Whoa - Simpsons apparently running 35-40 minutes late on East Coast - anyone know why??

Well, it was on-time for me (Haverhill, Mass.).

I have two fox stations (green bay, wi, and Marquette, MI)... on time in Marquette, late in GB for the football game

Mike, not meaning to change the subject, but do you happen to know what that music is that is played during UPN's "Nightlife" commercials? (you know, that techno music that plays during the commercials when they show some of the station's sit-coms)

I just wanted to know if it was generic original work or could I buy a CD of it at the new Best Buy or not. Thanks.

I got it on time here (Philadelphia), along with the rest of the Sunday night lineup (starting with KOTH at 7). Maybe your city had a local football game it had to cover first?

Thanks to all for responding.... Fox - New York WNYW was late. Glad to hear most if not all of you were on schedule!

Now, about that episode....

It's called "Football".

So much for the "we'll hold The Simpsons until baseball is over so there'll be no interruptions" thing. I'd forgotten that we now have to put up with delays for the next few months due to a different sport.

They tried to do a live broadcast, but found it was a terrible strain on the animators' wrists....
