Thumbs up FIRST TV Special!
Ohh man!

Apparently FOX television is in trouble due to the "low-brow" content of their prime-time programming. In order to counter the effect of such shows as "Paradise Hotel" FOX has been ordered to include more educational programming in their prime-time lineup. (I think they were issued a quota of 1 hour per month).

So...
What does this mean?

FOX is in negotiations with FIRST to do an hour long Simpsons special in which Bart is forced onto a local FIRST team because of his prankster hijinx. I don't know many details but, I'm sure we'll be hearing more about it real soon...

Has anyone else heard more about this? Anyone got a neighbor who works for FOX or something?
