November 10, 2003: The first book in this series, 'The Simpsons: A Complete Guide to Our Favorite Family' epitomized the concept of a TV show companion book. Lavishly illustrated and laid out, with a perfect balance of images and info, it covered the first eight seasons of this wonderful show in vivid detail. All that went straight out the window with 'The Simpsons Forever'. This book seems like it was put together by someone who only had a vague idea what the first book looked like. The first glaring problem is that it's too short - it's under 100 pages and profiles Seasons 9 and 10, the years when 'The Simpsons' began to sink in quality under the iron thumb of Mike Scully as Executive Producer, who favored surrealist humor over satire. The next problem was that to make up for how short this book is, the editors made a whole lot more double pages than they should have (according to the first book, each season should have about four doubles). But the worst problem is the layout. Many pages look like they were thrown together in about five minutes - they have too few framegrabs, too little information, monstrous graphics to make up for the lack of information, and basically just a poorly executed design. While it is still acceptable (but only just so), all the obvious tricks they pulled to stretch the book out as long as they could still leap out at me, and I yearn for the days when the first book was the standard for the series.
