Lard of the Dance

Synopsis

Homer and Bart team up to dip their hands in the grease recycling business. Meanwhile, Lisa is chosen to introduce a new student to Springfield Elementary, one who is years ahead of her age.

Miscellaneous Info

Production Number 5F20.
First aired in US 23 Aug 1998.
First aired in Australia 5 May 1999.

NOTE: Lard of the Dance was originally scheduled for Season Ten as a hold-over. However, Fox chose to broadcast it early, as a "summer original," to promote the series premiere of That '70s Show. While the network still considers the episode a part of Season Ten, the producers have filed it under Season Nine. In Australia, it was shown as part of Season Ten on both Ten and Foxtel, hence I have included it here.

Special Guest Voices

Lisa Kudrow.
