Season Premiere - September 10th with Metallica

Just read about this. Any leaked graphics yet ?

I thought it was "Quiet Riot".

Season premiere is always the THOH episode, which usually isn't shown until the week of H.

Whatever happened to "Ratt?"

You mean A week AFTER H. :(

Yeah. It appears to be quite out of sync up here as well.

I don't know why it is so difficult to get the THOH episode in front of Halloween, especially when they're starting the season in September. I know it's a stupid thing to get upset about, but...

Perhaps they'll air it on the 29th of October this year...

Because: (a) they don't want to air it too far before Halloween; (b) Fox has post-season baseball scheduled for the last four Sundays in October each year, and they're not about to hype a new episode only to have it pre-empted because the World Series ran seven games (they had enough problems with having to delay a King of the Hill Thanksgiving episode by a year, and re-air a Christmas episode on a Monday after only the last five minutes aired in most of the country, because of long-running NFL games); (c) they don't want to air it on a day besides Sunday (no matter how many times they mention a "special day and time", enough people will miss it that Fox will be bombarded with complaints (Bombardment! Bombardment! Halloween Special - Double Bombardment!!).

(And I wouldn't be surprised if a major reason was: (d) THOH episodes tend to be popular, and November Sweeps doesn't start until the day after the last Sunday in October.)

Not in 2005 - the season started September 11, and three new episodes aired in September. SimpsonsChannel reports that new eps will air September 10 and September 17. (Also, there is a chance that repeats will air at 7:00 (or 7:30, until King Of The Hill starts its new season in December); the Fox schedule says "Comedy Encores", which could also mean "instant repeats" of its two new live-action series. (Of course, on Fox's NFL doubleheader days, "The O.T." (the postgame show) airs until 8:00, and Fox digs something up to air in the western half of the country.)

I haven't heard anything about Quiet Riot. Perhaps both ?

Global never calls the THOH episodes season premieres (up here in Canada), even though they have aired before the ones they did claim were season premieres. I'm guessing they consider the THOH specials...

We were just joking... I think.

I believe you are right; the season premieres are not Halloween episodes. It's just that for a long time, those were the first ones to air, so we got used to thinking that way.

Is Quiet Riot still around ? I'm not a Quiet Riot fan so I wouldn't know. :)

Yes, though with a mostly new lineup.

Metallica?? I love bands!
