Hey Guys

Noticed that Simpsons no longer play on channel 10…is it related to it being bought by evil Disney
:/

I rem it being in channel 10 ever since I was kid. And as an adult after finishing work would come to it to watch an old Simpsons episode followed by a new on an hr later. I miss this. I rather not subscribe to Disney and watch on demand ..I like the excitement of not knowing which episode they will see and the buzz of knowing thousands are watching it with me…

Should the gov step in :0

    Nor is Simpsons related to the government, as it never aired on the ABC.

          I knew it :( I loved that show, I don't want it brought back. I don't want it to become The Simpsons. Let it die with dignity.

          At this point Futurama will run so long it will eventually be set in the present.

        I recently watched everything to the current episodes. It does get better after season 30/31. Not great like seasons 1-8ish but way way better than the crappy in between seasons, like that stupid manatee episode.

            @idonotknowwhy: I liked the movie when I first saw it but on second (and subsequent) viewings realised how much it sucked

          • Cheap Gamer on 09/09/2023 - 06:35

            @idonotknowwhy: Spider Pig. Spider Pig. Does whatever a Spider Pig does.
            Can he swing? From a web. No he cant. He's a pig.
            Look out! He's a Spider Pig.

            Simpsons has been going downhill since the Monorail episode. But I do love singing that song :-)

          Nah there were good seasons for a few more years after that. E.g. I think that was when we had the episode of Homer's BBQ pit becoming art.

    Al Gore has a lot to answer for. Your TV set used to offer enough entertainment to satisfy everyone. Then along came the interweb and stole everything that people liked. Soviet Russia had a criminal category that described it. Parasitism. Where someone buys things just so they can add a profit margin for themselves before they sell it to the people who want it. They threw the parasites and other speculators into jail.

    My pets hates? F1 and MotoGP. All we get of F1 now is the results. And MotoGP has completely disappeared as if it doesn't exist. Unless you pay some parasite streaming service. Service isn't the word for it.

    My view is that Australian governments should not use our money to subsidise and promote local events in series like F1 and MotoGP unless the people running those series don't just then use it to promote the business interests of the streaming services of getting us to sign up to them to pay to see the rest of the series.

  • AustriaBargain on 06/09/2023 - 20:06

    Just get Disney Plus. Though it is behind on new episodes so you'll have to wait a bit to catch up.

  • Phlume on 07/09/2023 - 00:08

    Damn shame. Should be a bootable offence.

    For what? Umm no but since the 3rd vote option is buy an OLED you should do that instead. I did and I love it.

    In case this was a serious question. It's has been on Channel 7 and sister stations for several years now. Episodes are currently broadcast on 7Mate at 7:30pm and 8:00pm each Thursday. Was on 7flix until not to long ago.

    It left 10 in 2017 due to Channel 10's receivership. It was due to Channel 10's new owners wanting to save money by not paying the "overpriced" Fox content fees.
    Fox being quite bitter after not being able to buy channel 10 when it entered receivership. Did some revenge by jacking the fees up expecting the new owners to "just pay whatever Fox wanted for it" which I'd say backfired.

    I marathon'd Simpsons seasons 1-10 a few year ago on my plasma screen.
