    "SPRINGFIELD OF DREAMS: THE LEGEND OF HOMER SIMPSON" AIRS SUNDAY,
    OCTOBER 22, ON FOX

    Documentary Honors 25th Anniversary of THE SIMPSONS' "Homer at the
    Bat"

    Wednesday, October 18, 2017 - Twenty-five years after THE SIMPSONS'
    "Homer at the Bat" originally aired, America's favorite family once
    again forays into America's favorite pastime. In advance of the
    network's 20th year broadcasting the World Series, FOX Sports today
    announced that a comedic "Simpsonized" documentary, SPRINGFIELD OF
    DREAMS: THE LEGEND OF HOMER SIMPSON, will air adjacent to regional NFL broadcasts on Sunday, Oct. 22 on FOX. The World Series, presented by
    YouTube TV, begins Tuesday, Oct. 24 on FOX.

    The one-hour special celebrates the legendary episode "Homer at the
    Bat," in addition to Homer Simpson's induction into The National
    Baseball Hall of Fame earlier this year. A satire of Ken Burns' epic documentary, "Baseball," the special features interviews with eight
    Major League Baseball players appearing in the original episode, along
    with baseball historians, sportscasters, and iconic personalities,
    such as FOX Sports' Joe Buck, sports announcer Bob Costas, author
    George Will, Dr. Oz, fashion consultant and television personality Tim
    Gunn and New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio. Current Yankee slugger
    and Major League Baseball AL MVP candidate Aaron Judge also appears in
    the special.

    Additionally, the feature contains six minutes of never-before-seen
    original animation from THE SIMPSONS, including character "interviews"
    with Homer, Moe, Chief Wiggum and Apu, voiced by Dan Castellaneta and
    Hank Azaria.

    Directed by Academy Award nominee Morgan Spurlock, the documentary is
    produced by FOX Sports Originals.

    "We're glad Morgan is strange enough to take this on," said James L.
    Brooks, executive producer, THE SIMPSONS.

    "I love THE SIMPSONS so much and am proud to be reunited with them on
    this incredible special. A special so special that it not only
    celebrates Springfieldian Homer Simpson, but one that reminds us all
    that maybe if we tried a little less, great things can happen," said
    Spurlock.

    FOX Sports features live regionalized NFL coverage at 1:00 PM ET and
    4:05 PM ET with NFL broadcasts available in both competing teams' home
    markets, as well as select additional cities around the country.
    Viewers with an NFL matchup airing at 1:00 PM ET get to watch the
    documentary at 4:30 PM ET; viewers with an NFL matchup airing at 4:05
    PM ET get to watch the documentary at 3:00 PM ET. SPRINGFIELD OF
    DREAMS: THE LEGEND OF HOMER SIMPSON also airs on Friday, Oct. 20 at
    6:00 PM ET on FS1.

    "Collaborating with Morgan Spurlock has been an ideal fit for FOX
    Sports Originals," said Charlie Dixon, FS1/FS2 EVP of Content.
    "Working together has allowed us to showcase our partnership with
    Major League Baseball in a creative and unconventional way."

    The annual Halloween-themed "Treehouse of Horror XXVIII" episode of
    THE SIMPSONS also airs on Oct. 22 (8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT). In the
    episode, Maggie becomes possessed by an ancient demon, Lisa (Yeardley
    Smith) discovers a creepy/perfect version of her family in an
    alternate universe and Homer (Castellaneta) cannibalizes himself. Ben
    Daniels (THE EXORCIST), director William Friedkin ("The Exorcist") and
    chef Mario Batali make guest-voice appearances.

    Nice. Interesting. L.A.'s KCOP13 is showing it instead of KTTV. I know
    KTTV owns KCOP13, but still weird.
