Why hasn't The Simpsons ever been in syndication? It's the longest running cartoon and as far as I know its never been shown by a channel. Since King Of The Hill is now on Cartoon Network so FX probably has a spot opened, it would be perfect.

The Simpson has been on syndication through network affiliates. My local Fox station used to play episodes daily from about 1996 until 2007. My cousin said there are a couple of CW stations in Florida that air the show. I wish FX would air episodes.

The Simpsons air on two of my local affiliates. They've been on a long time too.

I wish my local affiliate would still air episodes. In late 2007 they stopped showing episodes and started showing Jeopardy in that slot. It made me mad because Jeopardy also airs on another area affiliate.

i think we have at least 2 locals that air it in syndication - you can sometimes watch it 5 times a day.

The Simpsons began their syndication run in September, 1994, a little after
it reached its 100th show
