MAYORED TO THE MOB
- Set your Phasers on Fun! It's Homer Simpson-Nerdbuster! By rescuing Mayor Quimby from rioting geeks at a Sci-Fi Convention, Homer becomes the official mayoral bodyguard, only to discover he's got to battle Fat Tony's wacky gangsters. A deadly ballet fraught with musical mayhem!!
DOG OF DEATH
- The Dog: Man's best...and most expensive friend? A potenrially fatal illness strikes Santa's Little Helper, testing the Simpson family's loyalty, pocketbook, and ability to stomach organ meats. A harrowingly humorous tale of lottery-ticket emotion, canine devotion, and the sweet gamey tang of human flesh!
THE SECRET WAR OF LISA SIMPSON
- When Bart nearly destroys Springfield and is sent to Rommelwood Military Academy for discipline, Lisa decides she wants to become its first female cadet. TREMBLE at the sheer brutality of a fourth-grade hazing! SHRINK from the death-defying spectacle of "The Eliminator"!! SURVIVE a poem by John Keats!!!
MARGE BE NOT PROUD
- The pencil of crime has no eraser! Or does it? A heavy bombardment of X-mas commercials for an insanely expernsive video-game drives Bart to consider if larceny is the best policy. Will Bart survive the scare-tactics of the Try-N-Save store detective, Homer's laughably feeble punishments, and the alienation of a mother's love? (This show must be seen to be seen!)
