War, war never changes...
This episode shows how people start a war between eachother. Over a simple thing, like small fraction of territory or a lemon tree. I cannot explain everything. Go, check it out yourself.
PS: I'm planning on doing chicken fight Bart vs Shelby. If anyone does it first, go ahead. I'll be happy to watch.

Bart goes on a mission to take back the disputed lemon tree claimed by Springfield and Shelbyville.
This is a very funny episode with excellent character moments.
The plot is an amusing lampoon of everyday tribalism between neighbouring communities, thinly disguised as a spoof of Homer's 'Iliad'. It uses numerous characters hilariously, especially Bart, Homer, Nelson, Martin and the Shelbyville counterparts.
The humour is quite consistent, with a number of memorable sight gags and plenty of strong banter. My favourite running jokes are the disrespect Homer shows Flanders' RV and the Shelbyville incest references.
I love the brief sequence of Lisa and her Shelbyville friend playing peacefully together with the kite.

Battling Villages
This focuses on Springfield/Shelbyville folklore and the retrieval of a classic lemon tree. Bart and the gang confront the Shelbyville kids who have grown up weird from in-breeding. Their ancestors found their female cousins attractive and you can imagine. It has some pretty funny stuff in it as the whole Bart gang cross the border.

One of the best comedy episodes
This episode is so good with comedy that it really surprised me. And it's not just the comedy that was great the story line is great and the payoff and foreshadowing is awesome. If you want comedy this is a definite one to check out.
To The Lemon Tree
Great episode, allowing us to see a bit more of Shelbyville and the people that live there. Some great one liners, good back story and all in all, one of the better Season 6 episodes.

- Quotes
Shelbyville Grampa: And with that, a mighty cheer went up from the heroes of Shelbyville. They had banished the awful lemon tree forever, because it was haunted. Now let's all celebrate with a cool glass of turnip juice.
