7/9 - Girls Just Want To Have Sums (HABF12)
Principal Skinner is fired after making a remark (at "Itchy &
Scratchy: The Musical") that girls aren't good at math, but his
replacement divides the school into separate boys' and girls'
sections; when Lisa discovers that the only thing the girls are being
taught is how to feel good about themselves, she masquerades as a boy
and joins the boys' classes
7/16 - Regarding Margie (HABF13)
It looks like Marge didn't read those "use in a well-ventilated area"
warnings on her cleaning products carefully enough, as the dizziness
results in her hitting her head on a stool and forgetting two small
little details of her life: one, that she's married to Homer Simpson,
and two, Homer Simpson
7/23 - The Monkey Suit (HABF14)
When Mayor Quimby and Reverend Lovejoy talk Principal Skinner into
allowing the teaching of creationism in schools, Lisa complains that
there should only be one theory taught - which results in evolution
being banned and Lisa, who tries to teach it in secret, arrested
7/30 - Marge and Homer Turn a Couple Play (HABF16)
The star player for the Springfield Isotopes sees Homer and Marge
kissing on the big-screen TV during a game and thinks they can solve
his marital problems, but when Homer is caught giving a neck massage
to the player's wife, the problem turns into a doubleheader
EMMY NEWS
In case you missed the announcement on Thursday, the show received one
Emmy nomination, for Animtated Programming Less Than One Hour (for the
episode "The Seemingly Never-Ending Story"); the other nominees were
Camp Lazlo ("Hello Dolly / Over Cooked Beans"), Foster's Home for
Imaginary Friends ("Go Goo Go"), Family Guy ("PTV"), and South Park
("Trapped in the Closet").
There are two other awards the show can win; in Individual Achievement
in Animation (awards given to individual animators) and Voiceover
Performance; there are no nominations in these categories, but each
entry is judged on its own merits, and multiple winners are possible.
These will be announced sometime in August. The other animation
awards are announced at the guest performer, animation, and other
categories considered unnecessary for the network TV broadcast to fit
into three hours (also known as the "creative arts") ceremony on
August 19; E! will air a heavily-edited version (the ceremony runs
well over three hours, and the broadcast runs two, with commercials,
so it goes something like, "The nominees for (some award) are (list
the shows) - the Emmy goes to (the winner) - (about 10 seconds of the
acceptance speech)" repeated over and over, although the four guest
performer awards probably have more of their speeches air as usually
well-known celebrities win (the Guest Actor in a Comedy Series
nominees are Patrick Stewart, Ben Stiller, Martin Sheen, Alec Baldwin,
and Leslie Jordan).

I can see it now: South Park wins the animation award for its anti-
Scientoly ep, and admitted Scientologist Nancy Cartwright wins the
voiceover award...
