This is the second time in the show's history that two new episodes have aired on the same night (the first being "Homerpalooza" and "Summer of 4 Foot 2" on May 19, 1996)

Upcoming "Futurama" Episodes ----------------------------------------------------------- 2/2 - PRE-EMPTED because it's February and Fox thinks more people would rather watch a "King of the Hill" repeat

2/9 - PRE-EMPTED AGAIN because it's February and Fox STILL thinks more people would rather watch a "King of the Hill" repeat

2/16 - PRE-EMPTED YET AGAIN, but I think this time it's a new episode
       of "King of the Hill" and not just a repeat (besides, "Malcolm
       in the Middle" gets pre-empted by a "Married...with Children"
       reunion)

Ok I dont get why fox doesnt know that this is the 300th episode? do they consider Simpsons roasting on a open fire not the first episode? plus if they dont consider who shot mr burns parts 1 & 2 seperate episodes this would also explain this? I dont understand what another simpsons clip show and the principal and the pauper have to do with anything? "Don Del Grande" wrote in message news:[email]...

They know that this is the 300th episode but they want to promote another episode as being the 300th.

They knew which episode was number 100. They knew which episode was number 138. They knew which episode was number 200. They knew which episode was number 250.

There's no reason to think that they don't know that tomorrow's episode number 300.

Well that's just weird. Now I don't know what to think.

Perhaps they (Fox) need it spelling out to them?

Episode 100 - explained on the blackboard intro episode 138 - only a special "number" because of the title (it just happened to be the 138th aired episode) episode 200 - was dedicated to Linda McCartney. Special to me.

My trusty episode guide book only goes as far as season 10: so I can't remember what the 250th episode was. (I'm hanging on a few more seasons before I pay money for a second guide)
