Yeah she's a youngin... I told her they show reruns on other channels & she could watch the ones I have I the DVR so she'll be okay when she comes back over. I'm trying my best to be sure she doesn't turn out for the worst like a lot of kids her age. I'm okay with her watching this cause I know what's coming for the most part.

That was a dope ride, haven't really kept up since probably 2002. It was cool to see all the classics again for old times sake, n also seeing episodes I'd never seen. Besides Ned and Crabbable gettin married, was there any other significant things that I missed?? Like any deaths?? Didn't really see anything new from the episodes I saw.
To groening and crew

My little girl is going to be 2, and was watching all these past 12 days.. Just screaming out "Simpsons! Simpsons!"

The saga continues...

The DeBarted is a new classic however

That's the only new ep I've seen since 05.

i hope you had her watching them first 5 days

Enjoyed the whole thing. Even when I had to leave the house I had the DVR working overtime for the recent seasons even tho I've seen them all. Just didn't want to feel like I was missing something. Watching them all back to back it's made me realize that the show is still good and has moments of greatness. It's just not the pinnacle of tv like it used to be but every once in a while you get an episode like the bank job or the debarted or the Lego episode and it's heads and shoulders above anything else on tv. Glad FXX is going to continue running Simpson block parties....just hope it doesn't turn out like Kansas City

I stopped recognizing episodes once they started showing season 14, i didnt realize there was so many good episodes in the later seasons. Its not great the whole season throught like it used to be, but still entertaining.

For all the talk about how the Simpsons isn't great anymore and no longer a pop culture thing it sure did pay off for FXX

The Simpsons’ Marathon Lifts Ratings for Fledgling FXX Network

A quarter-century ago, the animated comedy “The Simpsons” put the fledgling Fox network on the map as the fourth broadcast network. Now, with a much-promoted marathon of all 552 episodes that ended Monday, “The Simpsons” has repeated that feat, lifting a year-old cable channel called FXX to the top ranks of the 105 cable networks measured by the Nielsen Company.

The 12-day, round-the-clock marathon, which also included the two-hour 2007 theatrical movie, produced ratings about three times as high as executives at the channel expected. It enabled FXX to finish as the highest-rated network in all of cable television among the audience most desired by advertisers — viewers between the ages of 18 and 49 — three nights out of 12. For its full run, the audience for the marathon had a median age of 28, one of the youngest in the television business.

Beyond validating “The Simpsons” as a cultural phenomenon almost without parallel in television history, the marathon will create another significant result, said John Landgraf, the chief executive of FX networks. “We are talking about a radical transformation of asset value,” he said.

“The Simpsons” to Crossover With… “The Simpsons”

Season 26 of The Simpsons is chock-full of surprises, with the anticipated Family Guy crossover episode set to air, a Futurama crossover in the works, a Bob’s Burgercameo, and even the death of a main character slated for the season premiere. Now to add to the list of insane Simpsons surprises, this season’s “Treehouse of Horror” episode we will see America’s beloved family crossover with an older version of itself from The Tracey Ullman Show.

Here’s the premise according to Entertainment Weekly:

Airing Oct. 19 on Fox, the annual “Treehouse of Horror” Halloween episode contains a segment that parodies The Others, in which the Simpsons are haunted by another ghostly family living in the house. These ghosts turn out to be none other than their crudely drawn former selves.

This is promising news for the Season 26 and it seems like a unique enough idea for a “Treehouse of Horror” plot. Thankfully, it also doesn’t sound extremely gimmicky. To refresh your memory of how The Simpsons initially appeared in The Tracey Ullman Show, here’s a short clip of what the fam used to look and sound like. This upcoming episode definitely could turn spooky.
