Upcoming Episodes - what, TWO new episodes in this edition?
Don Del Grande
9:30 - A Tale Of Two Santas (3ACV03)
In the long-awaited-but-considered-too-violent-for-7:00 second
Christmas episode, Fry, Leela, and Bender deliver Children's letters
to Santa to his headquarters on Neptune, where they help the elves
take over the factory, but they need a robot to deliver the toys, so
Bender dresses up as Santa and makes his rounds...to an Earth that
still treats Santa as evil
("What is Fox showing at 7:00?" Reruns of the first two "King of the
Hill" Christmas specials)
12/30 - Luck of the Fryrish (3ACV04)
Fry goes back into the depths of the ruins of New York City to find
his lucky seven-leaf clover after he discovers that his brother
apparently "borrowed" it on the road to great success
In most cities in the Eastern and Central time zone, whether or not
this episode is "joined in progress" depends on whether or not the
local Fox station shows the 4:05 Fox football game (the only one is
New York at Philadelphia) or a 1:00 game.
The cities that don't get a choice this time are:
(* indicates that it may change status if the local game is blacked
out, but don't count on it)
Full episode: Atlanta, Charlotte*, Chicago, Dallas*, Detroit*,
Green Bay*, Miami*, Minneapolis
In progress if sold out, full episode if blacked out: Philadelphia
(this is because if the game is blacked out, there is no other Fox
game at 4:05, so the Philadelphia station has to show a 1:00 game)
In Progress: Buffalo, Cincinnati*, Cleveland, Indianapolis,
Jacksonville*, Kansas City, Memphis*, New York,
Pittsburgh, St. Louis*
1/6 - Anthology of Interest 2 (3ACV18)
What if...well, I'm not absolutely sure what the stories are, but
from what I posted last May,...
...Bender was human?
...Fry's life was more like a video game?
...Leela found her home world?
One of these is a "The Wizard of Oz" parody (I would guess the Leela
story)
You know the routine...note that there's only one game on Fox that
starts at 4:05 Eastern (Atlanta at St. Louis), so cities outside of
NFL teams' home markets get to choose on their own whether to show
that game or a 1:00 game (Arizona-Washington, Dallas-Detroit,
Green Bay-NY Giants, Philadelphia-Tampa Bay, San Francisco-New
Orleans). The cities that don't get a choice are:
(* indicates that it may change status if the local game is blacked
out, but don't count on it)
Full episode: Chicago*, Dallas, Detroit*, Green Bay, Jacksonville,
Kansas City, New Orleans*, New York*, Philadelphia,
Tampa*, Washington*
In progress if sold out, full episode if blacked out: St. Louis
In Progress: Atlanta, Boston, Buffalo, Charlotte*, Cincinnati,
Indianapolis, Memphis*, Miami
1/13 - Looking at the NFL standings going into week 15, it would
be almost impossible for two AFC west-coast teams to host
games in the first round, so Fox will almost certainly show
a 4:15 Eastern game that Sunday, and Fox will not schedule
any episode in the eastern half of the country (the western
half would get an older rerun, as usual).
1/20 - There has to be at least one AFC game played in the east
somewhere, as two AFC division champions have to host games
this weekend (one on Saturday, one on Sunday), so don't
expect an episode in the east today either.
1/27 - Expect more of the usual, UNLESS the AFC Championship ends up
in Oakland (and the NFC Championship is not in San Francisco),
in which case CBS would most likely show the 4:15 game that
day (as they did last year), and Fox could schedule a new
episode (although they would have only one week's notice).
2/3 - Fox will show the Super Bowl followed by an hour of "Malcolm
in the Middle".

Wouldn't it probably be the Bender/Human thing? I seem to recall
one of Dorothys helpers was a robot who wished he was human.

Data wanted to be human, but he just settled for that stupid emotion chip.

Nope, it's the Leela story - Mom's the evil witch, and Leela finally
clicks her hell together to say "there's no place like h...."
:looks at angry people who are ready to stone him for telling the
ending:
Erm, hmmm, read you later,
Leandro.
