Talk:Eight Misbehavin'

message: It is my personal opinion that this is the episode in which the simpsons jumped the shark.  When you have a well known character like apu have 8 children, you have officially run out of ideas.  It's almost frightening that a show could go 7 seasons past the point that it jumped the shark, but the simpsons somehow managed it.-The preceding unsigned comment was added by 6hawkt29
