In 2013, for $750 million, FXX acquired syndication rights to Fox's long running series, The Simpsons. At that time, FXX already had rights to show The Simpsons Movie, however. To celebrate the network acquiring syndication rights to The Simpsons, in 2014, FXX held a 12 day Simpsons marathon known as "Every.Simpsons.Ever.", which ran from August 21st to September 1st, and consisted of all 552 episodes of the show at that time played chronologically and uncut, including The Simpsons Movie. The marathon was also accompanied by customized idents, promos, and bumpers. Critics said that the 2014 Simpsons marathon was the longest continuous marathon in the history of television, but this record was beaten by VH1 Classic's 19 day Saturday Night Live marathon.
