Reasons Why You Might Want To Watch The Simpsons Online

By Fiona Campbell


You're the first to admit it, back in college you were a huge fan of The Simpsons. Seasons five through seven were the best thing on TV at that time in your opinion. You knew all the characters, of course, could reliably do half a dozen pretty good impersonations, owned a well-loved copy of the first Simpsons guide and could be counted upon to find a Simpsons quote for any and every occasion (much to the exasperation of your girlfriend at the time). In truth, to this day D'oh, Woohoo! and Excellent are components of your everyday vocabulary and you've long given up trying to suppress them.

A few years ago you were tickled when your daughter began watching The Simpsons and enjoyed watching the episodes with her when you could. She has since moved on to other cartoons and now it's uncommon for you to sit down and watch the show anymore. Occasionally you will get a twinge to see a certain episode but it always passes. Why not treat yourself next time you get a hankering and watch The Simpsons online?

## There are so many episodes waiting for the ones you love can take a long long time.

In 22 seasons (so far) there've been close to five hundred episodes of The Simpsons but most folks only have probably about a half dozen favorites. The die hard fans enjoy a good number of episodes but even they don't like them all. Even with all the countless opportunities that cable TV affords, if you're really dying to watch a specific episode you might wait a very long time indeed.

## DVDs are so costly you can't possibly rationalize buying them.

A Season of The Simpsons is close to $30 dollars or more. You wouldn't pay that much for even your favorite seasons. To buy all 22 seasons would very likely cost you in excess of $500. Were you even to bite the bullet and pick up the complete box-set of the first twenty one seasons all at once you would still be looking at almost $300. You do like The Simpsons, once upon a time you might have even said you loved The Simpsons but let's be sensible, we are still referring to a twenty-one minute to twenty-four minute cartoon.

## Even rental is expensive when it all is said and done.

You have rented Simpsons DVDs a disc at a time from your local video store from time to time but even that is expensive over time. Not to mention that the discs are often scratched to hell and you usually only ever want to see at most two or three of the episodes on any given disc.

## Sometimes you merely want to see one scene from a particular episode

Sometimes it just hits you that you want to see a specific episode, or even a specific scene from a particular episode. It's a passing fancy but one you would indulge if your could.

These are just some of the many reasons why so many people watch the Simpsons online these days. It's so easy. Simply go online and Google "Watch The Simpsons Online" and you are sure to find a variety of free sites.

Maybe you want to watch full episodes of the Simpsons on your lunch hour. Maybe you've never watched The Simpsons without commercials. Maybe you are simply dying to hear the Stonecutter song again or see a certain story from one of the Treehouse of Horror episodes. If you stopped watching The Simpsons years ago you can catch up on what's happened with your favourite characters. You can even stream the Simpsons movie straight to your laptop if you missed it in the theatre.
