TiVo gag on the Simpsons

In the interest of not freaking Simpsons nerds out, I've hidden what some might consider a spoiler from the April 17, 2005 episode below.

update (from Matt): now that it has played out on the west coast, here's a 3.5Mb video clip from the show, demonstrating the tivo sounds and tivo spoof OS of Professor Frink's astrology machine.

Pity the 'spoiler formatting' didn't carry over to the RSS feed. Now this week's Simpsons is ruined for me. ;-)

Didn't work in the RSS feed, but I don't care because I saw the ep first anyways. Just thought you should know that anyone who subscribes to your blog via RSS would've been spoiled...

Rock on! That was a great clip - right down to the Tivo noises :)

Hello?? Most DVR owners don't watch programs when they air. :)

I can't get this video to play. What codec does it use?

It's MPEG2, try using VLC from http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ to open it.
