Last night's Simpsons made me wonder: Can TV producers pick and choose the reruns they show based on current events? Yesterday, the episode where the comet is going to hit Springfield was on--coincidentally less than a week after the meteorite hit the south suburbs. Was this changed? I mean, it's a good episode, but it made me curious...any TV execs out there want to chime in?

That thought also made me depressed that I'll never (until the DVD comes out) see the episode when Homer goes to New York to get his car, which is booted outside the World Trade Center. That was an excellent recent-season episode. And, I've heard this past Sunday's episode was hilarious, but I missed it and forgot to tape it. It figures. :)
