Every 'Simpsons' episode ever will make up the longest TV marathon in history
LOS ANGELES -- FXX has got your holiday binge watching covered.
The network said Thursday it will run a marathon of The Simpsons -- the "longest marathon in TV history" -- beginning on Nov. 24 (Thanksgiving Day) and ending on Dec. 6.
That's 600 episodes, or 300 hours over 13 days.

In 2014, FXX had a similar marathon for the popular animated show, airing 552 episodes over a 12-day period. That marathon helped boost FXX to cable’s No. 1 ranked network primetime in the coveted 18-to-49-year-old demographic and 18-to-34-year-old demographic for 12 days straight, according to Nielsen ratings.
"The first ‘Every. Simpsons. Ever.’ Marathon was truly so special and landmark in its cultural relevance and impact," FX Networks President and COO Chuck Saftler said in a statement. "The unprecedented feat of reaching 600 episodes deserves something of that caliber to mark it and celebrate it."
The news the marathon comes a few days ahead of the Fox show's season 28 premiere on Sunday.
The series, from creator Matt Groening, has won 32 Emmy Awards since debuting in 1990.
