“Who ever doesn't get his or her butts over here pronto, will go without dessert!”
―Mrs. Simpson
Eating Dinner is the seventh Simpsons short and originally aired on The Tracey Ullman Show July 12, 1987.
Plot
When attempting to call the family for dinner, Mom is disappointed because the family does not arrive. However, upon the threat that anyone who does not arrive will go without any dessert, the family quickly scoot to the table. She then points out the family forgot to say grace before eating. Dad conducts grace while Maggie innocuously looks around the room. Then Mom comments that the family could do with having manners, as they are all slurping their soup. She then tells them that dinner should not be eaten in silence and be a time of communication, so Dad suggests Bart to fetch the television. Bart gets the T.V. which they all watch.
