The Simpsons, coming soon to a cable channel near you?

Since 1987, The Simpsons has been on television in some form or another.  For pretty much all of my life, in fact, there’s been The Simpsons in some form or fashion, from the crudely-animated shorts on The Tracey Ullman Show to today’s streamlined animation process.  It’s far and away the longest-running animated series on television… for that matter, it’s the longest running show on television period.  Now, the rumor is that Fox is considering turning The Simpsons into its own cable channel!

Would you watch a Simpsons channel?  Considering The Simpsons affects every aspect of modern culture, from the dictionary to pop culture controversies involving Katy Perry, I don’t see how that network wouldn’t attract a huge audience right out of the gate.  Right now, I use the TV as background noise quite a bit of the time anyway, so why wouldn’t I turn it to The Simpsons Station (I recommend calling it KBBL on Cable) for my need for reassuring noise while I work?

The only issue might be the syndication rights would have to expire before they could launch the full-time network, but Matt Groening says the show could last forever, so why not?  I mean, just syndicate the most recent few seasons, put the rest onto the network, and boom, TV gold.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
