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.
grampa's magic medicine hide show
an odd way to start a review is at the end but i have to mention this because this episode has one of my favourite endings where homer and abe both visit their old house not knowing the other is there and burn downtheir halves of the house:
homer: oh dad, i'm a screwup, i burned down our house!
abe: no son, i'm the screwup, i burned down our house!
homer: you know what?
abe: what?
homer: we're both screwups.
and like that the argument is over. other gags i liked in this episode were the ideas the kids were coming up with as to why their parents were acting strangely including the reverse vampires theory. the twist at the beginning at the bookstore where bart was buying an alien book saying that there was a big conspiracy and when a book is swiped, the barcode travels through many airwaves and it turns out that it was al gore's book that lisa bought. abe was a great character with heaps of great lines in this episode and the fact that the marriage tape that homer and marge get just make things worse. definitely well worth seeing.
