This website is fairly good for watching the simpsons episodes and the movies, but most of their pages take a long time to load and they have a lot of annoying popup ads.
simpsonera.com
So far this site hasn’t been terrible, it does not include the episode descriptions or pictures (but the pictures aren’t really necessary), but every page loads quickly, there aren’t any ads, and the website is quick and clean. However, this website doesn’t contain all of the chat rooms and what not, it is strictly for people who want to watch the episodes easily without having to jump through hoops.

This website has been well recommended by many, but almost all of their links don’t work, they have tons of annoying ads, and their pages load slowly.
simpsonsepisodes.com
This website is difficult to gauge because for some episodes there are five different video player choices and for others there is only one. However, not all of the links to their own webpages work and on every episode page you have to turn off the chat system noise, which is automatic, and you have to deal with the ads and the surveys they force you to take from time to time.

There is no question that this is the worst website for watching any television show because of all the redirects you have to travel through to watch each episode. You can easily spend ten to fifteen minutes trying to go through their system and load one episode. There are so many ads as well. Whatever you do, avoid this website entirely.
Simpsoncrazy.com
This website is probably one of the only websites that contains all the other information besides the Simpsons episodes. They have some scripts, character profiles, shorts, pictures, and much more. However, this website has virtually no competition in its field, which is why it is the best.
Thesimpsons.com
This is the official Simpsons website owned by Fox, and the graphics are very impressive, but ultimately the website contains almost none of the episodes and it takes a long time to go anywhere on the website.
Conclusion:Overall, I would have to say that the best websites for watching the simpsons television series are simpsonera.com and simpsonsepisodes.com. All the other website are overrun with annoying video ads and so many redirects that by the time you reach the episode you want to see you are ready to drop down on Dr. Death’s table and let him have at you. Each of these Simpsons websites took a great deal of work, there is no question of that, but almost all of these websites sold their souls for the money they received from putting annoying ads on their websites. Only a select few have been courteous enough to leave their websites just as they are in order to serve the public needs better. So, I suppose all I can say is that if you ever make a website don’t be a sell out, unless you are opening an ad agency.
