Gervais' Simpsons episode to air March 26

Well, we've known for awhile now that Ricky Gervais, The Office creator and
revered funnymen on both sides of the pond, would be penning an episode of
The Simpsons. What we didn't know, however, was when the show would air.
Well, it looks like March 26 is the magic day. In Gervais' episode, titled
"Homer Simpson, This is Your Wife" Homer and Marge take part in a "wife
swap" reality show. Gervais will play Charles, one of the contestants who
falls in love with Marge. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe
this is the first time an outside party has been allowed to write an
episode. It will be interesting to see what Gervais brings to the episode,
and how his own humor will blend with that of the show. Methinks they'll go
together like peanut butter and chocolate.

That's such a corny premise for an episode...it's not an auspicious
beginning for Gervais.

All the Simpsons episodes have are corny premises. It's the humour that
makes an episode good, not the plot. Even with that aside at least
watch it first before judging it.

Some episodes have non-corny premises.

Lately that's been less good, which is why a strong premise is
important.

I haven't judged it yet. I just said it was not auspicious. Look it up.

I remember reading on this newsgroup that some sort of writers' union rule
required the show to accept an "outside party" episode every now and then.
Mind you, this doesn't mean they'd accept a script from someone off the
street! The outside writers would still be Writers' Guild members with
experience in writing for TV. They just wouldn't be part of the regular
writing crew.
