While good it felt like an episode you would see on Family Guy. I could totaly see Peter putting his family in a reality show just so that he could get a Plasma Screen TV.

ahhh how easly we forget

Homer was a grade A jerk before Family Guy

Sure Homer may not put his penis in a toaster like peter..but he was never perfect

I mean he chokes his kids for crying out loud.
Frank Grimes anyone(homer at his worst)..oh Homer can be bad...real bad.

Ricky Gervais. Not just in it, he wrote it too.

seeing the opening in live action was kind of mind blowing.

I only caught this ep cause Charmed was a rerun. It wasn't bad, but I don't see what made it so spectacular.

I dont think it was that good either, I dont care who wrote it. Maybe it's good compared to the way the show is now, but it doesn't match the great epsiodes from the glory years.

Yeah, I thought it was one of the better-written episodes of recent memory, as well. I was wondering just how the hell the writers caught Gervais' style of humor (all that stream-of-thought and such).

Yeah because this episode didn't made me laugh once. The earlier episodes made me laugh non-stop. In not saying this ep is bad but it isn't LOL good either.

Yeah, this is exactly how I feel about the ep. I agree with you and Humanist Hero here.

Nowadays, I look at the Simpsons as that employee who does just enough to never get fired, but doesn't do enough to ever get a promotion.

I thought tonight's episode was alright (the Charlie Sheen joke cracked me up, as did the ABC joke), but it's by far the least funny thing Ricky Gervais has ever done. If Ricky Gervais can't make The Simpsons truly hysterical, it's time to let it end.

It didn't help that he more or less wrote his own character to be David Brent except less of an asshole.
