It works as both. One of the best things about growing up with the show is slowly picking up on the more subtle jokes that flew over you as a kid.
It's genuinely a masterpiece.

That changes across seasons 10 - 11 to become just a kids show. The show, even often the same scene / joke being aimed at both adults and kids in different ways disappears. It'll be interesting to get your view point as someone starting from scratch as an adult when you reach around this point. Kids today, many still like the new episodes, but outside those liking the crudest slapstick style humour not so many that grew up on it. And I doubt those kids will still reference stuff from seasons 12 onwards 20 years later regularly, as many 'old school' Simpsons fans still do for the golden years of Seasons 1-10.Very quickly discovered that it's not a kid's cartoon, it's an animated sitcom.

I'm jealous that you get to watch Season 5 for the first time.
If you're watching on DVD, Season 5 Disc 3 is the disc for me
You've honestly NEVER watched The Simpsons???Haha no way was I paying for the entire run. Had to pirate everything.
Just finished Season 2 last night with Blood Feud. Mr Burns is an insanely important part of the first 2 seasons, he's easily the biggest character outside of the immediate family. Does this carry through for the whole show?

Outside of the family members he has more lines than any other character on the show.

I like the way Snrub thinks.Oh man wait until you meet Snrub
Does S3E17 Homer At The Bat have any competition for greatest episode of all time? There are dozens of unbelievable and timeless episodes across the first ten or so seasons but I always thought that ep stood in a league of its own. Keen to hear some others' input.
EFAUp to Season 3 now, the John Jay Smith episode was awesome.
Last Exit To Springfield. City of New York vs Homer Simpson.Does S3E17 Homer At The Bat have any competition for greatest episode of all time?
