Goofs
India and the US are roughly 12 hours offset from each other; it is unlikely for Homer to talk to the kids during the daylight hours (India) as they would, likely, be asleep in bed.

You might say why this episode is excellent? If you r living in third national like India,They show outside of US and they didn't kidding with that country.I mean Im Turk When I've seen episode in Rio i was upset about it.I think this is the episode about chancing in looking view of 3rd nation.
Also Richard Dean Anderson played in that episode.Im fan of Sg-1 and sci-fi.I think he changed sci-fi he gave it humour.i think he gave inspiration to Big bang theory(Sci-fi fans in comedy series).
All in All, I mean that episode may not be funniest episode in Simpson's but it is about changing mentality also it has a great guest.
