The Simpsons

Why not Season 1? Sure the animation is a little shoddy but the writing is still top notch.

I’ll camp too. Will be so excited to see my favourite episode going to air!

The Simpsons technically is (as in new episodes are still being produced). MASH is not unless there is some modern reboot coming that I’ve not heard of.

Ah so is Seven News going to share resources with this deal? Good cost saving measure!

Why all the speculation for 7mate?

I would’ve thought (given all the discussion about 7flix’s need for a hit show with TBBT gone) that it would be an obvious choice.

7mate is too full with other high rating regular shows + animations. I’m sure select episodes (such as new) will air on 7mate, plus occasional late night or fillers on main channel.

Depending on ratings, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Seven put a new ep on the main channel on a Thursday or something!

The show belongs on 7mate.

I’d do 6.00 nightly double eps running from Season 1-present sequentially
8.30 Thursday New Episodes (paired with Family Guy New eps at 9.00)

Okay, maybe for 7flix (as mate has sport/movies):

Friday or Saturday night themed marathons (e.g. Halloween eps, Christmas eps, Sideshow Bob eps, Overseas holiday eps, Ned Flanders eps)

Assuming the show ends soon (big assumption) I would expect the series finale to be on the main channel.

I will be angry if Seven remove the end credits on all eps, as Seven do with every program / movie.

Always love the theme at the end of each ep, plus seeing who the guests were and the stylised names during Treehouse of Horror eps.

I also try to see the production code (#DAB…) so I can read up on the episode, etc.

I’ll bet you anything they will :neutral_face:

Seven picked this up for the value they’ll get from airing the repeats. They don’t care about the fans who want to see the new episodes fast tracked. Those people already know how and where to access those.

Used to watch Family Guy regularly but couldn’t tell you if or when Seven has aired fresh episodes in the last few years. Most of us gave up playing that game yonks ago. I don’t expect the Seven programmers will treat The Simpsons any better. I daresay Seven will air the latest season at random times and on random days. They couldn’t give a rats about the fans.

Hate to break it to you but The Simpson have been part of Ten’s program line up for years.

What are you people on? The Simpsons was shown on Eleven rather than Ten. Seven’s purchase of a couple of Fox programs for their multichannels has zero effect on Ten’s main channel programming.
