Si bien tiene ideas interesantes, algunos de los mini ensayos son repetitivos. Creo que hay ciertas ideas filosóficas que se pueden explicar se forma muy sencilla y directa, con menos rodeos.

Enjoyable at times, tedious at others. Some of the essayists were barely able to work in more of than a few lines about The Simpsons, limply connecting it to ideas from a pet philosopher, and these essays, no matter how much they had to teach about philosophy, were mostly unentertaining, totally missing the point of the book. Other essays applied a specific philosophical lens to the show and were much more successful at both teaching and entertaining

I really enjoyed these series of essays on philosophy with the Simpsons as the starting point. My favorite essay has to be the one comparing Nietze to Bart. I was actually laughing while reading the essay!
