I prefer Thursday for some reason.

Thursday! Thats when tv's brightest stars come to shine! Friends! ER! Smackdown! The Simpsons would destroy each of them in the ratings. -Aaron TheYAM.net

The whole idea of counterprogramming is pure evil. Is it really necessary to pit TV's best series against each other? Especially now that there are so few worth watching?

This is being done in the networks' eternal quests to get the least amount of viewers possible for each of their shows.

Stupidity at its best :-)

Sunday is the best night for TV so leave it be.

Sunday's the best for me.   I liked watching Futurama, King of The Hill,
Simpsons, and X-files in a three hour block.    I watch CSI on Thursday
anyway..

yes. that is IMO one of the worst pieces of crap in more years than i can remember. but i don't watch a lot of tv, so i don't have specifics on what sucks more than other things. it all sucks as far as i'm concerned, but since it's directly after OFF, sometimes i hear the theme music, or if i walk out of the room and leave it on accidentally, i catch a scene or too. yuck-O.

Once upon a midnight dreary, Stan pondered:

Didn't the Simpsons start out on Thursday nights, back when wearing an onion tied to one's belt was in style?

(I could be wrong. I was only in junior high then . . . and not very stylish.)

that reminds me of a funny story.

actually, it isn't funny inasmuch as it is long ...

http://www.snpp.com/episodes/1F14.html:

 Bart: I don't get it, Lis.  You said everything would be back to
       normal, but Homer and Flanders are still friends.
 Lisa: Yeah.  Maybe this means the end of our wacky adventures.
        ["Next Thursday at 8:00pm"]
Homer: Guess what, everybody?  My great uncle Boris died and left us his
       old country house!  There's only one catch: they say it's
       haunted.  But I'm sure we can prove 'em wrong by spending the
       weekend there.
  Ned: Hi-diddely-ho, neighbor!
Homer: Get lost, Flanders.
  Ned: Okily dokily.

there's a trivia question - homer's great uncle. who would've known that?

oh, and no one has yet to say why eggnog is homer's second favorite drink.

don't tell me i've stumped an entire newsgroup ...
