Bart's blackboard quotes

home

Episode numbers indicate the blackboard scene used when the episode was shown for the first time; in some cases, the one used in Canada is listed where it was "original" and the USA one was repeated. Note that all quotes were originally in all capital letters, but any punctuation appears as it did in the original quotes. Openings are listed in the order in which they were first shown. If an episode is not listed, either it did not have a blackboard quote the first time it was shown, or it used a repeated opening. "x" after an episode number indicates it took place during the episode "*" indicates a note: 7G02 I will not waste chalk
