Plot Synopsis
Storyline
Grampa, Mother Bouvier, Patty and Selma join the Simpsons on Thanksgiving Day. Just before the turkey is brought in, Lisa shows off a meticulously crafted cornucopia paying homage to women in history. When Bart brings in the turkey and begins to set it on the table, he complains Lisa's centerpiece is in the way. A fight ensues, and the centerpiece lands in the fireplace, where it quickly burns up. Lisa runs to her room in tears, and Bart is ordered to go to his room and not come out until he apologizes. When Bart continues to refuse to apologize, he decides to run away. Santa's Little Helper joins him (after he is kicked out for trying to get a nibble of Homer's turkey). After a run-in with a pack of killer dogs at Mr. Burns' mansion, Bart donates some plasma for $12. He passes out, and a pair of bums take him to a homeless shelter for Thanksgiving dinner, the topic of Kent Brockman's news report. Brockman interviews Bart, who still refuses to apologize.

Trivia
After the centerpiece she made for Thanksgiving dinner is ruined by Bart, Lisa writes a poem beginning, "I saw the best meals of my generation destroyed..." This is a reference to the poem 'Howl' by Allen Ginsberg, which begins, "I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked..." See more »Goofs
Just after Homer says grace, Marge gets up to talk to the children. She walks towards the head of the table but passes in front of Homer to leave the room. The next shot shows he has his chair pushed in, meaning Marge would have had to have walked through the table. See more »Quotes

"Bart vs. Thanksgiving" has to be one of the saddest Simpsons episodes of all time. I saw this episode on Thanksgiving and I just couldn't help but cry. This was one of the many episodes of season 2 that were very sad.
The saddest part was when Bart ran away from home because he ruined Thanksgiving. When he ran away, he saw all those homeless people on a street. Then while Homer, Marge, and the family watch the news, they see Bart at a soup kitchen for homeless people. But at the end of the episode, Bart gets back home and Lisa forgives him.
So overall, this was a sad but very sweet Thanksgiving episode.
