Authoritative voices speaking from various well-informed critical
perspectives provide Leaving Springfield with rewards for scholars
and Simpsons fans alike. Framed more coherently than most
collections of television criticism, this volume makes a persuasive
case for the series as an act of cultural resistance. Accessible
language and detailed textual analysis lend the volume strong
student appeal. Devotees will appreciate the close scrutiny of key
episodes and intimate knowledge of the series that characterize
these essays.--Caren Deming "University of Arizona"
The book takes a scholarly yet humorous look at how The Simpsons
can remain so popular and yet be countercultural at the same
time.-- "Chicago Tribune"
