My kids have finally had a taste of the show, watching an episode or two a day for the past few days. This morning, however, the episodes had disappeared. Now all that is available is clips. Is this a permanent change? I can’t find any reference to it online. But if not, then what’s going on? > **[https://www.hulu.com/series/the-simpsons-c88bb35c-880b-437e-9187-ab59b52df1a2](https://www.hulu.com/series/the-simpsons-47332072-d7fb-48b3-a5f7-ca8c6915ca27)** > > This long-running animated comedy focuses on the eponymous family in the town of Springfield in an unnamed U.S. state.

Maybe it’s a change related to the entire run of the series being shown on FXX. ---

Maybe this has something to do with it? [Every 'Simpsons' episode is going online | EW.com](http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/07/21/the-simpsons-longest-tv-marathon/) Too bad for the kids–their streaming device is the Wii, which I don’t guess will have a way to access those videos. ---

FoxNow has current season full episodes (or they did a few weeks ago when I was looking). I watched the one where everything is made of Legos on my Roku via FoxNow. Oddly you need to verify FoxNow with your cable provider, despite Fox not being a cable station, or all you get is clips. Also, FXX will be putting older eps on FXNow at some point in the not too distant future. ---

FX/FXX/Big Daddy Fox now owns the streaming rights to the Simpsons. With the marathon winding down, I presume the next step is to ram up their online streaming. > **[The Simpsons Will Finally Be Available to Stream](https://www.vulture.com/2013/11/simpsons-will-finally-be-available-to-stream.html)** > > As part of a nine-figure FXX syndication deal, all 24 seasons will be available on the soon-to-be-released FXNOW app, not Netflix.
