"Girly Edition" is the twenty-first episode of season 9 of The Simpsons and the one-hundred and ninety-ninth episode overall. It originally aired on April 19, 1998. The episode was written by Larry Doyle and directed by Mark Kirkland.
Synopsis[edit]
- "Bart attempts to upstage his sister when the pair land anchor seats on a Children's educational news program. Meanwhile, Homer exploits his elderly father to obtain a helper monkey, which he quickly puts to work looting donut shops."
Plot[edit]
Krusty the Clown's show is coming under criticism by the FCC for not providing enough educational material for children, so Channel 6 decides to put a mini-series in to avoid further trouble. They decide to make it a children's news program and the producers look toward Springfield Elementary for staff. Meanwhile, Willie takes away Bart's skateboard for messing up the leaves he just raked and as revenge, Bart fills Willie's shack with creamed corn, destroying it, leaving Willie homeless. Lisa is chosen for head anchor and has to pick the rest of the staff. Marge forces her to make Bart part of the show. During the first show, Bart upstages Lisa with his over-the-top Sports report. Lindsey Naegle notices this and makes him co-anchor.
Meanwhile, Homer goes to the Kwik-E-Mart to see that while Apu is healing from an injury, he has a helper monkey to run the store. Homer is perplexed by the idea and goes to buy one himself, calling it Mojo. However, the monkey becomes as big of a slob as Homer is and Homer has to give him back to the store when Mojo becomes overweight from overeating and lack of exercise.
