"Barting Over" is the eleventh episode of the fourteenth season of the American animated television series The Simpsons, advertised by Fox, and indicated on-screen to be the 300th episode of the show (though in broadcast order, it is the 302nd episode, as noted in the episode proper, and the 301st episode in production order). It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on February 16, 2003. The episode was written by Andrew Kreisberg and directed by Matthew Nastuk.
In this episode, Bart discovers that he used to be a child star in commercials—and that Homer spent all the money he earned. In retaliation, Bart petitions the court to be legally emancipated, and he moves out of the house. The band Blink-182 and skateboarder Tony Hawk appeared as themselves. The episode received mixed reviews.
