As i’ve posted previously, the 400th episode of The Simpsons (or was it 399th?) will be a 24 parody called “24 Minutes” starring Kiefer and Mary Lynn
Anyway, a brief clip from it has surfaced on the web. The episode airs this sunday on Fox in the U.S. and i’m sure a U.K. airing on Sky One can’t be far behind.
