The Son Also Draws (The Simpsons Guy)

The Son Also Draws is the second episode of the second season of The Simpsons Guy. It originally aired on Fox in the United States on February 15th, 1990. The episode follows Bart as he is ejected from the Youth Scouts, and Homer drives the family to Scout headquarters to get him readmitted. During a rest stop at a Native American casino, Marge gambles away the family car. Homer pretends to be a member of the tribe in an attempt to get it back, and is sent on a vision quest to prove his heritage, giving him and Bart an opportunity to bond.

Plot
Bart hates being in the Youth Scouts and wants to quit, but is afraid to tell his father Homer. Bart is finally kicked out when he runs over the troop leader during a Soap Box Derby. Homer insists on driving Bart and the rest of the family to the Youth Scout headquarters, in Manhattan, to get Bart readmitted. While they are gone, their talking dog Brian is watching Nova just as the show is interrupted to show several episodes of the sitcom One Day at a Time. He tries to change the channel, but is unable to do so (nor he can turn the TV off), losing his intelligence shortly after watching a few episodes.

The family stops at a Native American casino as Homer needs to use the bathroom, Marge quickly becomes addicted to gambling and loses the family car. After hearing that Marge has gambled the car away, Homer tries to get it back by claiming to be Native American. The doubtful Indian elders demand that he go on a vision quest to prove his heritage. Bart accompanies Homer into the wilderness, hoping to tell him that he only wants to draw instead of being in the Scouts. Delirious from hunger, Homer begins talking to anthropomorphic trees and sees a vision of his spiritual guide, Fonzie. After hearing Fonzie's advice Homer finally listens to Bart's complaints and realizes his son is a talented artist.

Homer and Bart return to the casino and reclaim the car. The episode ends with Marge, Stewie, and Lisa counteracting stereotypes about Native Americans, Mexicans, and Swedes, respectively, before Homer comments that "Canada sucks."
