had been the star of the show during the early years, by season 5, the focus had clearly shifted to homer. writer / showrunner al jean stated that because homer is an adult character, he has more depth to him and thus storyline possibilities. showrunner david mirkin commented : " bart, to write him accurately as a child, he can only have so much depth at a certain age. with homer, we try to explore all levels of adulthood. there are just more places to go. writing homer properly is the trick, he's our main rock of the whole series. homer's iq is fairly flexible, he won

guide's colin jacobson wrote that he thought the episode ended the season with a " high note ", and that homer ’ s insensitive gossiping about his relationship " presents lots of good bits. it completes this excellent year well. " jacobson's favorite line of the episode was " this is a place of learning, not a house of hearing about things! ", which homer tells his class after they demand him to reveal more secrets about him and marge. patrick bromley of dvd verdict gave the episode a grade of a −, and commented that episodes focusing on the relationship between homer and marge can " never fail ",

" w. w. rouse ball, a fellow of trinity college, cambridge, writing in a history of the first trinity boat club suggested that the broken oar was the deciding factor : "... but for this oxford would have won. " a correspondent writing in the sydney mail said both teams should " consider themselves lucky " that they did not lose, and speculated that the race would be looked back as " the great gooseberry " year. this was the last year that the result was judged by a professional waterman and the controversy resulted in the introduction of the finishing posts.
