The new episodes are painfully unfunny, I prefered the days when the first 9 series were played repeatedly.
The newer series just aren't even slightly funny, in fact they are embarrassing to watch. For the love of God, please play the old series, or just find something better to put on. Like 'Futurama' or maybe 'Family Guy'.
They may suck, but I still want to watch them, because I haven't seen them in ages and in some cases at all. I have the first 9 seasons on DVD, so not having them shown every night isn't really a concern of mine. Also the newer episode arn't all that bad, they're still amazingly good, its just that the first 9 seasons were some of the best television episodes of all time.
And C4 don't the rights to Family Guy...

I pretend to know everything about The Simpsons, so if you have a question about it, I'll do my best to answer it.
although the new episodes arent that good it makes a change to how many times they are repeated. Also it saves on paying Sky to get new episodes. Aparently in the later episodes some episode are of better quality.
Are you crazy! New Epsiodes are the best, and just to make you dissapointed, there are New Episodes on Christmas and Boxing Day. And i e-mailed C4, which they told me they would be showing a new season, the whole season 14 in the new year, i can't wait
