The Telltale Head - Donuts on the Couch: Growing Up on Evergreen Terrace S1E8

In “The Telltale Head,” Bart’s desperate bid to impress Springfield’s resident bad boys ends with one impulsive act, one headless town founder, and a mob that is surprisingly unwilling to hear him out. Andrew and Thom discuss popularity, peer pressure, parental cautionary tales, and the terrible decision-making that can occur around 3:00 in the morning. Along the way, they revisit Homer sneaking football into church, Reverend Lovejoy’s sleep-inducing sermons, the debut of Jimbo, Kearney, and Dolph, and the episode’s impressive ability to make stupidity and brilliance coexist in the same characters.
