10/3 - Mars University (1ACV11)
        Fry goes to Mars University, where his roommate is a
        superintelligent monkey, and Bender bands the "robot nerds"
        together
*** NOTE for San Francisco types ***
KTVU will be showing the Raiders game on October 3, and this
episode will be shown at midnight (note this is earlier from when they
usually show "delayed" episodes)
10/10 - Pre-empted for a game in the baseball playoffs first round
        (either Game 4 in the American League or Game 5 in the
        National League; it's possible that all of the series can
        end early - it happened in 1996 - in which case FOX might
        show a Futurama repeat, although most likely they'll show
        a special of some sort)

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

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

I'll ignore the ones everybody probably mentioned, like the "The Love Boat" reference of iZac the bartender, or the Star Trek door-opening sound effects, but did anyone else mention:

In the 2980 Olympics, the stagger lines on the track are drawn so that they run counterclockwise.

Why didn't the magnetic tie make Bender go crazy, the way he did in "The Series Has Landed"?

The escape pods didn't appear to have airlocks, so Bender's opening of the doors should have caused everybody and everything inside to be sucked out.

Don Del Grande, [email] At least KTVU knows what shows put the food on the table - "The Simpsons" and "Futurama" are being shown at somewhat reasonable times, while "King of the Hill" is airing at 1 in the morning

They might, since I check TV Guide Online, and they may have "Thrity Minutes Over Tokyo", followed by "A Big Piece Of Garbage", if the first round playoff ended early, otherwise we might as well wait till the Thanksgiving weekend!

Actually it's "blown out." My assumption is that there is some kind of forcefield that contains the artificial atmosphere. A similar device was used in the movie Star Trek Generations. Near the beginning of that film, several characters visit a damaged deck of the starship but they aren't blown into space because forcefields have been deployed. In Futurama, most likely Bender can just pass through the forcefield without any ill effects.

The tie was on his upper chest, while the magnet in "The Series Has Landed" was placed directly on his head. The circuitry in Bender's head must be more sensitive than on other parts of his body.

(Of course, we're assuming small refrigerator-type magnets. Larger ones, like on the PX ship magno-winch, would have a "scrambling" effect no matter where they were placed.)
