YMMV / The Simpsons S17 E15 "Homer Simpson, This Is Your Wife"

• Cargo Ship: This episode pretty much canonizes Homer loving television more than his own family. He spends days at Lenny's place, cites TV as a reason to do the wife swap (even calling Lisa "TVsa"), and sings a song about him and television at the end.
• Germans Love David Hasselhoff: The episode was more well received in the UK than in the US and became the show's highest rated episode ever there with 2.18 million viewers watching it during its premiere on Sky 1. This partly due to heavy publicity towards Ricky Gervais' guest starring role and involvement as writer of the episode.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: The central plot of the episode was inspired by UK reality show Wife Swap, which is Lampshaded with Lisa being zipped up in an Creator/ABC sweatshirt after pointing out to Fox she’s seen the same show on another network. 14 years later, not only would ABC premiere their own version of Wife Swap, but Fox would indeed rip it off.
• Unintentional Period Piece: At one point, Charles makes a joke about Donald Trump, before incorrectly assuming Lisa isn't laughing at it because she doesn't know who Trump is. By this point, Trump was simply an entrepreneur and media personality; he was well-known, but the idea of there being people who hadn't heard of him was not entirely outside the realm of possibility. This, thus, pretty firmly sets the episode to the early 2010s at the latest. Now that Trump has been a US president, and a downright infamous one at that, you'd be hard-pushed to find anybody who doesn't know who he is.
