“The Front” is the nineteenth episode of Season 4. It aired on April 15, 1993. The episode was written by Adam I. Lapidus and directed by Rich Moore.
Convinced they can write better Itchy & Scratchy scripts than the writers who currently work on the cartoon, Bart and Lisa set out to write their own shows. Their scripts are rejected by Roger Meyers, the show’s producer, until Bart and Lisa use Grandpa’s name as their pseudonym. Their plot works, and as “Abraham Simpson,” the kids are hired to write for the show.
