Unfortunately, among the changes TV Guide has made is to limit its online searches to 7 days in advance. ExciteTV's listings are usually 12 days in advance, but this means Upcoming Episodes postings will probably move to Tuesdays or Wednesdays.

9/14 - PRE-EMPTED for the movie "The Lost World: Jurassic Park"

Wednesday, September 17 - 8:30 - SPECIAL DAY AND TIME
Old Yeller Belly (EABF14)
    Santa's Little Helper becomes the new Duff Spokesdog, which is
    good news (not to mention piles of cash) for his owner - not
    Homer, who let him go when the dog abandoned Homer in a fire,
    but the dog's original owner (from the Christmas Special)

9/21 - PRE-EMPTED for the Emmy Awards (there will be an hour-long pre-Emmy "red carpet" show at 7:00)

Upcoming "Futurama" Episodes
-----------------------------------------------------------
9/14 - PRE-EMPTED for the movie "The Lost World: Jurassic Park"

9/21 - PRE-EMPTED for the Emmy Awards "red carpet" pre-show

9/28 - another NFL Football doubleheader; unless Fox decides to show
       an episode at 7:30 PM, "The Sting" on 8/31 appears to be the
       last episode Fox will air in the east (there should be an
       episode aired 9/28 in the west) - baseball playoffs will be
       on 10/5 and 10/12, World Series game 2 on 10/19, and either
       an old Simpsons Halloween episode or World Series Game 7 on
       10/26

EMMY RESULTS The Simpsons won the Emmy for Animated Program (One Hour or Less) for "Three Gays of the Condo". (The other nominees were the Futurama episode "Jurassic Bark" and episodes of As Told By Ginger (Nickelodeon), Kim Possible (Disney), and SpongeBob SquarePants (Nickelodeon).) Under a new rule allowing only "14 producers, three writers, and four directors" to actually get Emmys, the following people credited on the show who would have won Emmys in past years did not get one for this episode: Brian Kelley, Co-Executive Producer J. Stewart Burns, Co-Executive Producer Michael Price, Co-Executive Producer George Meyer, Producer Ron Hauge, Producer Tom Gammill, Producer Max Pross, Producer Mike Scully, Producer David Mirkin, Producer Mike Reiss, Producer Marc Wilmore, Producer Richard Raynis, "Produced By" Bonita Pietila, , "Produced By" Denise Sirkot, "Produced By" Richard Sakai, "Produced By" John Hyde, Animation Producer In the Music and Lyrics (i.e. Original Song) category, "Everybody Hates Ned Flanders" lost out to "Aren't They All Our Children?" from ABC's "The Concert for World Children's Day". (The other nominees were from "It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie" and two from Nickelodeon's "The Fairly Oddparents" Valentine's Day episode.)

A heavily edited version of the ceremony (squeezing three hours of show plus commercials into two hours) will be on E! on Friday night at 5:00 PM. The current cast of "MadTV" are hosting the awards. Note that because of additional categories (for example, Stunt Direction) added this year, the Academy decided to move 15 of the "individual achievement" awards to a pre-ceremony. Yes, there are now awards that are not good enough for the Creative Arts Emmys. (Actually, the awards to be given on the "pre-show" rotate each year. (This reminds me of a SNL sketch where they had "highlights of the Scientific and Technical Awards", which itself had "highlights of the Awards for Extras".)

Ever notice that "creative arts" categories seem to count in nominations ("Six Feet Under got 16 nominations - see how good it is?"), but when it comes to awards, only the "main" ones seem to count ("The West Wing won for Drama Series and three acting awards! Okay, Six Feet Under won six Emmys overall, but five were in the 'who cares' categories...")

Don Del Grande, [email] Besides, I'm still waiting for them to get to my E-mail telling them that their "Help" screen still says you can click on a channel to get that station's listings for the next 24 hours - another feature they

Don Del, have you tried using zap2it.com? I'm not sure if it goes two full weeks or not, but it lets you search further in advance then seven days.

Similarly, I find that tv.yahoo.com tends to go about 11-12 days into the future; it seems to give you 15 days no matter what, and always seems to have just 2-3 days of back listings...
