Girly Edition
"Girly Edition" is the twenty-first episode of the ninth season of the animated television series ''The Simpsons''. It originally aired in the United States on April 19, 1998, and received a Nielsen rating of 8.7. In the episode, Lisa and Bart Simpson must co-anchor a new news program, though when Bart is seen as a more successful news anchor, Lisa becomes jealous and seeks revenge. Meanwhile, in the subplot, Homer Simpson gets a monkey helper because of his laziness. "Girly Edition" was the first episode written by Larry Doyle and was directed by Mark Kirkland, with much of the subplot being inspired by the film ''Monkey Shines''. Critics gave the episode positive reviews and it was well received by Lisa's voice actress Yeardley Smith.
==Plot==
After Groundskeeper Willie takes away Bart's skateboard for destroying his leaf pile, Bart fills up Willie's shack with creamed corn as he is sleeping, causing the shack to explode. As Willie is being taken away for medical attention, he swears revenge on Bart. Meanwhile, Krusty the Clown's show comes under criticism by the FCC for not being educational enough for children. The Channel 6 executive proposes that Krusty cut ten minutes from his three-hour show to make room for a kids' news program, ''Kidz News'', where children deliver and report news items. Lisa is recruited as a news anchor along with other Springfield Elementary School children. Bart is not chosen at first, but is made sportscaster after he complains to Marge.
Lisa is deemed to be boring by the channel's staff, though they are impressed by Bart's performance. Bart is then promoted to be the co-anchor, which leads to jealousy by Lisa. However, after Bart hears Lisa talking behind his back, he tries to improve being an anchor. After failing to read an article concerning a U.S. Supreme Court decision, he goes to Kent Brockman for advice, who teaches him about the power of human interest stories. Bart becomes successful after creating a segment called "Bart's People", which Lisa immediately disapproves of due to its sappy, emotionally manipulative content. Out of jealousy, Lisa makes many attempts to copy it, but her filming is twice hampered by Crazy Cat Lady. She eventually sends a letter acting as an immigrant who lives in a landfill who pleads to be on Bart's People, which causes Bart to rush to the landfill to do a live Bart's People. However, he learns that the immigrant was Groundskeeper Willie, who wants to get revenge on Bart. Lisa sees that what she did was wrong, and rushes off to save him. She is able to reach him, and is able to change Willie's mind about killing him, using the similar techniques Bart used in his stories to stir up emotions. The two decide from then on to make a good educational news program, but ''Kidz News'' gets canceled and replaced by ''The Mattel and Mars Bar Quick Energy Chocobot Hour'', an action cartoon which advertises toys and chocolate.
In the subplot, Homer obtains a monkey helper named "Mojo" after learning Apu has gotten one following the latest robbery at the Kwik-E-Mart, which has left him in a wheelchair. Homer is initially refused one after openly admitting to the animal shelter clerk that he needs a helper monkey because he is lazy, but is able to use Grampa to get one. Homer initially uses the monkey to do housework, which frightens and disgusts Marge (after she drinks the orange juice Mojo made), but then uses the monkey to steal doughnuts from Lard Lad Donut Shop. Eventually, Mojo becomes tired, weak, and overfed from eating junk food and drinking beer with Homer. Marge pleads with Homer to take the monkey back to the shelter so it can be rehabilitated. Homer leaves Mojo on the doorstep, where the sickly simian is only able to type "Pray for Mojo" on a special computer the animal shelter clerk gives him.
