It originally aired on Fox in the United States on March 25, 1990.[1] It was written by Jon Vitti and directed by Rich Moore.[2] In the episode, Bart orders a mail-order spy camera, which he uses to secretly photograph Homer dancing with an exotic belly dancer. Marge makes Homer apologize to the exotic dancer to teach Bart that women are not objects. Sam McMurray guest stars in the episode as Gulliver Dark,[2] the man who introduces Homer to the crowd at the burlesque show.
The episode was well received by critics and was the second highest rated show on the Fox network the week it aired. This episode, along with three other episodes of the show, is featured on The Simpsons "Gone Wild" DVD released in 2004.[4]
