Plus you can do just about anything with custom SQL queries, including
requests for shows only with an original airdate far enough in the past
(or the repeat flag explicitly set.)
tvwish can also do all this, and you can also pick the specific old
episodes you want so it doesn't waste time on old ones you have already
sen if you hand edit the list of episodes provided. (One for the simpsons,
with quality ratings, is already present)
You must have a lot of disk space, there seem to be many simpsons reruns
on per day.
