Simpsons Top 100 Countdown
#62 Bart on the Road
Season 7, Episode 20 (Guide from the Simpsons Archive)
Principal Skinner, in an effort to start his spring break a day early, assigns a “take your child to work day” for the Friday in question. Lisa goes to work with Homer and learns to appreciate spending time with him, while Bart goes to work with Patty and Selma at the DMV and walks away with a phony driver’s license, and Martin Prince works the financial markets with his father and makes $600. Nelson and Milhouse are hanging around with Bart, trying to get their use out of the fraudulent identification, when they meet Martin and realize that his money, combined with Bart’s sham driver’s license, they have all the makings of a road trip. Using the alibi that they are going to the National Grammar Rodeo at the Sheraton Hotel in Canada, the boys take off. Relying on an old AAA guidebook that Milhouse finds in the car, they decide to go to the (1983) World’s Fair in Knoxville. Once there, they find only a wig shop and the poorly maintained remains of the World’s fair venue. After purchasing some wigs and a talking Al Gore doll, they realize they are out of money, and matters only get worse when Nelson knocks over the sunsphere, crushing their rental car. Bart’s unlaminated, out-of-state driver’s license is good enough to get him a courier’s job. Lisa gets Homer to order a part from the Oak Ridge Nuclear facility near Knoxville, so that Bart and company can be the courier and finally return to Springfield, but only after using their newfound trust in each other to swear him to secrecy. Bart makes it back and Marge is, as ever, proud of him, but is baffled by several phone calls she receives that night. Memorable moments include Homer and Lisa “camping” at his work station, Andy Williams, Bart as a courier in Hong Kong, the sunsphere/wigsphere crashing onto the car, the lines about Bart’s bogus document, the knock against homemakers on the school form, Homer and Lisa in the radiation suits, Marge lonely, and Homer and Lisa raiding the candy machine.
