    what i liked- homer grabbing an inappropriate book and screaming, homer's "Excuse me sir, you look like a man who needs help satisfying his wife" line, homer and grampa admitting they are both screw ups, grampa admitting homer was an accident, barney being homer's replacement, etc.
    great episode with a lot of good humor and a good plot. the deleted scenes on the season 6 boxset are also really funny and about on par with the rest of the episode. A+moreless

    When Homer and Marge's sex life fizzles out, Grandpa whips up a batch of bottled passion for Homer. The home remedy proves an amazing success and after a marathon snuggle session with Marge, Homer convinces his father to try and sell the potion. Hitting the open road, Homer and Grandpa rake in the bucks and bond like they have never before. But when they find themselves driving by the house where Homer grew up, the old resentment and hostility bubbles up between them. After much fighting and many angry proclamations, Homer and Grandpa make up. A little unbelievable if you ask me, but an ok episode...moreless

    Homer is having trouble getting it on with Marge. They buy an audio book to rekindle their sex life, while Bart gets a book about the UFO conspiracy. Homer and Marge start trying the books ideas, but nothing works. Abe tells Homer of a home remedy that will give him an instant hard-on. After it works like a charm, Homer has the idea to market it. He and Abe pitch the tonic at malls to start and everyone begins buying it. The children begin to notice that all of their parents have disappeared. Homer and Abe then go on to neighboring towns and they start to get on each other's nerves. Bart and Milhouse start to form conspiracy theories as to where all the adults are. Abe and Homer go to their old house and relive the good old days. This puts them even more at odds and Homer deserts Abe. He is furious with him. Homer decides to spend more time with his kids. Abe gets Barney to replace Homer as he continues to pitch the product. Homer's half-assed over-parenting does not work very well on his kids. He goes back to the house for inspiration and meets back up with his father, but their loving reunion is soured when the house goes up in flames.moreless

    ADD NOTES
    • Grandpa asks if Marge has 'pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis,' which is a lung disease caused by the inhalation of very fine silicate or quartz dust. It is also the longest word in the English language according to the Oxford English Dictionary. Edit
    • Blackboard Joke: My homework was not stolen by a one-armed man. Couch Gag: The family runs past a constantly repeating pan of the couch and TV. Edit

    • (Bart eats a candy bar) Homer: Kids, your daddy and his daddy are involved in a very sticky, nutty, chewy, chocolatey- put it away, boy!- situation. Edit
    • Homer: He said I was an accident. He didn't want to have me. Marge: You didn't want to have Bart. Homer: I know, but you're not supposed to tell the child! Marge: You tell Bart all the time, you told him this morning. Homer: But when I say it, it's cute! Edit
    • Grampa: Here drink it! And think of me while you're having the best sex of your life! Edit

  • Allusions

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • The Nutty Professor Professor Frink drinks Grampa's love tonic and turns into a handsome ladies man. This is similar to the plot of the 1963 Jerry Lewis movie The Nutty Professor where he concocts a potion that transforms him from a nerdy teacher to a smooth lady-killer. Edit
    • The X-Files When the Simpsons are buying their books, one of them sets off a trigger in the scanner that sends a signal to the White House. The music that plays during this scene is similar to The X-Files theme, implying that the book on UFO's set it off, when in reality it lets Al Gore know someone finally bought a copy of his book. Edit
    • Blackboard Joke: My homework was not stolen by a one-armed man. A quick and funny reference to The Fugitive (TV series and movie). The main character, Richard Kimble, was convicted of killing his wife, but always maintained (truthfully, in his case), that she was actually killed by a one-armed man. Edit
