"Lisa the Vegetarian" is the fifth episode of the seventh season of The Simpsons, originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on October 15, 1995. In the episode, Lisa Simpson stops eating meat after a trip to a petting zoo. Initially ridiculed by her family and friends for her decision, she commits to vegetarianism after advice from Apu, and from Paul and Linda McCartney (pictured). Directed by Mark Kirkland, "Lisa the Vegetarian" is the first full episode of The Simpsons to be written by David X. Cohen. The McCartneys guest starred as themselves, with former Beatle Paul appearing on condition that Lisa would remain a vegetarian for the rest of the series. The episode contains references to his musical career, and his song "Maybe I'm Amazed" plays over the closing credits. "Lisa the Vegetarian" was watched by 14.6 million viewers and received positive reviews from television critics. For its themes on animal issues, it won two awards, an Environmental Media Award and a Genesis Award. (Full article...)
