"Release the hounds!"

Changed line(s) 5,6 (click to see context) from:

Bart is told that if he can legitimately apologize and mean it, he will be allowed to dinner, but a stubborn Bart insists that he did nothing wrong and that Lisa was to blame. Bart continues to sulk and decides he's going to show his parents a thing or two – by running away. Santa's Little Helper, who had been thrown out of the house, decides to join Bart as they wander through town. After giving blood at a local blood bank (that happened to be open on Thanksgiving Day) for cash, Bart passes out on the streets in a run-down part of Springfield, and when he awakens is greeted by two street bums who bring him to a community Thanksgiving dinner for the less fortunate. There, Kent Brockman is preparing to do an insincere, self-serving commentary about the holiday and how society treats the poor and needy; during his live commentary, he interviews Bart, who claims he's homeless and "didn't apologize." Homer and Marge see the report and call the police, admitting to officers their fear that they may have been too harsh with Bart.

Meanwhile, Bart and the two homeless urchins begin to have a conversation, where Bart – seeing that his two new friends have no family or anything else – admits he has a family that loves and cares for him, and that he has plenty to be thankful for. He begins to feel remorseful and decides to go home. Upon returning home, he hesitates going inside after envisioning his family blame him for everything. But when he hears Lisa crying in her room and conceding defeat, Bart calls her outside and – after some initial struggles – apologizes. Homer and Marge are relieved that all is OK between the two, and the Thanksgiving holiday at the Simpsons is saved.

episode summary

Added line(s) 0 (click to see context) :

The definitive Thanksgiving episode – and the only one in Simpsons' history – is '''Bart vs. Thanksgiving''', where Bart learns the meaning of the holiday, remorse and forgiveness after getting into a fight with his family and running away from home.

It is Thanksgiving Day, and Homer is watching Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade on TV. Lisa is meticulously assembling a centerpiece to place on the family dinner table, while Marge is busy cooking and preparing for the guests – Patty, Selma, Jacqueline and Grampa. Bart is basically getting in everyone's way. Later, as the guests assemble at the table, Lisa brings in the centerpiece and proudly shows it off, just as Bart brings in the turkey. When Bart tries to jockey for position in placing the turkey platter, he gets into an argument with Lisa about where her centerpiece should be set, resulting in a fight and, in the middle of the ruckus, the centerpiece lands inside the fireplace and instantly is destroyed in the flames. Lisa is devastated and runs to her room in tears, while Bart refuses to accept responsibility. An angry Marge – with Homer (in a rare move) backing her up – sends Bart to his room without dinner, and declares that because of him, "you ruined Thanksgiving!"

Bart is told that if he can legitimately apologize and mean it, he will be allowed to dinner, but a stubborn Bart insists that he did nothing wrong and that Lisa was to blame. Bart continues to sulk and decides he's going to show his parents a thing or two – by running away. Santa's Little Helper, who had been thrown out of the house, decides to join Bart as they wander through town. After giving blood at a local blood bank (that happened to be open on Thanksgiving Day), Bart passes out on the streets in a run-down part of Springfield, and when he awakens is greeted by two street bums who bring him to a community Thanksgiving dinner for the less fortunate. There, Kent Brockman is preparing to do an insincere, self-serving commentary about the holiday and how society treats the poor and needy; during his live commentary, he interviews Bart, who claims he's homeless and "didn't apologize." The police are contacted and Homer and Marge fear they may have been too harsh with Bart.
