What is the name of the Simpsons version of the Flintstones episode, Social Climbers?

Flintstones episode, 38. Social Climbers

Wilma and Betty wrangle tickets to the upper-class Ambassador's Reception and convince their husbands to go with them, sending Fred and Barney to charm school to prepare for the event. But the middle-class foursome ultimately discover that trying to play "stuffy" is no fun.

A similar Simpsons episode, has Marge joining a high society place. It ends with the Simpsons going to a Crusty's restaurant instead of a high society dinner.

I enjoy both episodes very much, but I don't think the Simpsons version is out on DVD yet.

There's an episode where they end up at Krusty Burger.... But I haven't seen the one at a Crusty's restaurant.

"Scenes from the Class Struggle in Springfield" - it's a seventh-season episode, so it probably won't be out on DVD before mid-2006 at the earliest.

(Also, there was another similar Flintstones episode (#165, "My Fair Freddy") where Fred and Wilma are invited to a club (because one of the members' wives overhears Wilma talking about Dino's pedigree and thinks she was talking about Fred), only to realize that upper-class boredom isn't for them, and they get the band to play something upbeat as they do the Duck Walk (to the enjoyment of the upper-crust in attendance, who join in).

Oh, and for the record, Wilma and Betty don't send Fred and Barney to charm school in #38; Fred and Barney go to dancing school (without their wives knowing about it) as they know they would be expected to dance "properly" at the Ambassador's Reception.)

Actually Wilma and Betty, DO send them to charm school in this one. The one where they go to charm school without their wives knowing about it,

is where they join, Joe Rockhead's fire department, in season one.

Thank you, I will be waiting for it on DVD.

There was also the one where Fred thinks Barney is a low class influence on Pebbles when Barney teaches Pebbles to say "shoot pool"

And in that episode Pebbles get's way disproportional to Fred.

Fred moves to a house WAY up on Snob Hill.

Anyway in the end after listening to his Darrock Haye's records he realizes he's a snob and moves back next to Barney

I think that episode will be on the DVD set due out Thesday. That set also contains the one where Barney finds out that Mr Slate is his uncle and winds up being Fred's boss. In that one, the Rubbles become snobs.
