"The President Wore Pearls" can't make the cutoff...can it?

SNPP is slating "The President Wore Pearls" as the possible season finale, which is...pretty much an impossibility. It's episode EAFB20, while, midway through January, we're just getting EABF03 -- with no other episodes until February.

Can anyone formulate any type of guess as to how many new episodes will be shown until May's season finale?

They could be going nuts with the episode order because they feel it will be a good finale; they did that a little with the end of the 2Fs so Who Shot Mr. Burns? would work out (15, 18, 19, 32*, 21, 22, 16, [summer] 20, 17)... *don't pay attention to 2F32's existence here; those >24 p-codes never follow the order

We have had 8 episodes so far, and they technically can get about 20-22 per season, so I imagine it will be about 13-14 episodes left this season. We will have all new episodes next month and I do believe number 300 will be moved up to Feb. 2 for sweeps numbers.

I think seeing the episodes on the below page, either "Dude, Where's My Ranch" or "Moe Baby Blues" will be the season finale. I could be wrong though.

Treehouse of Horror XIV will probably be the first episode of Season 15 and it's episode EABF21, so I don't see a problem with EABF20 being the Season 14 finale.

Last season saw 22 episodes, with 8 shown so far, maybe we could see 14 more this season. But the next new episode is Feb. 16.... On February 16, 2002 we had already seen 10 new episodes. Can they show 14 new episodes in just three months? Maybe but then they could decide to have a short 21 episode season like Season 12.
