I've never been a steady viewer... and while it's cool that every episode is being shown, that's just to daunting an exercise to put myself through.
If I ever binge-watch Simpsons, it'll be strictly the Treehouse of Horror episodes. I'm sure I'll miss various nuances and inside gags but I think those are the only episodes that would hold my attention for that long.
Maybe they'll schedule THAT marathon this Halloween.

But if it ever gets cancelled I will be so bummed.
They're renewed through season 25. Pretty much the only thing that can sink the show at this point is one of the lead actors dropping out of the project... they're so ahead of the production schedule that the show is effectively impossible for the network to cancel. They had a close call with contract negotiations though, so it's possible we get to the point where someone drops out due to wanting a deal that Fox won't agree to.
Just reading the synopsises for later episodes is spectacular.
535: YOLO
Marge invites an old pen pal to stay with Homer and cross items off his "to-do" list from when he was 10 years old, so that Homer can embrace his "You-Only-Live-Once" spirit. Meanwhile, Lisa starts an honor code for the school to combat cheating.
525: What Animated Women Want
Homer takes a page from 50 Shades of Grey and decides that a sadomasochistic relationship with Marge is the way to go. Meanwhile, Milhouse uses Marlon Brando's ghost to get advice on how to impress Lisa.
Guest stars: Wanda Sykes and George Takei
549: What to Expect When Barts Expecting
Bart makes a voodoo doll of his hippie art teacher when he gets sick of art class and cast a spell to make her sick, but when he inadvertently gets her pregnant, he becomes a savior to Springfield couples trying to conceive - and is subsequently kidnapped to help conceive a thoroughbred race horse.
I get FXX. I believe I'll be tuning in around 10 pm this evening.

Homer eating blowfish was the first episode of the Simpsons I ever watched.
My first was the one where Bart and Homer got lost in the woods and Homer was mistaken for Bigfoot. Actually, I only watched less than half of it because my Mom caught me watching it and gave me a spanking. She was very anti-Simpsons in those days after she saw a news story about how Bart Simpson was a bad influence on kids. Until at least season 4, I had to watch this forbidden TV comedy in secret, sneaking episodes when I could.
My mom didn't go quite that far. Probably because my sister and I never really watched until I was about 13 and she 15. By a couple years later, my mom watched a few episodes with us.
When the movie came out, my parents even went to it, though I'm not sure they've seen more than a handful of episodes.
I have to say I love a lot of the early Skinner stuff.
"That smells like sodium tetrasulfate bonding with chlorophyll!"
One of my favorite Skinner moments is from the episode where they got school uniforms, and as the students are marching in lockstep through the hall he goes
"They've even started blinking in unison." *ftwhap*
"I love that sound."
A friend of mine has one of those magentic screen curtains you can put on your doors and it makes that exact sound as it closes and it weirds me out.

Armin: Good evening, Edna. I know we were planning to see a film tonight, but
instead I'm leaving town forever.
Edna: No, please, I don't care what you've done. You're still a decent,
honorable man.
Armin: Mmm...that's the kind of talk that makes me want to marry you.
Edna: [expecting him to pop the question] Oh!
Armin: But instead, I'm leaving town forever. Goodbye.

One of the early, great bits is when Homer is trying to find a date for Selma (or Patty, I forget) and whenever he looks at a man it shows a T-1000 sort of view. When he looks at Skinner:
I hadn't watched Simpsons for a long time but watched a brand-new episode on Sunday a whole eight years or so ago?
I remember the plot of the episode, mostly. I shall describe it to you.
Springfield was going to be visited by the NFL commissioner to be considered for the home of the Superbowl. In their quest to impress him, the town renames all of their streets after famous football players, resulting in him becoming lost. Meanwhile, while the rest of the Simpsons are waiting at City Hall for the commissioner to show up, they leave Abe to house-sit, where he watches some television program that fearmongers about strangers coming to ask to use the phone and then stealing your stuff and killing you. So the commissioner stops at the house so he can call for directions, which leads to Abe attacking him. Obviously the commissioner is furious so Springfield loses out on the bid.
This leads to the entire town being mad at Abe, so much so that he decides to kill himself. So he goes to an assisted suicide place where they basically hook him up to a giant iPod that kills you. I'm sure it was clever back then. But somehow he gets an epiphany of something to do, and knows what they can use the giant stadium they built for: bull fighting. Yes, Grandpa Simpson becomes a bull fighter.
Which Lisa is horrified at and tries to get him to stop. By the end of the episode she convinces him somehow and they escape out of the stadium in a hot air balloon and watch as all the bulls overrun town. The end.

Sweet a Simpsons thread! I'll start with my most favorite Simpsons joke.
It's from the episode where Lisa decides to become a vegetarian and the family is sitting down for dinner and Lisa is trying to explain to Homer what a vegetarian is.
Lisa : It means that I won't eat any meat that comes from an animal.
Homer : So wait... That means that you won't eat any pork chops, ham or bacon?!
Lisa: Daaaad that all comes from the same animal!
Homer : HAHAHAHA Yea sure Lisa one maaagical animal

Armin: My mind is made up! I'm not coming back! And that's final.
Edna: Oh, Seymour.
Armin: And I'm not Seymour. My name is Armin. This is Armin's apartment,
Armin's liquor, Armin's copy of "Swank", Armin's frozen peas. Homer: Can I see your copy of "Swank", Armin?
Armin: Yes, you can. This is Armin's life, and maybe it's not perfect, but
at least I'm back where I belong. I was born a no-goodnik, and I'll
die a no-goodnik.

Quick question, and apologies if this has been asked- But did FXX do anything for the older episodes?
It might be because the landlords installed new cable last week, and now it's being outputted through HDMI, but the old eps seem a hell of a lot crisper and clearer than I'm used to. It's weird in a way.
