And the Simpsons Treehouse of Horror will be IN NOVEMBER

[Rabrrrrrr]

Yep, November 5 -- All Soul's/All Saint's Day - will be the treehouse of horror episode, a full 5 days after Halloween.

Yeah, that makes a WHOLE lot of fuckin' sense.

:eyes:

Thanks, baseball.

1. Been that way for years.

2. Nov. 1 is All Saint's Day, Nov. 2 is All Soul's Day

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. I meant, the Sunday that it gets celebrated.

But of course, yes, you are correct.

6. Sorry!

Ex Catholic, and my birthday is 11/2.

4. I feel ya, Rabrrrrrrr. I am a huge baseball fan (no pun intended) but

I detest pre-emption. The reason the WS runs all the way through October is because baseball is FUCKED. They expanded from four divisions to six. Instead of the league championship series - in which the winners of the west div. and east div. played each other - now we have to have effing wild cards* along w/ three divisional winners. Creating MORE GAMES. Extending the playoffs beyond what is logical.

What a bunch of assholes. More games = more advertising = more money.

And don't get me started on the god damned designated hitter.

* Yes, I know my team was the wild card & went & won the Series. What of it? :hide:

5. Is there no end to the traumas you must suffer?

Next they'll be pouring apple juice into their Martinis and letting Fundie Republicans run the country.

[Rabrrrrrr]

7. Nah, this country isn't so dumb as to let Republicans be in charge.

I don't think it will ever happen.


And no, there is no end to my traumas. At least, it seems like it.

:cry:

8. They have ALWAYS been in November

Even before they had baseball. The reason is November is sweeps month, and those are reliably high-rated Simpsons episodes.

It has always bothered me too, but baseball can't be blamed. It's a Nielsen thing.

[Rabrrrrrr]

9. While your logic is impeccable, it still belies the truth

that I am in anti-baseball mood. The truth, at this point, is ruining my fun.

Party pooper.

Typical liberal, hiding behind the facts and disappating my emotionally stunted need for mere truthiness.

10. Simpsons or not: fuck baseball.

[Rabrrrrrr]

11. Damn right!

I always trust the Canadian viewpoint, especially when it concurs with my own.

:yourock:

12. No one looks forward to the Simpsons

more than me but they can wait for the Tigers
to become world champs. Their comedy isn't "holiday" dependant.

13. No Kiddin'. Prison Break Is All Fucked Up Too

I have to wait, wait wait, till one of my favorite shows is back on, but it'll be worth it : )
