It is my personal opinion that this is the episode in which the simpsons jumped the shark. When you have a well known character like apu have 8 children, you have officially run out of ideas. It's almost frightening that a show could go 7 seasons past the point that it jumped the shark, but the simpsons somehow managed it.-The preceding unsigned comment was added by 6hawkt29

In the scene where Apu and Manjula and the simpsons were talking about children apu says,"I have noticed that this country is dangerously underpopulated" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.33.149.202 (talk) 04:21, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
