fx networks' chuck saftler viewed the additions as a complement to their existing animated series, explaining that "based on the successful launch of "the simpsons" on fxx, this is the perfect time to expand our animation offerings and make fxx the after hours destination for animated shorts and series." reruns of these new episodes can still potentially air on fox. the fxx adaptation of this block includes an "everything that happened this week" recap that appears in between the first two shows. that recap was discontinued in 2016.
