I'm curious to know what the ratings on FXX are right now with the Simpsons marathon versus what they'll be when they get to the not good seasons. I'm guessing it'll be a gradual decline followed by a pretty sharp drop. I could be wrong though, wouldn't surprise me if people keep tuning in because of the 100% chance of catching an episode of the Simpsons no matter what time of day it is.

Variety said that ratings tripled for the first two days.

I think you'll probably find the drop is more related to people going "gently caress yeah I'll watch this old cartoon all day every day" and after a day or two realizing "Why the gently caress am I watching an old cartoon all day every day?" regardless of how good or bad it is. People are going to eventually get sick of watching the same thing over and over nonstop.

I'd be watching it if FXX had a streaming deal with Directv customers, but if I can't mooch my mom's cable subscription gently caress it. I'm sure it's doing really well though.

I'm going to be honest, I was lukewarm on Book 3 overall, but the finale was great in all the ways the last two weren't. That epilogue was the single funniest thing I've seen on tv this year.

A 24/7 channel of just Simpsons episodes would probably pull in a higher rating than FXX ever

You're the Worst is still great. When did non-HBO shows start explicitly talking about jizz stains and sucking dick? And it's really weird seeing Avatar Korra's voice actor on the show as a tall blonde woman.

Why isn't everyone freaking out about The Honourable Woman? BBC-Sundance Channel co-production, a drama/spy thriller type show starring Maggie Gyllenhaal. Lots of Israel/Palestine stuff and just generally clever and exciting and such. The entire thing has aired in the UK and half or so over in America. Watch it.

Looks super boring like Top of the Lake and Maggie Gyllenhaal reminds me of a grandmother.

The most recent episode was great. Loved that montage/scathing indictment of the main characters being terrible people and pretty much ending with it.
