Don't try to correct Mr. Zaite. He has been proved right at least twice today.

Well unfortunately you are an idiot and you are also wrong. Futurama first aired here on GLOBAL March 21st, thus making over 2 years old. I have the original taped and verified the time stamp.

No fuckhead, the first Futurama aired on TV for the first time March 21st, 1999. I am sorry that you were not privilaged enough to watch it. Maybe you should just give up on life now and blow your fucking brains out? "Mike Zaite" wrote in message news:[email]...

According to the Futurama Outlet:

"Episode One: "Pilot"(1ACV01) 8:30 p.m. Sunday March 28 on Fox

According to Much Ado About Futurama:

SEASON ONE [March 1999 - May 1999] [1ACV01] Space Pilot 3000... 28-Mar-1999

According to Futurama, Planet Express:

Season 1 Space Pilot 3000 March 28, 1999

But you know, your VCR timestamp is probably right and everyone else in the world is wrong. It couldn't be that maybe you didn't have the clock set properly when you recorded the show.

Unfortunately you are wrong too. Has it occured to you that their are numerous GLOBAL stations and maybe yours didn't???? It probaly didn't occur to you becuase you are a fucking moron as well. "Willie" wrote in message news:[email]...

	Do you see commercials for a following Simpsons episode on your
tape of "Space Pilot 2000"?  Most likely, the episode is "Maximum
Homerdrive (AABF13)", which also premeried on March 28th.  You can
confirm this at www.snpp.com, if you wish.  The odds that this is a
hoax as well are extremely low, because if you'll look at the p-codes
(which cannot be a hoax, since the codes are shown during the
end-credits of every single episode) you'll see that the following
episode was "Simpsons Bible Stories (AABF14)", which was OBVIOUSLY
aired on April 4th, because it was Easter.  If you don't beleive they
were shown in order, you can refer to snpp.com again, or if you have
Simpsons tapes, you can check to see which episodes are advertised at
the end of which.
	In the fourth Futurama episode, Kif told Zapp Brannigan that the
date was April 13th, which was interesting, because that was the date
of the actual episode's airing (1001 years earlier ... ).  If you'll
look at the dates, you'll see they match up quite well:

March 28 -- 1st episode April 4 -- 2nd episode

After this, the show was moved immediately to Tuesdays, and the third episode followed two days later.

April 6 -- 3rd episode April 13 -- 4th episode

An interesting side-note: the fifth episode, which involved massive human-killing, aired on the same day as the Columbine massacre. If you taped it, you probably will see commercials with footage from it, promising more during the night's news.

Since Futurama was not pre-empted during its first season, you can follow these dates right up to the season finale, May 18th, which was the same day as The Simpsons' season finale, as you can confirm with www.snpp.com, again.

Also, here is a copy of a Foxworld TV schedule from March 28 - April 3, 1999: <http://home.earthlink.net/~jedraw/giveitup.html>. Fox would NOT allow another network in another country to air the SERIES PREMEIRE ahead of them. I think that might be the main issue here, and I must maintain that to think anything else is utterly wrong.

If you are still not convinced, I might have to personally mail you dozens of magazine articles which refer to its WORLD premeire on the 28th. Or the fact that not a single a.t.f. poster during March of 1999 referred to an advance airing in Canada. Too bad deja.com is gone.

March 28th 1999 to March 29th 2001 is two years, so fuck right off.

Why don't you just admit that you are wrong and some people actually watched Futurama before you did shiteating fuckface? "Cygnus / Anders Gissel" wrote in message news:[email]...

Are you sure everyone disagrees with the DOC??? I only see a few people disagree. I know lots of times Canadian TV will end up playing shows before they PREMIERE in the U.S.A. So maybe you are really the fuckhead here. "G��� P��� G.�.�." wrote in message news:[email]...

Or maybe not. I never called anyone a fuckhead, ringtoss. I'm Canadian, as well, hoop dreams. And every Canadian except him, it seems, everyone else who watches Global, disagrees. Asspony. I'm just offering an alternative. From what I'm seeing, he isn't offering anything to support his argument except verbal abuse.

I had a feeling this was the case. Nice detective work Mike!

For every one that posts disagreement, there are dozens more sitting quietly and shaking their heads wondering how someone that antisocial and immature gets along in life. Perhaps you have a theory? You seem to be very *close* to him, nodamene?

Maybe. No.

Sorry, Mr. Sock Puppet. You lose.

Fox ran the show's feed ~37 hours before it aired. In this case, the feed was sent out 6:00 am on March 27, 1999. If a rouge affiliate decided to run the show early, they might have shown it a day earlier. but since none of the affiliates even had a tape of the show a week early, it is unlikely that anyone showed it a week earlier.

So, there are two possibilities here:

1. Mike is wrong. Along with him, I am wrong, and about 8 or 9 other people who post here are also wrong about the first air date. In addition, the Fox network posted wrong information on their web sight. Plus numerous magazine articles and TV listings all got it wrong.

2. One person, who now resides in my Killfile (twice!), thinks he can impress us all by using juvenile language, and needs to create a secret identity just so he can agree with himself, had the date set wrong on his VCR over two years ago and can't let go of it.

be a long time.  I guess I was wrong.
