Talking about what I'm reading and watching on TV.

D'oh

The 12-day "Simpsons" marathon on FXX is proving a popular winner in the household. Got to admit the commercials featured on these shows have been getting lots of views as it's easy to leave the TV on that channel and catch glimpses of the show's incredible run. Now that I'm through the nostalgia of the glorious early-to-mid 1990s, I'm catching plots, jokes and guest stars I've missed in the 'more recent' years. On for a week, the episodes are still more than 10 years old this morning. Wow, considering executive producer Al Jean's incredible, long run with the show. With 552 episodes, when they do this again (as I hope they will), it will last even longer. How long will it go?
