The marathon begins at noon ET on November 24 (Thanksgiving Day), and runs for 13 days, ending on Tuesday, December 6, EW reported.
FXX has just announced plans for the longest marathon in television history! That marathon propelled the nascent FXX to cable’s #1-ranked network primetime in Adults 18-49 and Adults 18-34 for 12 consecutive days.
Back in late August/early September of 2014, the fledgling FXX network hit ratings gold and set a record with its 12-day, 552-episode marathon of every episode of The Simpsons that had been made to that point.
Even if you don’t have the stamina for the episode, FXX airs reruns of the entire Simpsons library, minus the current season.

Every single episode of The Simpsons up until now is going to be shown back-to-back in one of the biggest TV events of all time. “Ever.’ Marathon was truly so special and landmark in its cultural relevance and impact”, said FX Networks President and COO Chuck Saftler in a statement. The 600th episode, Treehouse of Horror XXVII, involving Frank Grimes, is set to air on October 19. In the season premiere episode, Springfield is burned to the ground and the Simpsons beg Mr. Burns to fund its rebuilding – which he agrees to do if he can put on a variety show at the Springfield Bowl.
