Added DiffLines:

* {{Bowdlerise}}: Channel 4's broadcast of the episode removes the scene where Grampa punches Bart in the face after the latter insults the former. In typical Channel 4 fashion, however, the set-up is retained, immediately cutting to commercials after Grampa tells Bart to "take down your dukes".

When they start spending time together, Homer and Lisa's bond gets strong. This causes Bart to feel neglected as Marge tries to help Homer balance with his attention towards his kids.

to:

When they start Lisa starts reading ''Literature/ToKillAMockingbird'' and when she starts spending time together, with Homer she sees sees parallels with Atticus Finch and Lisa's their bond gets becomes really strong. This causes Bart to feel neglected as Marge tries to help Homer balance with his attention towards his kids.


Added DiffLines:

* DaddysGirl: When they are on the same page Lisa is very much proud of her dad, and projecting Atticus Finch on him has her getting into fights with anyone who mocks him (namely Bart).
* EveryoneHasStandards: Homer is often oblivious to such things, but he takes particular offense to the skimpy clothing being offered to his eight year old daughter. This helps Lisa to see Homer as a good father figure.


Added DiffLines:

* ShamingTheMob: Taking a page from a scene from the movie, when a [[TorchesAndPitchforks mob comes to the Simpson house chasing after Bart]], Homer grabs a bible and sits out front, using old country wisdom to get them to calm down.
