    Nobody I know. Even the New Zealand TV networks have stopped bothering
    to re-run "The Simpsons" (and "Friends") on their usual continuous loop.

    "The Simpsons" was past it 'use by date' many years ago. The rest were
    simply silly garbage from the start. But Americans love to drag their
    shows on and on and on and on ... unless of course they're actually one
    of the few good shows, in which case it quickly gets cancelled. :-\

    Renewing these shows is a cost saving measure, because if
    they cancelled these shows, they'd soon remake them,
    at great expense.
