Armed with a self-help book given him by Marge his teaching them the fringe benefits accorded Western workers gives him a godlike status and eventually the family must rescue him,'Apocalypse Now' style before Burns declares the experiment a disaster and send him home. Selma and Patty kidnap their 'McGyver' heart-throb Richard Dean Anderson who enjoys using his old plotlines to keep escaping from them until they are finally sick of him. Written by don @ minifie-1

Trivia

When Homer is looking for Apu's relative named Kavi in Bangalore, Kavi is found standing in front of a shop on the busy street. The board on the shop reads as "Shoemaker", written in the local language Kannada. See more »

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. See more »

Nutshell ;This is perfect episode for out of US
16 August 2011 | by (Turkey) – See all my reviews

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.
