Review

"Ortved's 'uncensored, unauthorized' history...is as tasty as a pink-glazed donut with sprinkles, as refreshing as a Duff beer and as piquant as a curry slushy from Kwik-E Mart."

"[T]he testimony about the [Simpsons] empire [that Matt] Groening created is contentious and mesmerizing....[Y]ou have to admire all the work that went into this unauthorized history. It's the labor of a disenchanted fan, but a smart, loving fan nonetheless."

Publisher's note

John Ortved's oral history is the first-ever look behind the scenes at the creation and day-to-day running of the television phenomenon known as The Simpsons as told by many of the people who make it.
