FOX NETWORK SCHEDULE

February 7 • O Brother, Where Bart Thou? (MABF01)
Lisa tells Bart that he'll never have the kind of bond she has with Maggie because he doesn't have a brother, and when Bart's attempts to get Homer to do something about it fail, he takes matters into his own hands by trying to get a brother from the orphanage

February 14 • Boy Meets Curl (MABF05)
"The Simpsons are going to..." Vancouver, to compete in the 2010 Olympics ER, UH, some generically named international winter sporting event when Homer, Marge, Principal Skinner, and his mother win the right to represent the USA in curling, thanks to Marge being a natural at the sport (and in spite of Homer being a natural disaster), but will Marge put winning before her husband and have him replaced with someone better (like, say, Bart - no, wait, that's "Tennis the Menace")?; Lisa gets involved in collectible pin trading - a little too involved

February 21 • The Color Yellow
Lisa discovers that some of her ancestors who lived in the Southern USA during slavery helped a slave escape to freedom
There is a slight chance that the episode will be delayed in the Eastern and Central time zones because of a NASCAR race on Fox that day

February 28 • The Devil Wears Nada (LABF17)
When Marge decides to pose for a charity calendar, the camera takes a liking to her, and when it turns into an all-Marge calendar, she's the talk of the town; Carl gets a promotion and hires Homer as his personal assistant
There is a slight chance that the episode will be delayed in the Eastern and Central time zones because of a NASCAR race on Fox that day (this is the last "late" Sunday race on Fox, except for the Coca-Cola 600 the day before Memorial Day which will pre-empt Fox's lineup anyway)

AMERICAN SYNDICATION SCHEDULE

Twentieth Television, the United States syndication distributor of The Simpsons, terminated its "barter" scheduling of the series in 1999. Accordingly, stations showing the series in syndication now possess full control over local scheduling, making national listings a thing of the past.

Regrettably, we cannot provide listings for the hundreds of stations now independently programming the syndicated airings in their local markets. Fans should instead refer to online television listings services such as Zap2it, Yahoo or TV Guide for local information. For a handy list of syndication stations in the United States and Canada, also see Ben Tegarden's Syndication Stations and Times reference guide.

UNSCHEDULED EPISODES ON FOX

These episodes will be part of the twentieth season. Some listed air dates may change due to unforseen circumstances.

KABF15 - Lost Verizon - Written by John Frink - Airdate: October 5th, 2008
In order to save up money to buy a cell phone, Bart takes a job at a country club retrieving golf balls. While at the course, Bart watches celebrities, including Dennis Leary (guest-starring as himself) playing a round. When Leary's cell phone rings just as he is about to take a swing, he furiously throws the phone in the air and it lands right next to Bart. Bart decides to keep the cell and makes prank calls to all over the world pretending to be Leary. He even accepts a job offer from famed producer Brian Grazer (also guesting as himself) to star in the film version of "Everyone Poops." When Marge discovers what Bart has been up to, she confiscates the device and calls Leary to return the phone. But Leary has a better idea, and instructs Marge to activate the GPS system on the phone so she can track Bart's every move. Bart quickly catches on and devises a plan that sends the family on a wild goose chase all the way to Machu Picchu.

[Description currently unknown]

KABF16 - Treehouse of Horror XIX - Airdate: November 2nd, 2008

Additional notes:

Other guest stars this season include Merl Reagle, Shohreh Aghdashloo, and Marv Albert. There is also an unconfirmed December episode, with guest stars Jeff Bezos (CEO of Amazon.com) and Mark Cuban (Dallas Mavericks owner), where Mr. Burns wins a basketball team in a poker game. This episode will also have something to do with bee sanctuaries.

LABF1? - Treehouse of Horror XX - Airdate: November 2009
This episode will be part of season 21, and so far we know one segment will be a send-up of modern day zombie movies, such as 28 Days Later. Although, in this case, the "zombies" are actually just the victims of Krusty Burger's latest sandwich.
