In 1990, A “Simpsons” episode très extraordinaire! Principal Skinner ships Bart off to France as an exchange student because of a cherry-bomb-in-the-toilet incident. (“I have a weakness for the classics,” the young vandal explains.) This allows “The Simpsons”' creative team to deal with a few classics of their own, as Bart rides through a French countryside that looks suspiciously like famous paintings, one after another. “We had to figure out a way to draw those paintings in a Simpson style,” recalls director Wes Archer. That eye-popping sequence helped push this episode past all the other crackerjack “Simpsons” clamoring for a spot on this roster. Even without it, “The Crepes of Wrath” is more savory than Provenç al cuisine, as Bart is enslaved by his wine-making sponsors while, back home, an Albanian exchange student-spy relieves Homer of countless nuclear secrets, and while foiling a plot to lace the Beaujolais with anti-freeze, Bart discovers he can speak fluent French! “Incroyable!” “The Crepes of Wrath” is vintage “Simpsons.”
