"Tennis the Menace" is the twelfth episode of the Twelfth Season of '' The Simpsons '' which originally aired February 11 , 2001 . It was the second episode of ''The Simpsons'' to be made with digital coloring, with a complete transition to digital animation made in Season 13. PLOT The Springfield Retirement Castle holds a talent show, which the Simpsons attend. Grampa wins the show after doing a bad version of "What's New, Pussycat?" His prize is a free autopsy, so the Simpsons go to a funeral salesman. Instead, Homer realizes that a certain kind of cemetery monument uses the same amount of cement as a Tennis court, and so Homer decides to get the house a tennis court, even though they can hardly afford their own house. The court is very popular with Springfield 's residents, and yet, these residents mock Homer and Marge for losing all the time (Lou calls them the " Los Angeles Clippers of backyard tennis"). Marge gets even by entering Krusty 's celebrity tournament, the "Krusty Kharity Klassic", with Bart as her new partner. Homer, outraged that he was abandoned for a ten year old, gets even by entering the tournament with Lisa as his partner. Marge and Bart antagonise Homer and Lisa, who play it cool (well, Homer panics at the thought of losing). The tournament takes place and in the stands are tennis pros Andre Agassi , Pete Sampras , Venus Williams and Serena Williams . At the tournament, Homer dumps Lisa with Venus Williams. In response, Marge replaces Bart with Serena Williams as her partner. Ultimately, Serena and Venus replace Marge and Homer with Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi, respectively. This forces the family to go back to the bench and resume their normal places in the family, agreeing that it's better to watch things than to do things. CULTURAL REFERENCES
