He tells Marge he keeps them for the articles; she obliges him by cutting up the magazines, keeping only the articles. Now that they are useless, Homer throws them away, only to have them found by Bart and Milhouse. Using these 1970's era magazines as a model, Bart decides to renovate the Treehouse.

Couch: The couch is outdoors but mounted on the end of a catapult. The family sit in their usual places on the couch, which is then launched by the catapult sending the family off into the distance. 2 years and 6 months pass over the course of this episode. 338. Sleeping with the Enemy gs: Marcia Wallace (Voice of Edna Krabappel) Pamela Hayden (Voice of Milhouse Van Houten) Tress MacNeille (Voice of Various) Russi Taylor (Voice of Martin Prince/ Sherri/ Terri) Karl Wiedergott (Voice of Various) Lisa has a big butt and her friends at school, Sherri, Terri and Janie let her know about it.

Lisa is trying to deal with her weight issue, meanwhile Bart gets his party; with his relatives, Ralph, Martin and Milhouse via speakerphone. It's the worst party ever as far as Bart's concerned. It's made worse when Lisa returns home only to be confronted by her mother wanting her to eat a big slice piece of cake, she runs out of the room crying. Marge is bummed that the kids don't appreciate her anymore. She finds Nelson in the park and spends some quality time with him and when her kids continue to shun her, she adopts Nelson as a surrogate child. Lisa tries diet and exercise to reduce her big bottom. Marge brings Nelson home to do some chores around their home, but Nelson's real mother returns that money that Marge paid her son and then she leaves for Hollywood, leaving her son in Springfield and homeless. Nelson goes to the only place where he can find refuge, the Simpson home. Much to Bart's dismay Marge lets Nelson stay in his room. Late one night Bart finds Nelson singing for the return of his father and Lisa overindulging in a cake (she'd previously been starving herself). Lisa gets help from Nelson to get revenge on Sherri and Terri. When the pair returns to the Simpson home there is a surprise waiting for Nelson; Bart has found his father.

Lisa still hasn't found a conclusive solution to her weight problem. b: 21-Nov-2004 pc: FABF19 w: Jon Vitti d: Lauren MacMullan # NOTE: Blackboard: None. Couch: The family enters the living room to find the couch is not there. Suddenly from overhead the couch drops on top of them. This episode is almost like from a Simpsons Comic. The comic was number #89. # Homer describes the "Simpson Butt" to Lisa, creating a self portrait of himself that mimics the technique many cartoonists use when drawing their characters, using multiple circles. # Homer's artwork of himself also echoes a fox promo Matt Groening filmed a few years ago in which he showed audiences how to draw Homer. He drew with a pen on the camera glass, so it appeared he was drawing on screen, and when he drew the hair and ear he said it formed an "MG" because those were his initials. # First appearance of Jackie Bouvier (Marge's mom) since Season Six. # This is Lisa third change of character since the show debuted. First she became a vegiterian, then a budhist and now a woman worried about being fat # Here we are introduced to the "Simpson butt", the third inheritable genetic malady that plagues Homer's side of the family. The other two are stubbiness (which Lisa has) and the stupidity gene (which Bart has). # This is the second time Bart got 100% on a test, the first one was in "Homer vs Dignity." # Lisa did accept her "weight" problem in the episode. She ate the cake and got over the fact that she thought she was fat, so there was a solution. 339. She Used to Be My Girl gs: Kim Cattrall (Voice of Chloe Talbot) Tress MacNeille (Voice of Various) Karl Wiedergott (Voice of Various) Famous journalist Chloe Talbot comes to Springfield to cover a scandal involving Mayor Quimby. Chloe Talbot comes from Springfield and she and Marge were journalism students together in high school; Chloe went on to fame and fortune and we all know what happened to Marge. Lisa becomes enamored with Chloe and Marge becomes jealous of loss of her daughter's attention. After a half a glass of wine, Marge goes cuckoo bananas and gets into a fight with Chloe. When Marge won't let her go with Chloe to news conference, Lisa sneaks out and into the trunk of Chloe's car. Everything might have gone according to plan if Chloe hadn't been diverted to cover the eruption of a volcano. Lisa and Chloe get into trouble and it takes a mother's love to affect Lisa's rescue, whereas Chloe's rescue comes from an old high school boyfriend, Barney Gumble. b: 05-Dec-2004 pc: FABF22 w: Tim Long d: Matthew Nastuk # NOTE: Blackboard: Poking a dead raccoon is not research. Couch: Our favorite family enters the living, only Homer's head has been replaced by Moe's and the rest of the family all have Moe's facial characteristics as their own. Chloe Talbot (Kim Cattrall) mentions she is from The Global News Network, which is actually real. It's on Global TV, a television network in Canada, where Kim Cattrall grew up. Global is also the network that shows original Simpsons episodes in Canada. # The scene where Chloe asks Lisa why she's in the trunk was removed from the final episode because A) of time restraints and B) fear of offending Christians, Buddhists, and/or Spongebob fans. # The Simpsons never fails to keep up with their up-to-the-minute jokes. Case in point: Bob Dylan WAS, in fact, interviewed on 60 minutes that night. Therefore, the scene where he is being interviewed must have been inserted VERY close to the airdate. # The Bob Dylan thing must of been purely coincendental; there is no specific reference to the 60 Minutes interview and animation production cannot be done that quickly. # Global is also the station in Canada that airs the new episodes of the Simpsons. # This episode starts the trend of showing cut clips during the ending credits. This cut scene was aforementioned "Lisa in the trunk" scene. 340. Fat Man and Little Boy gs: Eric Idle (Voice of Declan Desmond) Terry W. Greene (Voice of Unknown) Pamela Hayden (Voice of Milhouse Van Houten) Tress MacNeille (Voice of Various) Russi Taylor (Voice of Martin Prince) Karl Wiedergott (Voice of Various) Bart loses his last baby tooth in a spitball fight. Called the money tooth, Bart is suffering from what he calls a midlife crisis when the tooth fairy has given a gift in his name to the United Way, what his mother calls a "grown-up gift." Bart gives up on his childhood and Lisa suggests that he expresses his feelings in some way and Bart chooses to put them in the form of slogans on a T-shirt. When Goose Gladwell, a gag-gift entrepreneur, sees the slogans he forms a partnership with Bart that begins to make Bart a lot of money. Homer is suspended from work without pay and then decides to quit outright and live off of his son's earnings. Of course he loses his place in the family as breadwinner and starts to lose his self respect. A documentary by Declan Desmond on lions inspires Homer to start focusing on his relationship with Lisa. He decides to help her with her science project about nuclear power, which includes a scale model of the first nuclear power plant. Homer improves on her model by making it functional, something easily done after finding the instructions on the Internet. He sneaks into the power plant and get some plutonium. Meanwhile, Goose Gladwell has sold the rights to Bart's T-Shirts to Disney and Bart won't get a dime from it. To get back into his role as the alpha male of the family, Homer makes use of the working nuclear reactor to threaten Gladwell into giving his son what he deserves and few novelty items for himself. As to whether the reactor actually works or not, Homer decides to leave that up to the seagulls at the city dump to figure it out. b: 12-Dec-2004 pc: FABF21 w: Joel H. Cohen d: Mike B. Anderson # NOTE: Blackboard: None. Couch: After the family takes their usual places on the couch, the couch rises into the air and is actually part of the tendril of an anglerfish that you'll find in the deep depths in the ocean. The anglerfish empties the couch of the family and swallows them whole. The website Homer accesses in this episode, www.nuclear-secrets.com, is currently (approx. 3 minutes after the show ended) under construction. # During the end credits, I guess it was a deleted scene, where Bart attempts to knock out that tooth but making fun of Nelson and ends up not working where Nelson starts thinking about his life. # Matt Groening registered the domain nuclear-secrets.com before this episode aired, but did not create a website. # When Lisa and Janie are clapping hands and singing the song and homer keeps getting worried they are going to swear was an idea that they were going to use in Season 3, in the episode "When Flanders Failed". They reveal this when you listen to the commentary on the DVD. # Gladwell's store contains a poster for "Sit-n-Squirt," the novelty toy Bart used on Homer in Smart and Smarter. 341.
