I love this episode for many reasons When Lisa makes a centre-piece for the table on thanksgiving, Bart "accidently" drops it into the fireplace, making Lisa distrait. Bart runs away from home to refuse apologising to Lisa and soon ends up in the wrong side of town with Santa's Little Helper.
This isn't really a comedy but it definitely is an original classic.
It shows Barts true personality, especially at an occasion like this in front of the whole family.
Lets hope there's plans for another Thanksgiving episode, since this was such a blast!
