Upcoming Episodes plus STUFF for "The Great Louse Detective" (EABF01)

12/22 - She of Little Faith (DABF02)
    When Reverend Lovejoy's church has to sell ads (to pay for the
    damage caused by Homer and Bart's model rocket), Lisa decides
    to look elsewhere for spiritual enlightenment - and ends up
    becoming a Buddhist

12/29 - PRE-EMPTED for "Die Hard with a Vengeance"

Upcoming "Futurama" Episodes
-----------------------------------------------------------
12/22 - NEW EPISODE - Taste of Freedom (4ACV05)
    Dr. Zoidberg spends Freedom Day inside his race's embassy when
    he's chased after he celebrates his freedom by eating an Earth
    flag
And now, for the LAST TIME (since this is the last time there will
be a choice of games - 12/29 is a doubleheader day, and after that
the playoffs begin, with Fox showing everybody the same game on
each Sunday), here is the list of Eastern and Central time zone cities
that don't get to choose whether to show a 1:00 (Eastern) game or a
4:05 one (note the only 4:05 game is St. Louis at Seattle):
Definitely a full episode - Chicago, Detroit, New Orleans, New York
Probably a full episode (*definitely a full episode if the game is
  sold out) - Atlanta*, Baltimore*, Charlotte*, Cincinnati*,
  Cleveland, Indianapolis*
Probably "in progress" (*definitely in progress if the game is sold
  out) - Buffalo, Houston, Jacksonville*, Kansas City* (almost
  certainly in KC, as the Fox station probably wants to show the Rams
  game at 3:05), Nashville, Washington*
Definitely "in progress": Green Bay, St. Louis

12/29 - Pre-empted in the east for NFL football; the west will get -
        well, the listings say "Crimes of the Hot" (when there's no
        more ice to do the usual global warming fix of dropping a
        giant ice cube into the ocean, Al Gore hosts a global warming
        conference where Professor Farnsworth reveals that it's being
        caused by robots), but it doesn't sound right for Fox to air
        a current-season repeat if only the western half of the
        country will see it

1/ 5 - Pre-empted by an NFL first-round playoff game, although they may air a repeat in the west

1/12 - According to the NFL's schedule, the only game on Fox that
       day is scheduled to begin at 1:00 PM Eastern (and since it
       is impossible for both NFC games that weekend to be in Pacific
       time zone cities, I don't think this will change), so there
       should be an episode for everybody - presumably, a new one

1/19 - According to the NFL's schedule, the only game on Fox that
       day is scheduled to begin at 3:00 PM Eastern, and even if it
       is played in San Francisco or Seattle, a noon local time start
       is not a problem, so lacking a four-hour marathon (which is not
       unheard of, especially recently), everybody should get an
       episode; whether it is a new one or not remains to be seen
       (although if it is a repeat of one of this season's episodes
       and it ends up "in progress" again, expect a lot of yelling
       from those cities that didn't get that episode in full the
       first time)

1/26 - Probably a repeat, as it is Super Bowl Sunday (and the Super Bowl is not on Fox this year)

REVIEW: B - this episode kept going back and forth. Yawn, the Simpsons have been invited somewhere and somebody is trying to kill Homer - that Sideshow Bob bit is starting out pretty good - let's see how long it's going to take to turn the shock bracelet into a rake scene - the Mardi Gras bit starts out pretty good - I thought "The Simpsons" had gotten over those "Fry - ER, UH, Homer gets saved at the last second" endings - I didn't see the Frank Grimes Jr. bit coming - usually, I'm the guy that likes the musical numbers, but the one at the end of this show stuck out like a sore thumb.

DYN
...Sideshow Bob didn't step on any rakes?
...The George Foreman mail sorter knew to put Patty & Selma's party
   invitation in the "bad" pile?
...Chief Wiggum has a Rubik's Cube on his desk?
...nobody noticed that Sideshow Bob had the shock control (right
   after "That '30s Show")?
...when Homer listed his enemies, he listed references to the show
   (assuming "The State of Florida" was BABF16)...plus "the fat little
   Dixie Chick"?

lisa is a logical buddhist choice she talked zen in the minigolf one

Next time, don't quote the whole damn post and reply with *2* lines.

interesting observation, and one that i will take seriously especially since your website is filled with useful information of interest to everyone, like:

"Finals have been kicking my butt royally. I had an exam today for H105(American History I) which I didn't get to studying for till last night. I think I did pretty good though. I'll probably get the B I had before. I've got one for a math class on Friday, but math and I are like this. (Imagine my fingers twisted together). Plus, it's more of a review course for me. This week stil wasn't as rough as last week, when I had to turn in TWO writing portfolios. BLAH!"

i like the emphasis on the word blah - i mean, that says it all. grimey must be your favorite character, as your site also makes reference to your "rough childhood." which is, of course, manifested in your ignorant postings on ats and attempts to air your laundry online.

posting from childhood? - today we had waffles for breakfast, me and martin jumped rope for a while then we cried and played barbies and house.
