** SPECIAL NIGHT  AND TIME **
WEDNESDAY, 1/13, 9:30 PM - Fox will be repeating "Once Upon a Time in
Springfield" as the first two episodes of "Our Little Genius" have
been pulled from the schedule after producer Mark Burnett discovered
that some of the contestants may have been given additional
information (not the answers, but possibly some of the questions, or
at least a more specific description of the scope of the questions)


1/17 - PRE-EMPTED for an encore showing of the "Human Target" premiere
(followed by the usual 2-hour "24" season premiere)


1/24 - PRE-EMPTED for the NFC Championship Game (local programming
will air after the game in the west)


1/31 - Million Dollar Maybe (LABF03)
Homer wins a million dollars in the lottery, but he can't even tell
Marge out of fear that she'll get mad at him (because he was supposed
to be attending a wedding with her at the time he bought the ticket)
* In production order, this is the 450th episode


As for the following two weeks, 2/7 is Super Bowl Sunday (on CBS), so
expect a repeat; 2/14 is Daytona 500 day (on Fox), so expect a new
episode

GOOFS / FREEZE FRAME / WHATNOT
Fox promoted this as the 450th episode, but it was the 451st to air
and the 449th in production order.  It is the 450th episode to air
since the show started as a series (so the Christmas Special "doesn't
count"); similar "Fox creative accounting" was done to make GABF10 the
350th episode.
The 100th, 168th, 200th, and 250th episodes were based on airing
order, including the Christmas Special (the 250th was also 250th in
production order, again including the Christmas Special); the 300th
was based on production order and not including the Christmas Special
(it was the 302nd to air - something referenced in the episode).

The three donuts at the end were different when they were in the box,
but they were the same when Homer, Lenny, and Carl were eating them.
