EVERY. SIMPSONS. EVER. (PART 2!)

FXX TO AIR LONGEST RUNNING MARATHON IN TV HISTORY

600 EPISODES. 300 HOURS. 13 DAYS.

Marathon Begins at 12:00 PM ET on Thanksgiving Day, November 24th and
Concludes at Midnight ET on December 6th

FOX TO DEBUT ALL-NEW SEASON 28 PREMIERE OF THE SIMPSONS THIS SUNDAY,
SEPTEMBER 25 AT 8:00 PM E/P

Emmy Award(R)-Winning Multi-Hyphenate Amy Schumer Guest-Voices on the
FOX Season Premiere

LOS ANGELES, September 22, 2016 - America's holiday season kicks off
on Thanksgiving Day with the longest marathon in television history:
FXX's 600 episodes, 300 hour, 13-day run of every episode of TV's
longest running hit series, The Simpsons. The 27-season marathon
begins at 12:00 PM ET on Thursday, November 24th and ends on
Wednesday, December 6th at midnight ET - all 600 episodes airing in chronological order over those 13 days.

The upcoming Simpsons marathon will become the longest-running
marathon in television history, surpassing the previous record holder,
FXX's 552-episode, 12-day Simpsons marathon, which ran from August 21,
2014 at 10 AM to September 1 at midnight. That marathon propelled the
nascent FXX to cable's #1-ranked network primetime in Adults 18-49 and
Adults 18-34 for 12 consecutive days.

FX Networks President and COO Chuck Saftler said, "The first 'Every.
Simpsons. Ever.' Marathon was truly so special and landmark in its
cultural relevance and impact. The unprecedented feat of reaching 600
episodes deserves something of that caliber to mark it and celebrate
it. Doing this is an act of true fandom, honoring Jim Brooks, Matt
Groening, Al Jean, all the writers, artists, directors, people behind
the scenes and the ridiculously talented voice actors who have brought
this series to life and kept it at the pinnacle of artistic excellence
these past 27+ seasons."

FOX will debut the show's record 28th season this Sunday, September
25th at 8:00 PM ET/PT, with the premiere episode featuring Amy Schumer
as the featured guest-voice. In the episode, when Springfield is
burned to the ground, the Simpsons beg Mr. Burns to fund its
rebuilding. Burns agrees - with one condition: he gets to put on a
variety show at the Springfield Bowl, on the all-new "Monty Burns'
Fleeing Circus."

FXX is the cable network home for all seasons of The Simpsons,
excluding seasons airing in their first run on FOX. FX Networks' app,
FXNOW, is the exclusive non-linear home for all seasons of The
Simpsons, excluding seasons airing in their first run on FOX.

FXX's "Simpsons World" is the ultimate Simpsons digital experience
featuring enriched branded content through SimpsonsWorld.com and handheld/connected devices via FXNOW, the authenticated multi-network
on-demand video service supporting FX, FXX and FXM.

Likewise. Why should I pay for cable every month whether I watch it
or not when I can pay for a set of DVDs just once and have them for
a lifetime?

I'm old enough to remember when the selling point of cable was that
there would be no commercials. From what little I've seen of cable,
it has just as many commercials as free over-the-air broadcast TV.
And since 600 episodes take 300 hours rather than 200, that's
certainly the case with FFX.

I also remember when commercials took six minutes of every hour. Now
they take about twenty minutes.

Do they plan to resume producing DVDs after the whole series is over?
Even if only by underhandedly offering them only as a package deal --
pay for *all* the episodes even if you already have most of them?

IMO, there should be immunity from copyright infringement, where the
producers of a show refuse to make it available to legally purchase...

That makes no sense. Should a car manufacturer that builds a concept
car then be forced to build it because some arse-clown wants to buy
one?

I think you'd want to ask Homer that.

He's being punished, told to write the same line 1000 times.

Are you familiar with the term 'reductio ad absurdum'? If not, I suggest
you look it up.

I'm familiar with the concept of 'naughtius maximus'. Does that count?
