2019t pick up until season three, and many would agree that the show has dropped in quality<\/a> after season 20. Luckily for everybody, the episodes tend to present one-off storylines and there is no essential order meaning that there’s no, strictly-speaking, “right” way to consume the show. Here are a few recommended ways to spice up a rewatch of the American classic, The Simpsons<\/em>, for both seasoned and unseasoned viewers.<\/p>\n

The Simpsons<\/em> has a variety of colorful and iconic characters; there\u2019s Homer Simpson, the dim-witted patriarch, and Marge, the stereotypical super mom and housewife. Their three children are polar-opposites; Bart is always up to no good<\/a> and pulling pranks with his partner-in-crime Milhouse, Lisa is a saxophone-playing, animal-loving middle child, and Maggie is the silent but mischievous baby. These fun and charismatic characters grow (figuratively) immensely over the show\u2019s existence, and the best way to appreciate the character development is to conduct a rewatch of character-centric episodes only.<\/p>\n

For instance, a Bart Simpson-centric rewatch would include key episodes such as, \u201cBart of Darkness” (season 6, episode 1), this classic episode spoofs the Alfred Hitchcock thriller Rear Window<\/em>: After breaking his leg from diving into a shallow pool, Bart spends his summer spying on his neighbors using his sister\u2019s telescope, and a series of weird events involving his neighbor, Ned Flanders, leads Bart to believe that Flanders is a murderer. \u201cBart Gets An F\u201d (season 2, episode 1) is another big one. In this episode, Bart finds out he might fail the fourth grade, so he recruits Springfield Elementary brainiac Martin Prince as a tutor.<\/p>\n

Other episodes include, \u201cNew Kid on the Block\u201d (season 4, episode 8), \u201cBart the Lover\u201d (season 3, episode 16), \u201cMarge\u2019s Son Poisoning\u201d (season 17, episode 5), and \u201cOh Brother, Where Bart Thou\u201d (season 21, episode 8).<\/p>\n

Character-centric lists can be easily located on Wikisimpsons and various online forums.<\/p>\n

Long series\u2019 have an expected monotony. They typically start off strong or invest in building a strong foundation, then there\u2019s the first dip. From there it continues to ebb and flow. The Simpsons<\/em> isn\u2019t an exception. However, to break the tedium when rewatching The Simpsons<\/em>, it is possible to watch the series backward, starting from the last completed season and ending with season one.<\/p>\n

The show mostly adopts a \u201cfloating timeline,\u201d the characters don\u2019t age and the moral lessons are not carried on from episode to episode. The most significant time benchmark through the series is death, which only a few minor characters suffer<\/a> through. The only set-back of this order is the oddity that comes with these characters starting out as dead, reaching the death episode, and then miraculously being alive.<\/p>\n

Like many of the Animation Domination successes, The Simpsons<\/em> has a handful of musical episodes. There is the season 22 episode, \u201cElementary School Musical\u201d which starred a few members from the Glee cast<\/a> and follows Lisa as she attends a performing arts camp. \u201cNew Kid on the Blecch\u201d (season 12, episode 14) shows Bart joining a boy band that later becomes associated with \u201cJoin the Navy\u201d propaganda. The show\u2019s well-acclaimed Evita<\/em> parody, \u201cThe President Wears Pearls\u201d (season 25, episode 3) presents an invigorating storyline about Lisa\u2019s newfound popularity after she is elected as a student body president.<\/p>\n

Other musical episodes include; \u201cSimpsoncalifragilisticexpiala(Annoyed Grunt)cious\u201d (season 8, episode 13), \u201cA Star is Torn\u201d (season 16, episode 18), and \u201cCovercraft\u201d (season 26, episode 8).<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

This one is a bit tricky. As mentioned above, the show doesn\u2019t follow a sequential timeline.\u00a0The Simpsons Movie<\/em> was released in 2007, between seasons 18 and 19. The movie doesn’t necessarily need to be watched at that time, although the “spider-pig” character has made an appearance in the later episodes. This is another foolproof way to break the monotony of a long binge-watch as the movie adopted a traditional cinematic approach; it had a big opener (a legendary Green Day performance), a soft and heartfelt climax, and a heroic ending\u2014 all without sacrificing the show\u2019s witty and satirical nature.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Over the years many A-list celebrities have frequented The Simpsons<\/em> screen. Kelsey Grammer played the recurring character Sideshow Bob, Bart\u2019s nemesis and attempted murderer, in numerous episodes. A watch-through of Sideshow Bob\u2019s crazy antics would consist of an estimated 22 episodes, including his first appearance in \u201cThe Tell-Tale Head\u201d (season 1, episode 8), and the episodes \u201cBlack Widower\u201d (season 3, episode 21) and\u00a0 \u201cBobby it\u2019s Cold Outside\u201d (season 31, episode 10).<\/p>\n

Other celebrities have made appearances as themselves in the show such as; Katy Perry in \u201cThe Fight Before Christmas\u201d (season 22, episode 8), Alex Trebek in \u201cMiracle on Evergreen Terrace\u201d (season 9, episode 10), and Stephen Hawking in \u201cThey Saved Lisa\u2019s Brain\u201d (season 10, episode 22).<\/p>\n

The Simpsons<\/em><\/strong> seasons 1-31 are available for streaming on Disney Plus.<\/a>\u00a0New episodes air Sunday nights on Fox.<\/p>\n
