Summary: Former President George Herbert Walker Bush becomes the newest resident of Evergreen Terrace, moving with his wife Barbara into the large house across the street from the Simpsons. Everyone in the neighborhood is excited to have the Bushes in Springfield, but Homer and Bart get off on the wrong foot with the former Chief Executive. In a decidedly non-wimp act, Bush spanks Bart after the boy destroys his memoirs, and from that moment on it's war between Homer and Bush. A series of escalating pranks leads to a fist-fight between the two men. George decides that Springfield is not the place for him to live out his golden years and hightails it away with Barbara. In his place, former President Gerald Ford moves in and becomes fast friends with Homer.

TRIVIA

This episode is a culmination of the war of words between the "The Simpsons" (1989) and former First Couple George Bush (I) and Barbara Bush (I). Barbara Bush referred to the show as "the dumbest thing I've ever seen" in a 1990 interview with People magazine, and George stated when appearing before the National Religious Broadcasters that "We need a nation closer to the Waltons than the Simpsons." The writers of The Simpsons responded in an episode aired a few days later when Bart claimed "We're just like the Waltons. We're praying for an end to the depression too", and in the episode "The Simpsons" (1989) {Mr. Lisa Goes to Washington (#3.2)}, which showed Barbara Bush in the White House bathtub.
