Rating: 5 stars
Summary: At last an authoritative guide!
Review: This book contains synapses of the episodes starting with the beginning and brief biographical sketches of all our favorite characters as well as guests to the show. It also has pages dedicated to such banter as "Homer says 'D'oh!'" where we see every instance in which--you guessed it--Homer says "D'oh!"

A must have for any major fan of the Simpsons series.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Fairly Complete Episode...
Review: The Simpsons have been a part of prime-time televison for over a decade now. This encyclopedia worthy book is basically the companion novel to the first 8 seasons of the seasonly classic. Within it, you'll find so very much information, the book pretty much lives up to its title as it is essesentially the "complete guide." Each episode is summarized, has the couch gags, the blackboard gags, Homerisms, and D'oh so much more. The book overall provides for an excellent read and is worthy of placing on your coffee table. The read is easy and provides a lot of insight into the show we all love so much. Pick up the book, because "it's the right thing to do," as a Simpsons fan, in the words of Wilfred Brimley.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very entertaining!
Review: This guide to The Simpsons is incredibly comprehensive and entertaining. Included are lists of everything from guest stars to Bart's chalk board writings. Its episode guide manages to point out things that even the most avid fan probably missed. Very amusing and fun! Be sure to buy its sequel so that you're not missing any seasons.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The official Simpsons Standard Work!
Review: This is it--exactly what you need to understand the Simpsons and the many jokes within the Smpsons. This book has everything you need to see the second layer of the humor. I am amazed at how often I refer to this book!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This book is perfect for all Simpsons fans!
Review: I have been watching "The Simpsons" as long as I could remember. I have seen every episode of "The Simpsons" and I thinks it's the best show on tv now, even the reruns. This book tells you just about everything you'd need to know about all the episodes, things you might have missed, lyrics to songs they might have sang, Bart's blackboard, a summary of the episode, some dialogue. It's very insightful. This book is REALLY great when you have the CD, "The Simpsons: Songs in the Key of Springfield" which has 39 tracks of songs sung throughout the years like music from Tony Bennet, Robert Goulet, Tito Puente, and it has songs sung by fictional characters like Lurleen Lumpkin, the whole Simpson family, Apu, Krusty, Mr. Burns, and a lot more. These are two things every "Simpsons" fan should have, so guy buy it. If I made a spelling mistake, well then, d'oh!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "Must have" guide to viewing America's favorite ... D'oh
Review: This book would be priceless for the avid "Simpsons" fan. "Simpsons: Complete Guide" has everything worth looking for in an episode and then some: Full episode descriptions, couch and blackboard gags, personality profiles of regular characters and guest stars and so much more. While "Simpsons: Complete Guide" lacks an exhaustive listing of gags, references, etc., it isn't because it's not necessary; a Simpsons' fan World Wide Web site is more appropriate for being exhaustive. What "Simpsons: Complete Guide" does do is satisfy the needs of most fans of the TV series. Beware, however, that this book only covers the first eight seasons (January 1990 through May 1997); a companion book covering seasons 9 and 10 (September 1997 through May 1999) certainly complements this book. Hopefully, a book covering seasons 11 and 12 (September 1999 through May 2001) will be published soon to update the "Simpsons" fan's library.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ATTENTION SIMPSONS FANS.
Review: This is a useful, not to mention entertaining resource for all you Simpsoniacs out there. There are plot summaries, pictures from your favorite episodes and every page contains a profile of a character. It contains hilarious dialogue from the various episodes and things that you may have missed- you'll soon be rewinding the episodes you taped to check this out. A colorful book that provides hours of reading. Keep it close to your tv set to refer to it every once in a while.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Essential Simpsons reference
Review: The essential episode guide for Simpsons fans. Every episode is described in deatil, including trivia, dialogue highlights, visual and verbal bits that you might have missed, and more.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Was going to give it 5 starts but...
Review: I would have given this book 5 starts but then I read what some other people wrote and agreed with it. This book is for the hard-core simpsons fan not some who is looking for a laugh. That fact creats somewhat of a catch-22. There is no behind the scenes info on any of the episodes so there isn't anything the hard-core fans wouldn't know so they won't like it that much. On the other hand, people who know little about the simpsons aren't impressed because it isn't funny. Simply put, it is a REAL guide. It is very informative and VERY HANDY!

Thee reason why it made 4 stars not 3 is because if I am watching an episode and I want to see some info on what it is etc. and what to look for in it, I can go to my handy old Simpsons book and look it up.

The print and pages are great and it has excellet info. It is excellent within the bounds of what you can really do with a guide, but a guide for a humorous show can never make 5 starts for me.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Simpsons EVERYTHING
Review: Wow, this book is great. It has everything you wanted to know about the Simpsons, and if you're a real Simpsons fan, you'll buy it right now. It has episode guides, character guides, and LOADS of funny jokes, pictures, and things you may have missed in the episodes.
