Line 315:
* ''[[The Cleveland Show]]'' has certainly become a network favorite. Not to the same extent as ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'' or ''[[Family Guy]]'', but it ''did'' receive two full seasons before airing a single episode, and it is more heavily promoted than a certain [[American Dad|other]] MacFarlane show.
* Chilean network Canal 13 just '''loves''' ''[[The Simpsons]]'', to the point they will fill any spot they need with it. During the summer, the channel plays ''Simpsons'' blocks 2–3 hours long at morning, afternoon, and evening. This roughly sums up eight hours a day of a single show, never mind that they often skip episode credits to save time for adding an extra episode per block. In other words, they can air an entire season in a single day, the only reason they don't being that the episodes are randomly picked for the day. Sometimes, a small block of ''[[Futurama]]'' episodes airs before the morning ''Simpsons'' block. Still, it's not like they actually cut all the episodes in half just to accommodate for the prime time soaps. Oh wait, they totally did.
** Some time ago, in 2009 actually, a new executive at Canal 13 (Vasco Moulián, if you're interested) developed a "flexible grid", where he would cut, extend, and change the programming according to the ratings—in real time, so if a show was running low on ratings it would be cut and replaced with something else on the spot, without a chance to tell anyone beforehand. And if there was any gap in the grid, we got ''[[The Simpsons]]''. The backlash was so big that it cost him his job (despite getting Canal 13 from third to first place in viewership, [[Viewers are Morons|make of that]] [[Humans Are
* Outside of reality shows, Australia's Channel Ten also loves ''[[The Simpsons]]''. It has pretty much always kept its daily 6:00 PM slot <ref>This is when all the other networks are airing the nightly news. Ten air theirs at 5:00.</ref> since forever and will often show a couple of other episodes at other times. Mostly on Wednesdays where another two or three episodes might air after 7:30.
** That is, until they decided to try a two and a half hour news block consisting of their aforementioned 5pm broadcast, followed by two new half-hour news based programs, and concluding with the already established 7pm Project. ''[[The Simpsons]]'' have been shunted onto Ten's secondary channel, 11, where it is shown at least twice during primetime, often being split/followed/alternated by episodes of [[Futurama]] as part of an 'animation fixation' block.
