Does anyone else find the excessive amount of Simpsons eps. on FXX a little annoying or maybe just overkill?

First there was the marathon. Okay, that was fine, but now it's 4 hours during primetime. They seriously can't find anything else? Seems like overkill to me.

ratings say otherwise. People like the old episodes.

I love the simpsons! Probably should have put that in the OP. But I thought the channel would have more original content or at least movies.

And to the point about DVRing, couldn't you do that if it played midday for 4 hours?

the problem is there was no need for the channel

all they are doing is killing the comedy series that should be airing on FX.

I usually don't... This isn't tRant. Not everything is a complaint that warrants that type of response. We can discuss things normally here, lefty.

I think it's great. When there is nothing else on I can put it on FXX and watch The Simpsons

It's weird watching the first few seasons. The animation looked so different. I first started watching around season 5 as a kid.

Yeah, FXX was much better back in the 90's.

There's only so many times they can show Thor a week.

I'm with you. Its on constantly, I don't understand why channels will do that. They show something so much that it gets run into the ground. Comedy Central airs South Park reruns all the time, and they only show the really old episodes.

Totally get it, but Homer Loves Flanders is on at midnight. This does feel a little like when scyfy lured me in with Taken, then promptly went dogbarf.

Regardless, I'm in for a 94 classic.

I don't think it was originally their intention but the marathon got such great response and ratings compared to what FXX normally gets.
