It all depends on how good you are, how long you want the episode to be, and what kind of quality (detail, animation, backgrounds, etc.) you're going for. Also, don't get your hopes up looking for voice actors - if you make a Flash episode, it will have to be silent (with subtitles or comic book-style speech balloons). That said, the best estimate I can give you right now is "a damn while".
Oh, and Fryvilous, the size of decent quality mpeg-encoded episodes has nothing to do with the size of a Flash file. A 20-minute Flash file wouldn't be bigger than 10-15 megs tops; even smaller if the animator knows what he's doing. You'll notice a slight difference in MPEG quality and Flash quality as well.

Uh, you might want to look around PEEL a bit. You aren't the first to come up with that bright idea, and I believe there's currently an active Flash episode project starting. The more animators you have, the less time it will take. Personally, I'm not holding my breath on this, but we do have fanart (of various degrees of complexity), fanfiction, and fan-made music videos, so if you guys are mosachistic enough to take a stab at Flash episodes, go right ahead.

If you're talking about a highschool computer programming class, you won't learn sh!t about computers, and you'll only learn the a little arbitrary code if you're lucky. If you want to learn about computers, do it on your own time. You're sitting in front of one right now; why not explore a bit? EDIT: ACK! Sorry for the dobule post. It was an accident! I swear!

the website for that Insomnia movie (the one with pacino) had a 10 minute flash intro...you'd have to make it into a downloadable file for the modem-using people...

Even if you did manage to get a team of animators together - almost everyone would have a noticeably different style of drawing and/or animating.

it would be very hard, but then again if you look at the quality of some of the newground's videos (not the stick figure ones) it is possible to make something look good in flash. but like sheep said it would be very hard to get the voices right.

This would be awful, espacially for people who have seen every episode so far (and a fan-flash project would aim at these people I guess). No matter how good the animation would be, it would be flat. There wouldn't be room for any new jokes or storylines. To find voices that match the real actors voices will be very hard but I could live with that. So, make thoses flash-episodes!!!!
