1/19 - SPECIAL TIME - 7:00 - Helter Shelter (DABF21)
    The Simpsons need a place to stay while their house is being
    fumigated, but the only place they can go is on a reality TV
    show where they have to live like people did in 1895
1/26 - PRE-EMPTED for "Independence Day" (did you expect Fox to
       air the 300th episode - or any new episode, for that matter -
       at the same time as the Super Bowl?)
Upcoming "Futurama" Episodes
-----------------------------------------------------------
1/19 - PRE-EMPTED for a Simpsons repeat (so they can air "There's
       Something About Mary" at 7:30)

1/26 - PRE-EMPTED for "Independence Day"

STUFF for "The Dad Who Knew Too Little" (EABF03) ------------------------------------------------ Written by Matt Selman Directed by Mark Kirkland Special Guest Voice: Elliott Gould Also Starring: Tress MacNeille, Karl Wiedergott Blackboard: none Couch: in black and white, everybody is dressed in early 20th century clothing and watching a TV while on a moving girder Overseas Animation: Rough Draft Rating: TV-PG-V

REVIEW: C-plus - this one was boring AND had one of those "somebody
        is just about to kill Homer, oh wait, something surprising/
        ironic happens, Homer lives, tack on some stupid last scene,
        roll the credits" endings.

REFERENCES "Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice" (Elliott Gould says it as he hits Krusty) "Moll Flanders" (Ned is a "Mall Flanders") "The Traveling Wilburys" (Homer asks Lisa which one is her favorite) PETA (PTETA) "The Powerpuff Girls" (Lisa thought she looked like one) 7F24 (Lisa's eighth birthday) 9F09 (Krusty's head is white but the rest of his body is yellow) 3F21 (Homer absorbs a camera shot with his stomach)

POSSIBLE REFERENCES "Mommie Nearest" ("Children don't remember bad birthdays, do they?") "The Fugitive" ("Would an innocent person flee?")

DYN
...Turbodiary sounds like the Moviefone guy?
...Rod has diabetes?
...when Marge asked Homer why he didn't buy the diary, Homer had a
   legitimate excuse (the store was sold out) and a witness (Bart),
   but didn't use it?
...the power plant was shown without a crow call?  (Then again, it
   wasn't the aerial shot of the towers)
...Chief Wiggum's police car had red and yellow, but not blue, lights?
...Lou has an ex-wife (named Amy)?
...somebody is going to point out that "that one's too obvious to be
   on a DYN list"?
...Maggie fell once?

GOOFS / FREEZE FRAME / WHATNOT

Not *that* legitimate. Had Homer not goofed around so much, he surely would have gotten the last one rather than Mr. Burns.
