High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! "The Two Mrs. Nahasapeemapetilons" is the seventh episode of The Simpsons` ninth season, that originally aired on November 16, 1997. It was written by Richard Appel and directed by Steven Dean Moore. The episode sees Apu Nahasapeemapetilon marry Manjula, and incorporates several aspects of Hindu wedding ceremonies, which the writers researched during the episode`s production. Appel pitched the episode several years before season nine but the idea was not used until Mike Scully became showrunner. The episode`s subplot, which sees Homer stay at the Springfield Retirement Castle, was initially conceived as a separate episode, but could not be developed in enough detail. The episode received mixed critical reviews.
