Episode List

The family wins a trip to Delaware, but Homer refuses to pay the tax on the ticket, so they ride the rails and meet a hobo who sings and tells them some tall tales. The first is the tale is about “Paul Bunyan” and here we are treated to Homer playing the role of Paul as a giant doofus, a natural role for him. The next tale shows us Lisa as “Connie Appleseed,” who tries to convince the pioneers to eat apples instead of buffalo. The third tale isn’t really tall, it’s a Mark Twain tale about Tom Sawyer (Bart) and Huckleberry Finn (Nelson), whom go on the run when Huck won’t marry Becky (Lisa).
