The Crepes of Wrath - Donuts on the Couch: Growing Up on Evergreen Terrace S1E11

In “The Crepes of Wrath,” Bart’s latest prank earns him a one-way ticket to France, where the promised château turns out to offer less fine dining and more child labor, questionable wine additives, and endless buckets of water. Andrew and Thom discuss cultural exchange, exploitation, international espionage, and the episode’s surprisingly ambitious decision to send The Simpsons beyond Springfield for the first time. Along the way, they revisit cherry bombs, Agnes Skinner calling her son “Spanky,” Adil’s effortless assimilation into the Simpson household, and Bart’s discovery that the key to becoming a national hero is apparently learning just enough French to report two criminals poisoning the wine.
