Synopsis

When Herbert resigns as the school newspaper editor, Mimi and friends takes over. Faced with flagging readership, Mimi resorts to increasingly melodramatic stories which finally stretch the truth too far- forcing Principal Earl to close down the paper. Mimi and Elaine publish one last "underground issue" in a desperate bid to prove that their newspaper really does have journalistic integrity.

Production notes

The world is simple, just poorly managed...

A snappy, savvy, family-oriented show about 11-year-old Mimi Morton, problem-solver extraordinaire! Mimi trains her earnest problem-fixing skills on her friends and family.

Mimi's family surname is variously called "Mortin" and "Morton" in studio publicity.

In the first two seasons, episodes each consisted of one cartoon. In the third season, they were each separable into two 11-minute cartoons.
