Jokes aside, I think they recently overturned their decision of stopping physical DVD sales, but it’s good there is other methods of online distribution of the newer Seasons. Wonder if they have the older Seasons on there too.
I’m pretty sure I’ve heard one of the networks in the past say that new episodes and similar is true when it’s first on their network. Yes misleading but what isn’t these days?
Reminds me of when Nine scheduled new episodes of TBBT twice in one night. From memory it was raised by Knoxy on TV Tonight and the explanation was along the lines of “we’re only charged once to run an episode twice in a set period” - could be a similar deal here.
Perhaps Seven are trying to get their money’s worth for the purchase from Fox. Switching to the more popular Seven network hasn’t seen Simpsons’ ratings improve.
