Another reason to pre-empt Futurama

http://www.usatoday.com/life/enter/tv/2002/2002-02-27-boxing.htm Amy Fisher and Tonya Harding will box on Fox in a one-hour March 13 special (9 p.m. ET/PT). The three-fight card � When Celebrities Attack, perhaps? � also features a battle of the former network stars, as The Partridge Family's Danny Bonaduce dukes it out with The Brady Bunch's Barry Williams for three two-minute rounds. A yet-to-be-announced bout also is planned.

Okay, Futurama isn't scheduled for the 13th. So they'll put in a last-minute "preview" on the 10th, like they did with that blockbuster "The Chamber".

Wait, did I just miss a month? Is it April 1st already? Because no way they can be serious about that right? Oh wait, were talking FOX. Did you need any more proof that those guys are on drugs? Here's actually another part from the USA Today bit:

             "This is legitimate. We'll have a real referee, a real
doctor, real announcers.
              To all the world, this will be a real boxing match," says
Mike Darnell, Fox's
              alternative-programming chief.

Tell me if I'm wrong, but isn't the important bit the fighters? I mean you can always get some guys who crave the media attention, that doesn't make it real boxing to me. Not that I see much sense in watching two guys beat each other up, but thats just me, I guess.

Yet another television show that will make root canal seem enjoyable.

And so on.
