Storyline

- TriviaAlthough Ricky Gervais came up with the plot of the episode and wrote parts of it on his own, the whole writing team of The Simpsons worked on the script and pitched ideas, as is done with all episodes. Gervais has said in interviews that he thinks he received too much credit for writing the episode, claiming he merely sent his plot ideas, along with some written scenes, to Jean through email, and it was then the staff of the show that "made it look like a Simpsons script." He commented in a Dazed & Confused article that "I'm going to get the credit, but I think everyone in the industry knows it was a joint effort." One of the scenes that Gervais wrote himself was Charles' love song for Marge, which later appeared on the 2007 soundtrack album The Simpsons: Testify.

Featured review
All time worst episode of 'The Simpsons'
Ricky Gervais does not know how to write a Simpsons episode ... wait, scratch that: Ricky Gervais does not know how to write for comedy shows in general, especially for American shows. Most of his "brilliant writing" just consists of awkward and cringe scenes, which DOES NOT work with a show like The Simpsons even though some may find it appealing in the UK. Ricky Gervais of all people should not write for The Simpsons, the show was already on the decline at this point but this episode made me lose all hope that it would return back to it's glory days (seasons 1-8). This show needs to bring back the OG writers or the current writers need to start watching the older episodes again, because it seems that they've lost the whole style of the show.
