THE NEW ADVENTURES OF THE CHIPETTES
Season 1
(In this season the girls are all 11 years old at the start)
1. Pilot - The Chipettes enter a song and dance competition. Everything
seems to be looking up, until the absent minded Ms. Miller, trips over her cat (don't ask
me why she brought it), causing the set to fall over. Can the Chipettes regain their spot
in the competition, or will they be permanently disqualified?
Key song: A modernized version of New Attitude - by Patti Labell
2. Head in the Clouds - Jeanette wants to try sky diving, but she's too afraid to go for it.
Brittany of course, challenges her sister to a game of 'who can do the most daring things first?'
Jen loses time after time, and is totally humiliated. Then a friend from school Gina Townsted (just a working name) reveals to Jen, that she used to be just like her. This encourages Jen, she gives sky diving a try, and wins the competition.
Key song: Hot Air Balloon - by Owl City
3. Eleanor: Chipette of Many Hats - Ellie has always been the busiest of the Chipettes. Athletic
star at school, music star on stage. Now, she's adding a new hat to the rack: Cooking star.
Eleanor becomes host for a day of her favorite cooking show (probably some name poking fun at Emmeril). When the real host, becomes ill, Ellie has to fill in for longer. The audience loves her, but Ellie just wants to go back to simply watching the show.

4. Adrian Munk - The first parody episode, and the first appearance of Alvin & the Chipmunks and Dave. This episode parodies the USA Network show Monk. Adrian Munk, a brilliant but very odd detective, is called to investigate the disappearance of a beautiful heir. He is distracted by the
loss of his wife (dies of natural causes in this version) though, a loss which has left him completely obsessive compulsive. Can Adrian Munk solve the case, or will his constant hand-wiping, drive everyone crazy, and cause it to be too
late for the heiress?
Characters: Simon - Adrian Munk (Adrian Monk)
Brittany - Brittany Flameing ( Sharona Fleming, Monk's original assistant)
Alvin - Lt. Alvin Dishwasher (Lt. Randy Disher)
Dave - Capt. Leland Sevilmeyer (Capt. Leland Stotlemeyer)
Jeanette - Ms. Jennifer Moneybags [the heiress] (made up)
Eleanor - Natalie Tugger (Natalie Teeger, Monk's second assistant)
Theodore - Teddy Van Sleeze [the kidnapper] (made up)
Key song: It's a Jungle Out There (Monk Theme) - By Randy Newman
If you have never seen the show Monk, I apologize if this episode does not make sense.
5. Hammers and Nails - Brittany is in a sour mood (shocker) because the city is planning to tear down her favorite beauty salon, and replace it with a humanitarian aid headquarters. Brittany resorts to behaving like a total jerk (gasp), and points out all the reasons why people like beauty salons more then aid foundations. Ellie meanwhile, is working for the opposite team, and sings at a small benifit concert to support the humanitarians. This creates a riff (woah) between the two, and (poor pitiful) Jeanette has to find some way to get her sisters talking again. In the end a solution is reached, that pleases everyone.
Key songs: Material Girl - by Madonna, and Echoes - by Dar Williams
6. Ms. Miller Lost Something - In this episode, Ms. Miller misplaces her most cherished pair of shoes. These shoes (pumps with diamonds in the soles) are the shoes Ms. Miller was wearing when she first became a star. The girls set about trying to find the missing shoes, with each of them going about it in completely ridiculous (and funny) ways. Eventually they realize 3 heads are better then one. In the end, it turns out that the shoes were really under some clothes at the bottom of Ms. Miller's closet, but the girls learn a lesson about working together anyways.
Key song: ?
7. The Witness Who Doesn't See Anything - Jeanette witnesses a store robbery, and is called to identify the guilty party. She is so freaked out about this, that she starts acting even more like Jeannete than usual. Simon (this episode does not feature the other boys) helps her by building a pair of serene-a-graphic glasses. When Jen puts these on, she can make herself be in any happy place she wants. She is so obsessed with them though, that when it comes time to pick the robber at the police station, she chooses the wrong guy. Luckily, he's not very smart, and goes out and robs another store. This time, the police catch him, and Jeanette destroys the trouble-making glasses.
Key song: ?
8. Lights, Camera, Action - The Chipettes decide to pursue roles in a new movie about a brave group of warrior princesses. However, when the director is only interested in Brittany, she let's her eagerness get to her, and doesn't even try to get her sisters parts in the movie. Eventually, once Brittany realizes the error of her ways, she turns the role down.
Key song: The Fame (with alterations) - by Lady Gaga
9. Be a Good Sport - It's the start of Baseball season, and Ellie is excited to play. Her team is excited too, and welcome her back with open arms. However, someone on the opposing team, pulls a dirty trick on her. They spike Ellie's fruit-juice with some sort of drug, so that she'll fail the drug test. Brit hears about this, gets very mad, and sets out to find the guilty party and give them a piece of her mind. In the end, Ellie is allowed to play when the kid who did it, comes forth and confesses.
Key song: Trouble - by P!nk
10. Brittany's Boy-um-Enemy: Brit and Alvin are having relationship troubles. They both have their minds firmly set on winning a song writing competition. They end up writing cruel things about each other, and consequently, break up because of it. Dave and Ms. Miller work together to try and come up with a way to show Alvin and Brittany just how silly their being. Theodore and Simon also pitch in (as well as Ellie and Jen).
Key song: ?
11. Granny Miller Comes to Call - Grandma Miller comes for a visit. Ms. Miller is frantic as she tries to make everything perfect, for her hard to please mother. The girls are all excited to see their Grandma, who only comes to visit every couple of years. Jen notices though, that Ms. Miller does not seem quite as thrilled about it as the girls. She asks Ms. Miller what the matter is, and Ms. Miller explains that her mother did not think girls should go out and become famous; a girl's place was in the home. When Grandma finally gets there, things are very tense. In the end, after a conversation with the shy (but wise) Jen, Grandma Miller and her daughter make up (and everyone goes out for sundaes).
Key songs: Modernized version of - My Mother/ The Last Word - by Mary Chapin Carpenter
12. Beach Party Blunder - Brittany is having a beach party for all the rich kids. Jeannete, who wants to be popular like her sister, asks to tag along, but Brittany refuses. Brittany goes to the party, leaving Jen alone and upset. Jeannete decides to start her own club "The Yay for Clumsy Oafs Club" [just a working title]. As leader of this new club, Jen feels she is finally accepted, despite her perceived faults. Meanwhile Brit is finding out that the "cool" rich kids are just a bunch of mean snotty snobby jerks. One of them tricks her into giving him all her allowance money ($60.00 saved over a year) and then everyone leaves. Brittany is left all alone, and wishes she hadn't been so mean to Jen. Jen and her clumsy friends meet up with Ellie and her baseball team, who are out celebrating a big win. Ellie reminds Jen how much their big sister really loves her. Jen goes to see Brit. They hug and make up, and Brittany invites all the kids from the "YCOC" to a beach party.
Key song: Sunshine and Summertime - By Faith Hill
13. Moderately Happy Birthday to You - The Chipmunks plan a party for the Chipettes. Alvin wants their 12th birthday to be a grand celebration, and even invites all their old friends from Australia to the party. However, the girls are all having a very bad week. Brittany gets a bad manicure, Jeannet trips over her feet and knocks over her science project at show and tell, and Eleanor's team loses a big volleyball game. They are all feeling mighty depressed, and not even the prospect of their approaching 12th birthday can cheer them up. Will the boys be able to think of something to lift the girls spirits?
Key songs: Happy Birthday to You (duh) - Reprise of New Attitude - It's my Party
14. Camp Brittany - Ms. Miller sends the girls off to Camp Freesweat (again just a working title). Ellie is delighted, Jen is nervous but eager, and Brit is furious. She complains about everything, from the bus drive up the bumpy mountain road to camp, to the small leak in her tent. When the camping party gets separated by a big windstorm, Ellie's ankle is broken (and Jen is useless in a crises) so it's up to Brit to deliver her sisters (and a few other kids) to safety.
Key song: ?
15. Jeanette: Up and Down - Jen is having a particularly clumsy week. She is tripping and falling over every three minutes it seems, and is annoying everyone at school. Eventually Jeanette trips over her own shoelaces, causing Brit's painstakingly crafted (as in Brit worked on it for 1/2 an hour) diarama of Broadway to topple. At first Jen is scared to tell Brit, because Brit has threatened to put whoever did it in a lot of pain. After three stressful days, Jen is so nervous she can't stand up. Brit finds her sitting by the swimming pool (they have one in here), and sits down, whining at her that she'll never know who did it. Jen breaks down crying and tells Brit the truth. To this, Brit (still crying herself) responds "Jeanette, try to contain yourself. Can't you see I'm distraught?" This pushes Jen over the edge, and she promptly pushes Brittney (sorry Brit fans) into the pool. Roll credits.

16. Theodore Presents - Theodore is nervous about presenting his cookies at the town bake off. Eleanor helps him by taking him to Aunt Kim's Bakery (working title). There Theodore learns that every great baker (or every great anyone for that matter) started out a nobody. Theodore gains his confidence, wins the bake-off and gives Ellie flowers (just a nice touch I thought).
Key song: ?
17. Farcebook - Brittany discovers the networking sight Farcebook, which seems like lots of fun at first (she can talk to other girls who think of nothing but their hair and nails) and she truly enjoys it. Then the website starts sending her false advertising. Brittany is convinced that she will win a million dollars in Farcebook's modeling contest. Her sisters try to convince her there's something wrong with the whole picture.
