3/25 - PRE-EMPTED
Fox is airing the movie "True Lies" (Fox is not about to "waste" a
new episode against the Academy Awards, even if they're still
showing the Barbara Walters interview in the east at this time)


4/1 - Simpson Safari (CABF13)
Tom Kane guest voices as Darwin the chimpanzee from "The Wild
Thornberrys" as </APRIL FOOL> (okay, I know it's still March, but
I couldn't hold out)
Seriously, the Simpsons win a trip to Africa, where they end up in
the crossfire between a chimpanzee researcher and poachers


4/8 - The Great Money Caper (CABF03)
Homer and Bart go into the not particularly wonderful world of
not particularly high-stakes grifting...and soon find themselves
in the "big leagues"

Upcoming "Futurama" Episodes
-----------------------------------------------------------
3/25 - PRE-EMPTED
Fox is airing the movie "True Lies"


4/1 - The Cyber House Rules (3ACV09)
At a reunion at Leela's orphanage, Leela gets a second eye from
a doctor who was the bully when they grew up, while Bender,
enticed by a government credit, adopts 12 kids


4/8 - Insane in the Mainframe (3ACV11)
Fry and Bender plead insanity when charged with a bank robbery
that they didn't do, and end up at an asylum for robots

"Hey, why does Futurama get a new episode while The Simpsons gets a
repeat?" Because from November through January, there were 11 new
Simpsons episodes and only four new Futuramas (whenever Fox showed
an NFL doubleheader on Sunday, they showed a repeat, and even that
was only in the Mountain and Pacific time zones).

Here are the remaining titles of each show that I have:

The Simpsons:
Trilogy of Error
I'm Goin' to Praiseland
The Kids Stay in the Picture
Simpsons Tall Tales
Hunka Hunka Burns in Love
Futurama:
Where the Buggalo Roam
The Route of All Evil
The Times They Are A-Bendin'
Time Keeps On Slippin'
I Dated a Robot
A Leela of Her Own
A Pharoah to Remember
Anthology of Interest II

If you don't count 4/29 (when Fox is pre-empting its entire Sunday
lineup for "Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace" - and watch Fox
put up its split-screen credits at the end so you don't hear the
sound of Vader breathing right at the end), there are five Sundays
from 4/15 until the season ends on 5/20, so Fox can show new episodes
of each show the rest of the way - and still have two Futuramas left
over.

Call me traditional, but I always thought that if there were eight
Futurama episodes and five Sundays left, then that means there would
be THREE Futuramas left over - unless that's a subliminal message to
get Fox to show two "Futuramas" on Sunday during May sweeps...

Then again, I don't have anything better to do on Saturday mornings...

That was only in theatrical release. I don't think it'll play for TV.

No, it'll be the second last episode of the season. CABF19,20,21& 22 are the
holdovers. (Of course, it could be like Insane Clown Poppy where development
problems pushes it into 13.)

If the writers strike happens, what if the stated original five episodes are
all holdovers? In that case, one more has to be held over.

Well, I'm certain they'll do about 4 or 5 DABF episodes before the strike.
