If your dream is to be able to watch “The Simpsons” any hour, day or night, then you’re in luck! News Corp. is considering giving the beloved television family, their very own channel.

While the thought of a channel solely devoted to one show may seem crazy, “The Simpsons,” which will launch its 23rd season on Fox this week, is no stranger to making television history.

The show, which has broken many records, is the longest-running American sitcom, the longest-running American animated program, and the longest-running American primetime, scripted television series.

In addition to winning 27 Primetime Emmy Awards, being awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and being featured on the U.S. postage stamp, “The Simpsons” has inspired a billion-dollar merchandising industry.

And we can’t forget “The Simpsons Movie” or “The Simpsons Ride” at Universal Studios.

Maybe a dedicated “Simpsons” channel isn’t so crazy after all.

“[T]his is a unique franchise…and it provides us a unique opportunity to do some interesting things with it,” said News Corp.’s chief operating officer Chase Carey.

"We think there is a bigger opportunity than just a second syndication cycle. We have an opportunity to do something truly unique."

What do you think about the possibility of an all-“Simpsons” television channel? Does it make you want to say “D’oh!” or “Woohoo!”?

    Sooo you get to see the same episodes over and over again? Or are they actually going to produce over five new episodes everyday to keep it interesting?

    I don't like the Simpsons, but hey it doesn't bother me if they have an all Simpsons channel, I just won't watch it. I don't see he big deal ove an of those kind of shows; American Dad, Family Guy, etc. Anyway, Fox has canceled too many shows l like...especially Joss Whedon shows.
  • Jada_Ringo 2011/09/27 00:13:14

    I love the simpsons, but if wont go far. If you add family guy and American Dad to the channel, then it just might.

    500 episodes. It might get old fast, But for the die hards It might succeed. Better Idea, what about an Animation Domination Channel, Or Adult Swim 24/7 That would rule.

    I think they deserve it, what with being one of the longest continuing shows in history and all! They may be getting old, but that's an accomplishment to be proud of just the same!

    But I wasn't really that much into The Simpsons. They're not bad but I don't know about a whole channel to just any one show.

    Only if that means they won't be shown on any other channel, then 'woohoo'. So this is where liberals get their knowledge.

    If it is done right, then this channel could be amazing. To do that, EVERYTHING must be done in the Simpsons style of animation, even the commercials.

    How about an all-Firefly channel, Fox? How about not cancelling cult shows that will get you billions of dollars in merchandising and make people happy?

    How about Firefly, Fox?

    Good only if it is season 1-9. Which it would not be.
