    Does anyone else find that the same episodes are repeatedly shown?
    There has been 467 episodes, I would say around 150 of them are repeated.

    I got Sky in 2008, for the 5 years or so previous I seen very few of the new episodes that were on Sky 1 each week then. Now on Sky 1 you get new episodes, but the repeats are only ever old or recent new episodes.

    I believe Sky have the rights to the more recent episodes, leaving RTÉ to show the same old repeats over and over again.

    Not that we're missing much. Haven't watched the Simpsons in years.

    This week on RTE it seems to be pretty newish episodes. From the last five years or so I'd say.

    Show should really follow it's own advice.

    Yeh, I Think The Same Ones Keep In Repeating Too! We Need More Episodes, Because There's Like 30/40/50 Episodes I Haven't Seen...:(

    I think Sky has the rights to all, or at least the majority, of the Seasons. It's surprising to see RTE/Channel 4 still so far behind. I remember Sky advertising how they are 5 years ahead of the Terrestrial channels showing Sky, but thought that would have changed by now. One episode I've only seen once or twice is the Catburglar (voiced by Sam Neill I think) episode. Maybe I just don't tune in at the right time, but I've rarely seen this on TV.

    I find the newer seasons has gone down hill. There just not as good as the older ones. Simpsons have had their day now.
