A quick check of my usual sources for upcoming <i>Simpsons</i> episodes doesn't mention anything along those lines, but we're at a point in their schedule where info about future episodes is still vague and hard to come by. If I find anything more out, I'll let you know.Austin Gortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281239771248780430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266470995513648978.post-38326198964876084292011-07-30T18:03:37.858-05:002011-07-30T18:03:37.858-05:00Hello Mister!
