 '''''Anchor Blues''''' is a ''[[The Simpsons Summer Shindig]]'' comic story first printed in {{TSSS|6|a=no}}.
 == Plot ==
-[[Kent Brockman]] has just finished taping ''[[Channel 6 All-Stars Halloween Super Variety Showcase]]''. But when he exits the studio to go home (in lieu of hosting the news), [[Snake]] runs past him with a bag. The security guard asks Brockman to stop him but he refuses, as that is not his job. So Snake gets away with the money (in gold ingots) made from the special (And Brockman's clothes)! Kent leaves the TV building in a [[Superman]] costume he wore on the special. But when he comes out to the parking lot, Snake steals his car and wallet. Kent call to the police but then sees they're unhelpful.
+[[Channel 6]] has just finished filming the ''[[Channel 6 All-Stars Halloween Super Variety Showcase]]'' for next [[Halloween]]. After stepping out of the stage room, he sees [[Raphael]] chasing after [[Snake Jailbird]], who is carrying a sack. Brockman refuses to try and stop him since it isn't his job, and Snake gets away. A producer then runs up to Brockman and reveals that Snake robbed his dressing room, stealing the gold bars from his safe and even his lucky suit. As Brockman leaves [[Channel 6 Studios]], Snake confronts Brockman and robs him, taking his wallet and car, leaving Brockman penniless. Soon, the police arrive but tell Brockman that there's nothing they can do as there has been a spike in unsolved crimes recently. They leave Kent, telling him not to stick around the alley after dark because it's dangerous there.
-The next day, [[Lisa]] rides her bike past Kent on her paper round and he tells her why he is wearing a Superman costume and sitting on the sidewalk outside the studio's parking lot. Kent is depressed, he thinks he is a joke, but Lisa cheers him up. Kent finds Snake's library card and he decides to visit the library. The librarian tells Kent that he will not find anything here but when he starts to flip through the book [[Goldfinger]], he discovers that they placed his gold bars in the book. The librarian is angry and asks how he was able to detect their operation and he says that he looked into the Junior Assistant Librarian Program and found [[Fat Tony]] and the D'Amico Crime Family. Fat Tony tells Kent that a group of six-time felons can do some light reading amongst friends and Fat Tony tells his friends that Kent must sleep with the fishes. Fat Tony is then beaten by a newspaper that Lisa and the other female newspaper delivers (and [[Milhouse]]) have come to help Kent. Kent then sees Snake, who is going to pick up a weapon that is hidden in the book [[The Guns of Navarrone]] but then it turns out to be just a book with no weapon inside. Kent then successfully beats him down. In the next broadcasting of the news Kent tells everyone about what he did at he wants to thank a special young lady for helping him. Lisa thinks that it's her, but it turns out to be {{ap|Mandy|Anchor Blues}} and he offers her dinner, which she accepts. Lisa then angrily exits the studio while Kent reads more news.
+Later, Brockman reports the incident on ''[[Channel 6 News]]''. On the program, he talks about one young lady who helped bring him back to his feet, before he tells the weather lady {{ap|Mandy|Anchor Blues}} that he couldn't have done it without her and asks her out to dinner. Lisa storms out of the recording studio.
