After tonight you wont be seeing a new episode of The Simpsons until at least January 9th next year. Fox will be showing a series of reruns and for the first week of 2005 the show will be pre-empted for a double episode of 24. So you’ll be a fool to miss out on tonight’s new episode titled ‘Fat Man And Little Boy’. When Bart loses his last baby tooth, his solution to his “ten-year-old’s midlife crisis” is to start writing slogans on T-shirts, and soon he’s a gag T-shirt salesman, much to the dismay of Homer, who thinks that with Bart bringing in income, Homer is no longer needed. This episode will see Eric Idle reprise his role of Declan Desmond, who proved popular when he appeared in Season 14’s ‘Scuse Me While I Miss The Sky’. We’ll see how this episode fares in the ratings against still competition including Survivor tomorrow.
