5/7 - DOUBLE FEATURE 7:00 - We're on the Road to D'ohwhere (HABF04) After a prank involving the school's steam tunnels, Bart gets sent to a camp in Oregon, but thanks to Bart being on the no-fly list, Homer has to drive him there; the big seller at Marge's yard sale is the family supply of expired medications 8:00 - Regarding Margie (HABF13) When Stan wipes out most of Francine's memory, he tries recreating events from her past in order to...no, wait, that was an "American Dad" episode... When Marge loses most of her memory as a result of inhaling too many cleaning product fumes while spring cleaning, she forgets that she's married to Homer, even after Homer's attempts to get her to remember anything familiar...what, are they that starved for ideas that they're reworking "American Dad" episodes now?
5/14 - DOUBLE FEATURE 7:00 - My Fair Laddy (HABF05) As a science fair project, Lisa tries to turn Groundskeeper Willie into a refined gentlemen, complete with songs that sound an awful lot like the ones in "My Fair Lady" 8:00 - The Monkey Suit (HABF14) Ned Flanders gets Mayor Quimby to appoint Reverend Lovejoy as Springfield's "morality czar", whose job it is to promote creationism and prevent the teaching of evolution, resulting in Lisa's arrest when she tries to spread the word of Charles Darwin - and a comment made way back in the show's first season may end up saving her (if you're wondering about the title, it's a reference to the Scopes "monkey trial")
5/21 - GASP! TRIPLE FEATURE! 7:00 - The Seemingly Never-Ending Story (HABF06) When Homer gets stuck in a hole in a cave and Marge and Bart go off in search of help, Lisa keeps Homer company by telling him a story that includes Mr. Burns telling Lisa a story of the time Moe told Burns a story 7:30 - Homer Simpson, This is Your Wife (HABF08) Ricky Gervais (of the BBC version of "The Office") wrote, and guest voices in, this episode, where Homer gets involved in a new TV show (in order to win a widescreen TV like the one Lenny has) in which he has to trade wives with another man 8:00 - Marge and Homer Turn a Couple Play (HABF16) Homer and Marge are asked to help patch up the marriage of one of the Isotopes's star players after he sees them kiss on the Jumbotron during a game, but when Homer is caught giving the player's wife a neck massage, it's a doubleheader in the breakup department * Note that the title originally appeared as "Homer and Marge...", but the Fox press release says "Marge and Homer...", and these are almost always the correct titles; also note the ID is HABF16, not HABF15 as The Futon Critic originally listed
5/28 - PRE-EMPTED for the Coca-Cola 600 NASCAR race (western stations will air local programming after the race)

Overseas Animation: Rough Draft
TV Rating: TV-PG-VREVIEW: A-minus - this one had everything going for it, from the Itchy & Scratchy musical to Lisa letting Martin have it in the final scene. It had the occasional hiccup, like Lisa coping out from the explanation at the end and a little too much wreckage in the boys' school, which is why it didn't rate an A.
