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.
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.
