The Simpsons season 19
The nineteenth season of the American animated sitcom The Simpsons aired on Fox between September 23, 2007 and May 18, 2008. It was the final complete season to be broadcast in 4:3 and in standard definition, although the first nine episodes of the twentieth season, which were holdover episodes of the nineteenth season, would also retain this standard. Al Jean served as the showrunner, a position he has held since the thirteenth season, while the season was produced by Gracie Films and 20th Century Fox Television.
The episode "Eternal Moonshine of the Simpson Mind" won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program. Work from this season was nominated for another Emmy Award, was nominated for four Writers Guild of America Awards, winning one, and was nominated for one Annie Award.
Guest stars for the season included Jon Stewart, Jack Black, Lionel Richie, Stephen Colbert, Steve Buscemi, Maya Rudolph, Dan Rather, Placido Domingo, Matt Dillon, Kelsey Grammer, David Hyde Pierce, John Mahoney, Kurt Loder, "Weird Al" Yankovic, Keith Olbermann, Beverly D'Angelo, and Topher Grace.
This is the second of two seasons ordered in March 2006. The nineteenth season of The Simpsons is the first one produced after the movie and contained seven hold-over episodes from season 18's JABF production line. Al Jean served as showrunner, a position he has held since the thirteenth season, while the season was produced by Gracie Films and 20th Century Fox Television.
Army Archerd reported that due to the 100-day Writers Guild of America strike only 22 episodes would be produced instead of the planned 23, which is much closer to the length of a regular season than most live-action and animated programs that were also affected by the strike. Entertainment Weekly also reported that, at the time, there were only six episodes remaining that were ready, which would make the season's production run consist of a total of 22 episodes.
The nineteenth season featured the returns of several characters from previous seasons. Kelsey Grammer made his tenth appearance as Sideshow Bob, and David Hyde Pierce made his second as Bob's brother Cecil Terwilliger in "Funeral for a Fiend". Beverly D'Angelo made her second appearance as Lurleen Lumpkin, who first appeared in season three's "Colonel Homer". Glenn Close returned as Grandma Mona Simpson for the third time.
Matt Groening described this season as "just about our most ambitious yet".
Robert Canning of IGN gave the series a 6.6 saying that it was "Passable" and that "Heck, read through the comments section at the bottom of our IGN Simpsons reviews and more than half will in some way be talking about the poor quality of recent episodes. (And "poor quality" is putting it politely.)" although he praised the late episodes of the season.
