5327	Fall	<blockquote rel="Vaporman87"><b>Vaporman87 wrote :</b><br><i> What is Fall's last official day? It feels like Winter already. </i><b>-end quote</b></blockquote><br>I believe Winter officially begins on the 22nd of December, but I could be wrong.<br><br>I am always happy to see Fall due to the fact that I absolutely loathe Spring and Summer. I've always hated hot weather. I live in the southern United States, so our Springs and Summers are filled with unbearably hot weather and tornadoes/severe weather. Though, to be fair, it seems like the severe weather is creeping into Fall and Winter with each passing year. The last two Christmas Eves/Christmas Days were plagued with tornado watches or warnings.

5326	What are your top 5 movies to watch on Thanksgiving?	Like others have said, I rarely watch a movie on Thanksgiving. I usually just check out the parade and the football games. I do watch the specials on that day. Stuff like Charlie Brown's Thanksgiving, Garfield's Thanksgiving, etc.<br><br>I do try to watch Planes, Trains, and Automobiles and Home for the Holidays a day or two before Thanksgiving.<br>	Derk	Nov 22, 2013

5319	FXX will air Simpsons reruns	<blockquote rel="blueluigi"><b>blueluigi wrote :</b><br><i> As I mentioned in that other thread, The Simpsons airing on FXX is a big deal because it's the first time the show is ever being shown on cable TV. <br> </i><b>-end quote</b></blockquote> I get that, but it's cable TV owned by Fox. It didn't even exist in 1994. If it did, no way that clause would have been in the contract. Fox just cared about exclusivity. In the early 90s they knew they had a rocket to the top in The Simpsons, and they were determined to ride it. Still, I doubt Adult Swim and TBS could get the show back then even barring the "no cable" policy. After all, until very recently you could only see syndicated episodes on Fox; but now in certain areas other OTA channels have them (WB, UPN). I don't get how the show was "sold" to FXX. That's like me buying a slice of pizza from myself. If I pay myself a thousand dollars, of course no one else is going to outbid me.	shakin steak	Nov 21, 2013
5318	FXX will air Simpsons reruns	As I mentioned in that other thread, The Simpsons airing on FXX is a big deal because it's the first time the show is ever being shown on cable TV. The original syndication deal that started in 1994 stated that The Simpsons won't air on cable until after the show ended. But with the show still being on the air with, unfortunately, no sign of ending anytime soon, then it would seem logical to anull the whole contract of not airing on cable. Otherwise, The Simpsons would have started airing on TBS, Adult Swim, FX, and other networks a LONG time ago.<br><br>What I'm most looking forward to about this is to see where it goes with online streaming. It seems that they're FINALLY going to offer every single episode through a subscription based service. Yes, I know it's from FX's own subscription service and not through something like Netflix, but hey, it's a start.<br>	blueluigi	Nov 21, 2013
