good lineup:

Problems:

the 5 & 5:30 Simpsons

5:00 They already did that kind of ep(Home getting a new job w/an easygoing boss bent on WORLD domination): "You Only Live Twice"

5:30 Although the story of the pacifier would be considered "new" Marge already solved that mystery(She buys them at Safeway). BTW Bart was born in 1983 or '86 Can't remember.

Of course since the planet would be destroyed twice, records maybe lost for good & they will have free reign to re-incarnate OFF in any century

Since The Simpsons don't age, their birthdates have to be coninually moved up - that was the joke.

Also, the other joke was that "You Only Live Twice" was still being shown in syndication 1000 years from now.

First, the episode is called "You Only _Move_ Twice." Second, the future episode has an easygoing boss bent on UNIVERSE domination, whereas the 20th Century episode had one who was only interested in WORLD domination. They're two different episodes. If they sound similar, one would have to expect a little bit of repetition when a show has been on the air for 1000 years.

<snip> Pretty good!

How about:

11: 30 pm - "Soul Transport Tube System"

Hosted by the head of Lou Rawls, this show provides the latest in soul and urban music. Featuing Isaac Hayes XXIX singing his hit, "The Theme From Shaft XX"

7 pm on Fox - "When Aliens Attack!"

Amusing and deadly alien encounters caught on holo. Brings a whole new meaning to close encounters!

8 pm on Fox affiliates not on Earth - "Human Autopsy"

Is it real? Or just fake! Special effects experts analyze the film, but you decide!

Simpsons Episodes

101200 - "God schod, I want my Monkey-Man"

Bart finally gets his wish. Using advanced gene-splicing technology originaly created by Lisa for the school science fair, Bart creates a half-man, half-monkey creature. Names him Ho-Ju.

101201 - "Planet of the Kwjibos"

Homer once again goes into space. This time, the accident he causes results in him crashing into a planet where all the inhabitants look like him! Wackiness ensues.

101202 - "Homer the President"

Thanks to a computer error in the new computerized voting process, Homer is accidently elected President. While Homer goofs off, it's up to Marge to run the world. Hillarity ensues when Homer inadvertantly eats the ambassador from Epsilon Eridani.

FWIW, it is my prediction that by the year 3000, all sitcoms will run 5 minutes long, with 25 minutes of commercials.
