Simpsons paroda of Xuxa. Who? Xuxa?

Perusing The Simpsons: One Step Beyond Forever’s entry on the episode “Blame It on Lisa,” I was reminded of the extremely sexy children’s program that Bart was watching on Brazilian television.

According to the book:

What? There was a children’s show like that? And I missed it? Who can tell me about this Xuxa?

Xuxa is a rather saucy Brazilian TV star who hosted a kid’s show. They even showed it here for a little bit. It wasn’t called Teleboobies, however.

3

Xuxa, the show.

Xuxa, the performer.

Xuxa (shoo-shah) was a kid’s show in the early-'90s staring a Brazilian performer named Xuxa. Apparently she was trying to make an American version of her show, which was popular in Brazil. I never watched it, but I heard its ratings were low.

5

So was this show really as erotic as was depicted on the “Simpsons” episode? I would have guessed that it was an exaggeration, but the book says that the content was from “Xuxa.”

So how sexy was this show?

This is the stuff that’s going to prevent younger folks from getting The Simpsons in later (and current) years.

I remember watching a bit as a kid; my parents got a kick out of it. I seem to remember lots of short skirts and thigh-high boots. At the end of the show, she’d put a ton of lipstick on and kiss one of the kids on the cheek, leaving a mark.

Yeah, Xuxa had lots of sexy dancing girls, many dressed as “slutty toy soldiers” with the tall hats, epaulets on their shoulders, big buttons, and then really short skirts and silky-looking stockings and boots. They were always marching in place or dancing around. She showed off her legs quite a bit as well.

I remember this crappy show. Thank God that horny teenagers didn’t discover this show. It might have become the highest rated kids TV show ever :rolleyes:

That’s awesome.

And I thought the girl on Big Comfy Couch was hot.

11

I dunno – Warner Brothers cartoons are chock full of obscure cultural references from the thirties and forties, and they hold up pretty well.

From the Wiki article:

That must have been one hell of an end of show kiss the previous season.

13

I saw the show once.

I think the part where she gave a saucy look into the camera and then licked her lips was a bit too much for me.

My ex MIL gave my daughter a Xuxa doll for Christmas.

14

There was also a satire of Xuxa in the episode Marge Be Not Proud: during a Krusty Christmas special, the famous clown is unable to pronounce the name of Brazilian kids’ show host Xoxcilita.

Here she is without all that makeup.

The one on the right, silly.
