The best kid-friendly episodes of The Simpsons.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Simpsons isn’t always suitable for children, but some of the long-running animated comedy’s best episodes are kid-friendly outings that center the show’s younger characters. The Simpsons might be a family sitcom, but that doesn’t mean that every episode of the series is free from violence, swearing, and adult humor. While The Simpsons is usually PG-rated, some of the show’s older outings include bracingly dark punchlines.

What's more, this episode of The Simpsons also has one of the catchiest musical numbers in the whole show. There are a few moments of more adult content, such as smoking and drinking being portrayed occasionally , and a moment where Mayor Quimby makes an off-hand comment about adult playing cards. However, these moments are unlikely to be picked up on by younger viewers.

This episode saw Dustin Hoffman cameo as Mr. Bergstrom, a short-lived substitute teacher who made Lisa feel a little less alone during his brief tenure. This comes to an end when the kids stage a violent uprising and, in an attempt to bribe them into silence, Krusty takes them to Tijuana. While “Homer at the Bat” marks the beginning of the Golden Age, this season 4 premiere saw The Simpsons hit its bawdier, sillier stride. There area few more adult jokes thrown in, and the scenes where the kids take over Kamp Krusty feature a small amount of violence, but it's nothing compared to the Treehouse of Horror halloween specials.

The antics of Bart, Milhouse, Martin, and Nelson make this episode endlessly re-watchable, but it is Lisa’s surprisingly sweet subplot that makes “Bart on the Road” so memorable. While the Golden Age got a lot more far-fetched, it didn’t deprive The Simpsons of the show’s heart. There's no insinuation of any adult content in the episode too, with the only violence being when Nelson Muntz slaps the driver of another car.

3 Das Bus The Simpsons Season 9, Episode 14 Close There are many great episodes of The Simpsons that parody existing movies or stories, even outside the spoof-rich Treehouse of Horror specials. One of the best of these came in season 9, and even if kids aren't aware of the source material being parodied, they're still more-or-less guaranteed to find The Simpsons' take on it hilarious.
