Jumping the shark
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
