Wasn't this a Simpsons episode?

On: Geologists Might Be Charged For Not Predicting Quake

One from many seasons ago - when a giant comet was going to impact and presumably destroy Springfield. When it didn't happen (because it burned up in the atmosphere to the size of a Chihuahua's head), the townsfolk then shouted: "Let's go burn down the observatory so this never happens again!"
