Pray for Mojo.
FOX
On Aug. 21, FXX embarked on the unprecedented feat of airing every episode of The Simpsons — all 522 of them — over the course of a 12-day marathon. As someone who has been a fan of the series since before I understood what I was watching (I was three years old when The Simpsons premiered), I jumped at the opportunity to watch as many consecutive days of the marathon as possible.
I quickly realized that was insane, and that doing so would likely trigger a psychotic breakdown similar to Apu thinking he was a hummingbird, so instead I challenged myself to watch a full 24 hours, from the 10 a.m. premiere on Thursday to 10 a.m. the following day. How difficult could it really be? What I learned is that I'm woefully naive. As it turns out, even the biggest Simpsons fan needs sleep.
But along my (spoiler alert) failed journey, I took notes on what I was watching and how I was feeling. Here is my account of the first 24 hours (ish) of FXX's Simpsons marathon.
