Every Simpsons Ever


Since my foot has decided to be hurt and I'm moving as little as possible, I've decided to grab a drink and blog about what may be one of the greatest things to happen in my lifetime...the Every Simpsons Ever Marathon on FXX.

I've loved The Simpsons as long as I can remember. Literally. One of my earliest memories is asking my sister if we can watch "the yellow people" on TV. I even own the first 11 seasons on DVD and one day I will have them all. I college, I wrote a paper about how great of a show The Simpsons is.

So, naturally, this marathon of every single Simpsons episode ever was right up my alley.

How has it been so far? Everything I had expected it to be. When I haven't been at work I've been watching the marathon. I can't stop. It's starting to effect my life.

Earlier today I had to get out and run some errands but finding a good break in the marathon was like finding a needle in a haystack. I kept saying to myself "after this episode" and something like three hours later I finally managed to pry myself away from the epicness to get out of the house and take care of some business.

The fact my foot is hurt is making it better. It's given me a (in my mind) a legitimate excuse to sit on the couch all day and watch this thing. I've accepted my fate.

I have no regrets.

I can't thank FXX enough for doing this. I mentioned earlier this may be one of the greatest things to happen in my life. I mean it. Seriously...how often does your favorite show of all time get displayed non-stop for 12 straight days? Incredible.

I hope this post finds you sitting in front of the TV and watching the marathon, just like me.

Good luck, and may the Force be with you.
