Episode Info: Production Code: 7G02 Original Airdate: 1/14/1990 Writer: Jon Vitti Director: David Silverman Framegrabs: N/A Chalk Board Gag: I WILL NOT WASTE CHALK Storyline: Bart cheats on his intelligence test and is mistaken for a child genius. In order to offer him more stimulation, Marge and Homer enroll him in a school for gifted students where he is immediately made to feel like the mediocre student he is. Bart eventually bluffs his way back into Springfield Elementary by claiming he'll study his classmates but winds up confessing to everyone that he cheated. Stuff You Might Have Missed: Maggie spells out EMCSQU (or E=MC2) on her building blocks. Principle Skinner devotes an entire file drawer to Bart Simpson. Marcia Wallace's name is misspelled "Marsha" in the closing credits. Books on the shelf in Bart's new advanced school classroom include Crime & Punishment, Babylonian Myths, Paradise Lost, Moby Dick, Plato, Dante's Inferno, and The Illiad. The Simpson family attends the opera "Carmen," advertised as "Tonight Only in Russian." On the opera poster, the conductor is identified as Boris Csuposki, a play on the name of producer and supervising animation director Gabor Csupo. After he is dubbed a genius, Bart's Principle Skinner graffiti likeness and word balloon is framed and labeled as a work of art entitled "The Principle" by Bart Simpson. There is a picture of Bart on the wall opposite one of Albert Einstein in Dr. Pryor's office. |
