BART RULES!
BART BACKS GORE -- SUBLIMINALLY
Although Mike Scully, executive producer of The Simpsons, tells TV Guide Online that he's not trying to get even with George Bush Sr. for once blaming his show for "what's wrong with America," a scene in the opening of next Sunday night's episode of the animated sitcom clearly plug's the younger Bush's opponent. According to TV Guide, the scene will show Bart Simpson writing over and over on a blackboard, "I will not plant subliminal messagores."

A special episode of The Simpsons and the series premiere of the critically slammed Normal, Ohio combined to draw bigger ratings for Fox in the 8:00-9:00 p.m. period on Wednesday than the World Series had in the same hour a week earlier. The Simpsons special posted a 6.3 rating and an 18 share, beating CBS's Bette, starring Bette Midler (3.6/10) and NBC's Titans (2.8/8), but proving to be no match for Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, which jumped to a 13.9/22. Next week, Fox plans to air Malcolm in the Middle in the time period (setting up a Middle vs. Midler rivalry).
