  <Overview>The house next door is for sale and Marge and Homer go inside to check it out; Marge falls in love with the kitchen.  Back at home Marge asks Homer for a new kitchen.  Rather than hire someone, Homer decides to do the renovation himself.  While demolishing the kitchen, Homer unleashes his old collection of Playdude magazines.  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.  After Homer has made a mess of the kitchen remodeling, Marge is finally able to hire a contractor, who completes the job &quot;on-time&quot; two years later for $100,000.  Marge's first new dish out of her kitchen gets rave reviews and she decides to enter the Ovenfresh Bakeoff with her Dessert Dogs.  At the bakeoff Marge encounters stiff and ruthless competition, so ruthless that Marge resorts to cheating to get even, much to Lisa's dismay.  Chief Wiggum and other concerned parents talk with Homer about Bart's spreading the Playdude philosophy to the other children.  Homer has a talk with Bart about the facts of life, which a horrified Bart quickly spreads to the other children.  Meantime, in the finals for the bakeoff against Brandine, Marge admits to her foul play and Lisa's faith in her mother is restored.

  <Overview>Originally created by cartoonist Matt Groening, &quot;Our Favorite Family,&quot; has graced the small screen in one form or another for over 20 years. The Simpson family first appeared on television as the subjects of interstitial &quot;shorts&quot; on The Tracey Ullman Show in April of 1987. The Simpsons remained a staple on The Tracey Ullman Show for three seasons until they premiered in their own half-hour series, on December 17, 1989. With the help of Jim Brooks and Sam Simon, Matt Groening's cartoon family turned into an instant success.

Set in Springfield, the average American town, the show focuses on the antics and everyday adventures of the Simpson family; Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie, as well as a virtual cast of thousands. Since the beginning, the series has been a pop culture icon, attracting hundreds of celebrities to guest star. The show has also made name for itself in its fearless satirical take on politics, media and American life in general.

Currently in its 23st season, The Simpsons has piled up close to 500 episodes, 27 Emmy Awards, a handful of music albums, countless endorsements and merchandise, and even made the jump to the silver screen in the summer of 2007 with The Simpsons Movie. And according to Matt Groening, &quot;There is no end in sight.&quot;</Overview>

  <Overview>Lisa has a big butt and her friends at school, Sherri, Terri and Janie let her know about it.  Homer explains to her about the Simpson butt, it is something she'll have to learn to live with.  Bart comes home with 100 on his test, and now he wants to collect on the party that was promised.  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.  Nelson is reunited with his father (and his mother who's returned from Hollywood with an acting job).  Lisa still hasn't found a conclusive solution to her weight problem.
