BART ADOPTS A NEW PET ON "THE SIMPSONS" SUNDAY, APRIL 24, ON FOX

NASCAR Racer Danica Patrick and Oscar-Winning Actress Rachel Weisz Make Guest Voice Appearances

When a pigeon flies through the Simpsons' home and suffers a broken wing, Bart makes it his duty to care for the bird � whom he names Ray � and nurse it back to health. When Ray is ready to fly, Homer decides to enter him in a bird race when Danica Patrick (guest voicing as herself) appears to him in a dream. Things don't go according to plan, however, when Santa's Little Helper swallows Ray. Worried that Bart needs some help getting over the loss, Marge and Homer take him to a therapy session with Dr. Thurston (guest voice Weisz), who advises that the only cure for Bart's blues is to give away the family dog. But when the Simpsons visit the pup's new home, a shock causes them to rethink their decision in the "How Munched Is That Birdie in the Window" episode of THE SIMPSONS airing Sunday, April 24 (7:00-7:30 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
