Seasons 9-10, Complete

The first book covers seasons 1-8. This book only covers two seasons: 9 and 10. Each episode gets a two page spread, while many of the episodes in the first book only had one page. This allows far greater detail to be covered.I keep all (currently) three books near the TV, and I'll review the pages for each episode before I watch the rerun. In doing so, it opens my eyes to a lot of the little details that I missed the first fifty times I saw the episode.Essentially, this is the owners manual for seasons 9 and 10.

Picks right up where the first book left off!

Like its predecessor, "The Simpsons Forever!" is a must have for any fan of the show. For those of you who don't own that first book, you'll want to pick it up as it is loaded with information on the first eight seasons. For those of you who do own the first book rest assured that you aren't paying for duplicate information, this book only covers seasons nine and ten."The Simpsons Forever" uses the same grid format as the first book, which makes it very easy to find that favorite quote or missed moment. Likewise, it is an equally high quality item, featuring the same beautiful color and heavy-duty paper. Finally, it has some nice extras at the end, including a tribute to Troy McClure (the late Phil Hartman) and a listing of who does what voice (which has provided some closure to the endless guessing my wife and I subject each other too!).If you are a fan of The Simpsons, you definitely want to pick this up. Whether you read it cover to cover, or just keep it handy when watching the show, it is great fun. Also, as the seasons are released on DVD, it will make for an excellent companion volume to the discs.Enjoy!

A Hot Simpsons Injection!

The Simpsons is an incredible merchandise machine. Though some people say the animated sitcom hit it's peak popularity in the early 1990's I still find the show to be utterly hilarious. It is almost surprising not to see a Simpsons "spin-off" like you do with so many other popular sitcoms. Although it is a given that those aren't animated but on the other hand those aren't usually as popular as long as The Simpsons have been.This book, is a small but excellent continuation of the previous book, "The Simpsons: A Complete Guide to Our Favorite Family." The original book contained an amazing amount of details, facts, and humorous quips that define The Simpsons. The quotes and lines they select are classic. This sequel to that book delivers the same kind of material with more characters, couch gags, and guest stars. There is even a wonderful tribute to Troy McClure, voiced by the late great Phil Hartman.If you or anyone you know enjoys The Simpsons then this book and it's predecessor are "MUST-HAVES." You learn many hilarious things that you may have missed while watching the episodes on TV. This is money well-spent!

Great Continuation

This book is an excellent continuation of The Simpsons: A Complete Guide To Our Favorite Family. The Simpsons Forever! begins exactly where its predecessor left off by covering the ninth and tenth seasons of this famous show. Each episode has a synopsis, a list of things you might have missed, and a list of some of the highlights from the episode. Included in this book is a list of the different beginning sequences of the show, a list of the times Homer says D'oh, and of course there are bios on many of the side characters that pop up on the show. There are many other things included that are too numerous to mention. Any Simpsons fanatic needs to buy this book and its predecessor for their unlimited wealth of information about the show.

The Simpsons Rule Forever!

If you like the Simpsons (at all) you will love this book, it's just as good as watching the shows and it provides a ton of extra tidbits about the show and keeps you entertained for hours.
