For as long as I can remember, syndicated episodes of The Simpsons have aired at 7 p.m. on FOX 5. And what a perfect time for America’s longest-running TV comedy. At 6 you might still be at work, and at 8 you’re ready for prime-time shows. But at 7 o’clock, it’s time for re-runs of any of the show’s 441 episodes. No longer, it seems. As of Monday, September 21, WTTG-FOX 5 is pushing its syndicated episodes of The Simpsons to the 11:30 p.m. time slot. Seinfeld will move up a half-hour to 7 p.m., while re-runs of The Office will debut in the 7:30 p.m. opening. Don’t get me wrong — that’s a fine hour of TV. But dumping one of America’s best cartoon shows to the nether regions of TV viewing times? That’s simply criminal. How about a compromise we can all agree on? Push TMZ to 11:30 — or just cancel it, I don’t care — and give The Simpsons the 6:30 slot. Just don’t force me to stay up late to get my fix. (NB: New episodes of the The Simpsons will still air at 8 p.m on Sundays).
