Simply put, Disney+ is the home of The Simpsons online now. The streaming service from the House of Mouse has the show’s exclusive rights and continues to showcase all the latest episodes as and when they become available. If you want to binge-watch all 698 episodes, this is the place to go. There’s no Disney+ free trial anymore but a month’s subscription costs just $7 for one month or $70 for a year’s subscription so it’s great value for The Simpsons fans. There’s also the Disney+ Bundle which offers access to Disney+, ESPN+, and Hulu for just $13 per month — $5 less than it would cost to subscribe to the three services individually.

Alternatively, you can watch The Simpsons online by purchasing past episodes and seasons via Amazon Prime Video. Episodes start from $2 for older episodes to the latest tales costing $3. Full seasons are priced from $12 to $37. If you’re just looking to watch a certain couple of episodes, this might work out as the better deal but bear in mind that Disney+ offers plenty more than just The Simpsons.

Whichever method you choose, both Disney+ and Amazon have chosen to exclude a season 3 episode involving Michael Jackson, due to potential controversy surrounding the star. You might also notice that the show uses a dated 4:3 aspect ratio until midway through season 20 which may bother some users. Either way, the show continues to bring a smile to the face of many viewers. Whether you’re looking for a slice of nostalgia by watching episodes from your younger days, or you want to check out the latest The Simpsons episodes, these are your best options for watching online.

Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum in 21 Jump Street.

Few performers have had the kind of success that Jonah Hill has found at such a young age. He's been a comedy star since he was basically a teenager, and he has also found success as a more dramatic actor in recent years.

Whatever version of Jonah Hill you like best, it's hard to imagine you wouldn't like at least one of the movies on this list of his very best films.
