Answers What's Probably On Your Mind, 25 October 2002
Author: BlackX from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
I saw this documentary on The Simpsons Season 1 DVD set.
While Simpsons maniacs will be disappointed as this documentary basically answers general questions(e.g. Where'd Matt get the idea for the characters? What does Matt do other than The Simpsons? You know, stuff they know by heart by now), it pleases anyone who had a question about the series. Just don't suspect they'd go into detail about single episodes. Definitely doing it's homework, it does get out the info through interviews with people you'd expect, if slightly short.

Workmanlike, unanalytical history of genius show., 6 July 2000
Author: marion bloom (hitch1899_@hotmail.com) from dublin, ireland
This belated tenth anniversary BBC tribute to the third greatest show of all time (the first episode aired Christmas 1989) is pretty much what you'd expect - interviews with the creator, producers, voice actors, celebrity guests, animators, composer etc., interspersed with illustrative clips and a narrative history that tows the conventional line. The conservative heart of this supposedly 'dysfunctional' and 'radical' show is mercifully admitted - it's as hard to take satire seriously from murdoch-employed millionaires as it to root for Thomas Crown; and the reason the film has 'adult' levels is so children can be surveilled (who wants subversion their parents enjoy?).
The programme does pinpoint the reason for the show's success - a depth of character which does not inhibit disruption when the need arises; an expressive freedom that allows expressionistic, dream, fantasy sequences run riot; a crucial mix of comic registers. Dan Castellenata is deadpan hilarious in interview, sweetly displaying the range of his genius. Not enough Monty, though. Hopefully too much evisceration won't spoil the magic of the whole.
