The Simpsons Marathon on FXX

FXX has been taking advantage of one of the strongest and most popular shows on television by showing every Simpsons episode...ever. With the Simpsons marathon nearing an end, I thought I would just write a few things that I enjoyed watching and reminiscing.

Why I enjoyed The Simpsons Marathon:

1. The humor - It has been so much fun to re-watch a cartoon with such clever humor and well-timed gags.
2. The family - The way the Simpsons interact is great. Yes, they have struggles, but they seem to still care about one another. You can really see these strong relationships when watching them back to back.
3. The original openings - I know that some people are really obsessed with the openings, but I had forgotten most of them. When you watch them consecutively, you are able to compare them and can truly see the cleverness.
4. Homer Simpson - Yes, he is an idiot sometimes, but he does adore his family.

Well, if you missed the marathon, don't worry! It looks like FXX will continue to be the Simpson-powered channel. For now, on Mondays and Fridays, the channel will air a Simpsons block from 6 pm - midnight. Every Tuesday and Thursday will have an 8 pm - midnight block. Sundays will have the longest block with a 7-hour slot running from 4 pm - midnight. They are also planning holiday-themed marathons all throughout the year.
