    Disney has launched a brand-new 24/7 Stream for “The Simpsons”, offering 767 episodes across seasons 1 thru 35, which are programmed in chronological order at launch. This means a total of nearly 300 continuous hours with the Simpsons family.

    So instead of selecting your own season/episode and skip the bad ones, we are back at linear TV? But now you pay for it.

      I mean this doesn’t take away your option to select a season/episode, it just adds another feature.

      Sometimes not having to make a choice is better than having to think. Especially if you just want some mindless background entertainment.

      That said i’d say this is not quite linear TV, but closer to just another playback mode to choose from, like random shuffle. Because this is lacking any form of curation or variety.
