They tend to air more episodes in the Summer.

It happened in November/December and stopped at Christmas.

I dunno understand why they don't put the "risque" after 9pm instead of editing it. Excluding Fridays, almost everything after 9pm on CH4 is filler due to them not having a 10pm news slot.



I thought Channel 4 a couple months ago were airing episodes at 2am?

Oh, sorry, I forgot about that. But still, would anyone really stay up to 2am to watch an episode of The Simpsons uncensored? I don’t even know if they did show it censored. I when remember 4Seven were showing episodes late night a few years ago and they were STILL EDITED.

I believe this year, Channel 4 will acquire Season 28 will Sky will be on Season 32.

This is my opinion but am I the the only one who finds the Kingsmill bread sponsorship stings very annoying. I’m not sure if it’s the squeaking sound of the voices or it’s because the faces look horribly plastered on to or if it’s the voiceover.
Also, on the topic of Channel 4, they have added 2 Season 20 episodes to All 4. I think it’s the one were Homer tries to make Bart and Lisa popular and the episode were Maggie is taken by nuns and Marge goes blind.

You’re not alone, I myself am annoyed by these bumpers. These were on the Kingsmill adverts themselves last year. Also they have been sponsoring for quite a while, I’m pretty sure it’s outlived the Lego Hidden Side sponsorship which Kingsmill replaced.

Channel 4 showed Season 27 around Autumn 2019 and I don't remember them showing Treehouse of Horror XXVI. Was it due to censorship reasons? Was it because Hollyoaks took their slot? I can't remember. I don't even think they broadcasted it at all! If it was due to censorship, then CH4 definitely won't like Treehouse of Horror XXVII!

Hollyoaks has had a lot of hour long episodes recently, and when they do, they run from 6pm to 7pm, meaning The Simpsons won’t air on the night of the hour long Hollyoaks. I admit I hate it when Hollyoaks takes it over, being a Simpsons fan, it happened tonight 3-5 weeks ago.

That doesn't sound right. Wouldn't that be after the Coronavirus related episode cuts started? Doesn't make sense to show an hour long episode when they're rationing episodes.
