The Telltale Head
"The Telltale Head" is the eighth episode of The Simpsons' first season, and it originally aired February 25, 1990.[1] It was written by Al Jean, Mike Reiss, Sam Simon, Matt Groening, and directed by Rich Moore.[2] In the episode, Bart cuts the head off of the statue in the center of town to impress Jimbo Jones, Kearney Zzyzwicz, and Dolphin "Dolph" Starbeam, three boys Bart admires. When the boys tell Bart that they would be appalled (unaware that Bart stole the head), Bart sees the error of his ways and eventually does not show them the head. After telling his family, Homer and Bart head to the center of town, where they are met by an angry mob. After Bart tells the mob he has made a mistake, the townspeople forgive Bart.[1] The episode's title is a reference to the short story "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe.[3]
