Fox animation schedule for December 20, 2009

Simpsons:

The Simpson family takes a trip to the Mapple Store at the Springfield Mall where Lisa gets her very own Mypod, and Bart interrupts an announcement from Steve Mobbs with his own voiceover, causing pandemonium to break loose in the store. On his way home from the mall, Bart narrowly escapes punishment and befriends a Muslim boy named Bashir. Homer becomes suspicious of Bart’s new friend and invites Bashir, his mother (guest voice Aghdashloo) and his father over for dinner so he can investigate their supposed anti-American sentiments. When Homer goes to their home to apologize, he instead snoops around their house, a la Jack Bauer, and uncovers what he believes to be a terrorist plot to blow up the Springfield Mall in the “Mypods and Boomsticks” episode of THE SIMPSONS airing Sunday, Dec. 20 (8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (SI-1920) (TV-PG D, V)

A neglected Ernie becomes too attached to the family, leaving Cleveland to call child services to have Ernie taken back home. When the plan backfires, Cleveland helps Lester get his son back in “The One about Friends” episode of THE CLEVELAND SHOW airing Sunday, Dec. 20 (8:30-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
