Upcoming Episodes plus the occasional note about "Mars University"

10/10 - It may depend on where you live
        The TV listings I've seen say that in the Eastern and Central
        time zones, there will be no episode if Fox shows a baseball
        playoff game (Game 5 in one of the the National League series
        or Game 4 in one of the American League series) - in the
        Pacific and Mountain time zones, however, Fox is supposed to
        show "A Big Piece of Garbage" (1ACV08)
        If all four of the first-round series end before Sunday (it
        happened in 1996), I assume Fox will show 1ACV08 nationwide

10/17 - Pre-empted for game 4 of the baseball American League Championship Series

Note that NBC is showing the World Series this year, so there will be an episode on 10/24

And now a few late notes about "Mars University" (it was shown at midnight in San Francisco because of the Raiders game):

DYN ...the Bart and Homer dolls at one of the Coney Island booths? ...they never show Kappa Kappa Wong sorority?

GOOFS/FREEZE FRAME/WHATNOT

This one I'm not so sure about...but does the Greek capital letter "rho" look like an R? The small letter looks more like a "p", if I remember correctly.

The word is "dodectuple", not "dodecatuple". (That would be like saying "pentatuple" instead of "quintuple".)

When Bender and the other ERRers got on the ladder, they were not on the top when it started going up, but they were at the top when it stopped.

According to the end, Fry dropped out and went back to his job - but what about Amy? Did she drop out as well? Maybe the university gave her a degree in exchange for yet another Wong contribution?

To borrow the term used be the computer-standards committees, Amy's behavior is not defined. That is, she might have dropped out, she might have graduated magna cum laude, or something else might have happened [*]. Whatever it was, the writers didn't feel it was important or funny enough to show.

[*] "Up to and including World War III."

Personally, I think Amy will be a MU student for some time. She's an engineering intern, after all, and this gives her an excuse to be on the PX crew. It also explains why she might be *absent* from a mission, like the one to Vergon 6: We can just assume she had a class that day.

"Can't talk -- thinking about Amy."

Capital Rho is supposed to look like a P. Also, Epsilon is supposed to look like this:

No, that's a capital Sigma. Uppercase Epsilon looks just like uppercase E.

If you want to see the letters, use the Symbol font - Sigma is S, s and V, and Epsilon is E and e. Rho does look like a P, both upper and lowercase. Use the R and r with Symbol font to see Rho.
