Sorry this is a little late, but expect the next few to be late; when Fox doesn't publish its "three weeks from now" schedule, I have to wait until Monday to find out what the episode is about
10/4 - Bart Gets a "Z" (LABF15) Mrs. Krabappel is fired after being found drunk, and is replaced with "Mr. Z", a trendy teacher, but Bart feels responsible for getting Mrs. Krabappel fired (mainly because he talked the others into spiking her coffee in retaliation for her confiscating their cellphones) and tries to get her back
10/11 - The Great Wife Hope (LABF16) Mixed Martial Arts Mania hits Springfield's men, so Marge forms a protest group, and the promoter makes her a deal: Marge vs. the promoter in the ring, and if Marge wins, the promotion gets shut down
10/18 - DOUBLE FEATURE ---------------------- 7:30 - Treehouse of Horror XIX (KABF16) Homer kills people when he discovers their likenesses can be used for free in commercials; robots that can, well, transform into other things (but don't call them Transformers) stop fighting each other, and start fighting humans; "It's the Grand Pumpkin, Milhouse," and he's not in a good mood when he sees all of the dead pumpkins turned into Jack-O'Lanterns * Cities in the Eastern and Central time zones that get a 4:05 Eastern NFL game on Fox, including Philadelphia, may get this episode in progress
8:00 - Treehouse of Horror XX In a black-and-white segment, kids all over the world complain that there's something wrong with their TV...actually, Bart and Lisa are involved in murder caused by a prank gone too far; Moe's new microbrew makes people more romantic, thanks to its secret ingredient - Homer's blood; and, when Krusty puts mad cow meat into his Krustyburgers, it turns people into The Living Impaired - er, Zombies
10/25 - if the baseball American League Championship Series goes seven games, Fox will air game seven of that series, pre-empting the show; otherwise, expect a repeat (episode to be announced)
11/1 - PRE-EMPTED for World Series Game 4
Note that if Sunday night baseball game is scheduled but rained out or has a lengthy rain delay, Fox may try to sneak in a Simpsons episode
STUFF for "Homer the Whopper" (LABF13)
