REVIEW FROM TVGUIDE.com

      Simpsons
      The Bart Wants What It Wants
      30 min.
      Reese Witherspoon and Wolfgang Puck are guest voices as Bart and
Milhouse fight over a girl.
      The object of their affection---and altercation---is Greta Wolfcastle
(Witherspoon), the daughter of action-film star Rainier Wolfcastle (Puck).
After Bart and his slingshot rescue her backpack from bullies, Greta is
immediately smitten. But her crush is unrequited, and the oblivious Bart
blows off a date with her in order to harass Principal Skinner at his
stand-up comedy debut. Clued to Greta's feelings, Bart breaks off the
relationship---until Milhouse steps in. It's only then, in the name of love,
that Bart asks his parents' help to win Greta back by following her to her
dad's film set...in Toronto.

Earlier Episode References: Wolfcastle still has the Humvee-The Boy Who Knew Too Much

Best College in South Carolina? According to the Simpsons, it is USC, home of the Gamecocks. Take that Furman and Clemson!

Quick Review: Not a bad episode but not a great episode either. It is cute to see Bart having feelings for a girl, but it has been done before a couple times. Actually, the Homer-centric moments were the funniest of the show. All in all, a solid B.

If my memory serves me correctly, on Sun, 17 Feb 2002 21:01:33 -0500, Stephen issued the following challenge to face my invincible Iron Chefs:

(Lisa: "I'd rather go to Charleston Southern!")

Musical ref: "Take Off", credited to Bob & Doug McKenzie off their "Great White North" album in 1982, though the musical vocals are those of Geddy Lee of "Rush" fame

did Lisa actually say the Charleston Southen comment? If so, that is too cute/funny.

I missed the last part as well.

Please, someone, what was the actual dialogue concerning the gamecocks?

I watched the episode again and there was no mention of Charleston Southern... Homer did scream out GO GAMECOCKS as he was pulling Lisa away, though...

Actually, I think that the Honors college at USC-Columbia may in fact be the most academically rigorous of the schools. Maybe Homer knew what he was talking about after all?

I believe Lisa protested, "I will not be a Gamecock!" to which Homer responds, "Yes! You will."

Personally, I enjoyed the - "You're going to Stanford" tease earlier in the season more.

And later, when Lisa asks why *he* was out so late too, Homer admits he was at a cockfight.

Homer: <something something> I promise you'll go to the best college <under breath> in South Carolina</under breath>

Lisa: I will not be a Camecock! (grabs fence)

Homer: (pulling Lisa off fence)Yes you will! Go Gamecocks!

Are the TV Guide writers idiots?? Wolfgang Puck voiced himself not Ranier Wolfcastle.

University of South Carolina is generally known as SC, in fact their website is www.sc.edu...USC is the University of Southern California.

Hey, I've been gone a couple of weeks, I had to nitpick.
