‘Simpsons’ shatters FXX ratings record by showing ‘Every. Episode. Ever.’
Doh! “The Simpsons” premiered on FXX last month and blew tv ratings higher than Marge’s hairdo.
According to Rolling Stone, the cable network launched nostalgic audiences back into Homer’s blue and yellow world in a 12-day, 552 episode tv marathon — and people loved it.
“The 12-day marathon dedicated entirely to the animated family helped catapult FXX near the top of the Nielsen cable ratings,” Rolling Stone reports.
Need to catch up? The network is scheduled to continue the mad marathon this fall, 24 hours every week, including six-hour blocks on Mondays and Fridays.
