** SPECIAL NIGHT AND TIME ** WEDNESDAY, 1/13, 9:30 PM - Fox will be repeating "Once Upon a Time in Springfield" as the first two episodes of "Our Little Genius" have been pulled from the schedule after producer Mark Burnett discovered that some of the contestants may have been given additional information (not the answers, but possibly some of the questions, or at least a more specific description of the scope of the questions)
1/17 - PRE-EMPTED for an encore showing of the "Human Target" premiere (followed by the usual 2-hour "24" season premiere)
1/24 - PRE-EMPTED for the NFC Championship Game (local programming will air after the game in the west)
1/31 - Million Dollar Maybe (LABF03) Homer wins a million dollars in the lottery, but he can't even tell Marge out of fear that she'll get mad at him (because he was supposed to be attending a wedding with her at the time he bought the ticket) * In production order, this is the 450th episode
As for the following two weeks, 2/7 is Super Bowl Sunday (on CBS), so expect a repeat; 2/14 is Daytona 500 day (on Fox), so expect a new episode

GOOFS / FREEZE FRAME / WHATNOT Fox promoted this as the 450th episode, but it was the 451st to air and the 449th in production order. It is the 450th episode to air since the show started as a series (so the Christmas Special "doesn't count"); similar "Fox creative accounting" was done to make GABF10 the 350th episode. The 100th, 168th, 200th, and 250th episodes were based on airing order, including the Christmas Special (the 250th was also 250th in production order, again including the Christmas Special); the 300th was based on production order and not including the Christmas Special (it was the 302nd to air - something referenced in the episode).
The three donuts at the end were different when they were in the box, but they were the same when Homer, Lenny, and Carl were eating them.
