552-episode FXX Simpsons marathon just started
August 21, 2014 - 11:58 am
Bleeding Gums Murphy will be there.
So will Disco Stu.
And just try to keep Troy McClure, Bumblebee Man, Hans Moleman, Dr. Nick Riviera and Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel from showing up.
At 10 a.m. today, FXX will celebrate its latest acquisition by launching the longest around-the-clock marathon in TV history: all 552 episodes of “The Simpsons,” plus “The Simpsons Movie,” in chronological order.
It will last 278 hours.
In October, SimpsonsWorld.com will offer on-demand access to every episode.
Until then, don’t try to be a hero. The Guinness World Record for consecutive TV watching is only 90 hours.
