can you please let me know when FOX moved The Simpsons to Sunday Night.

Actually, the series was on Sunday nights for the first season (Dec. 1989-
Aug. 1990), at 8:30 p.m. Then, in Aug. 1990, it was moved to Thursday nights at 8:00 p.m. (opposite NBC's The Cosby Show). In 1992, NBC moved Cosby's hit show to the 8:30 time slot, but The Simpsons remained on Fox's Thursday night schedule at 8:00 p.m., until it was shifted to Sundays in August, 1994. It has remained on Sundays nights since, usually in the 8:00 p.m. time slot (although, from January to February 1995, it did air at 7:00 p.m.).

I always thought Sunday was the worst time to air new episodes of the Simpsons. Here's why-

- football. I love watching football (go Eagles, Steelers, and Ravens!) but games tend to go into overtime, and that interferes with the Simpsons.

- lots of holidays like Easter, Mother's Day and Father's Day make it hard to watch new episodes because I'm usually not around watching TV on those days.

- other stations tend to air some really good shows on Sunday night, such as CBS and NBC.

- WWE pay per views air on Sunday nights.

I'd love if they moved the show back to Thursday.
