Bart Simpson Chalks Up 300th Episode
Watch Bart Simpson scrawl his 300th "I will not" lesson at his school chalkboard this Sunday, February 16, 2003 at 8:00 pm on FOX as THE SIMPSONS will air its historic 300th episode during a special 90-minute presentation. "Barting Over" shows Bart splitting from the family when he discovers Homer spent money Bart unknowingly earned to pay off a blackmailer to get back photos of Homer dangling Bart as a baby over the railing of a hotel balcony. Bart moves into a downtown loft and hangs with his new neighbor, legendary skateboarder Tony Hawk until Homer becomes a skateboarding hero himself. The series is now in its 14th season and has recently been renewed for two more years. When that contract concludes in spring 2005, the show will have become the longest-running sitcom ever. Animation is produced by Film Roman (originally by Klasky Csupo), for Gracie Films Prod. in association with 20th Century Fox Television.
