Some questions asked in the courses include:
The Regina Monologues | Reception
Jean was "so nervous, it was ridiculous" when he met Blair, an event he has cited as "one of the most fantastic moments of his life". Blair was the top choice to guest star in the episode, but the staff did not think they had a chance to get him to appear. Blair is the only head of government to guest star in the show, with Rudy Giuliani (who played himself in the episode "Stop! Or My Dog Will Shoot") the only other politician to guest star. J. K. Rowling recorded her part via satellite from her home in Scotland, and Ian McKellen recorded his over the phone.

The second question would be a regular question like in previous seasons, and for the third question a new system was presented. Instead of a regular question, the host would read a statement, and then words that needed a match to be given, for example, if the statement was "Books and authors", the host said "Don Quixote", and the contestants had to say "Cervantes", then the host said "Romeo and Juliet", and the contestants had to say "Shakespeare", and so on, until the contestants gave a wrong answer or the usual 45 seconds were over. This type of question was introduced from the British adaptation of the show.

Voice actress Yeardley Smith noted that she would like Brown to appear in "The Simpsons", but Brown ruled a guest role out stating: "I think Tony Blair did that, I don't think that is for me". Series creator Matt Groening confirmed that Brown would not be approached for a part. The episode has become study material for sociology courses at University of California Berkeley, where it is used to "examine issues of the production and reception of cultural objects, in this case, a satirical cartoon show", and to figure out what it is "trying to tell audiences about aspects primarily of American society, and, to a lesser extent, about other societies".
The Regina Monologues | Reception
The episode originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on November 23, 2003, and on January 9, 2004 in the United Kingdom on Sky One.

IGN.com named the episode the best of the fifteenth season, saying that "It may not be the best episode ever, but hell if it isn't a lot of fun", as well as calling it "extremely funny" and a "high point for the past few seasons". Tony Blair received criticism from a number of commentators for his appearance in the episode due to the fact that he recorded his part at the height of the war in Iraq.

The Regina Monologues | Plot
This problem got worse as the cast got older. The impressions were also often made fun of for being nothing more than thin caricatures of one or more of the politician or celebrity's characteristics (i.e. Roger Abbott's portrayal of Jean Chrétien as a twisted-mouthed man who ridiculously mispronounced English words with an over the top French Canadian accent, Jessica Holmes' impressions of Celine Dion as a diva and a whiny Liza Minnelli, and Craig Lauzon's impression of Stephen Harper as a robot).

On the other hand, Simon Crerar of "The Times" named Blair's appearance as one of the 33 best guest appearances in the show's history, and the BBC classified his appearance as a "PR masterstroke". The episode is included on the "Around the World in 80 D'ohs" DVD. When Blair left office in 2007, it was reported that his successor as Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, was also being lined up to guest star on the show.

Speaking with talk show host Oprah Winfrey, Rhimes said: "Cristina was second, simply because she's the kind of woman I know really well, and I like her. There's something interesting about a person who is that driven, a little bit emotionally disconnected but still a caring, sweet, and smart individual you could be friends with." Sandra Oh, initially auditioned for the character of Bailey, adding: "Thank God I did not get that part", explaining the show would not be the same without fellow cast member, Wilson.

Lail expressed her alarming concerns on the audience's reactions and impressions initially, but later explained that "I think we are programmed that way. Myself included. With all the rom-coms and fairytales we've read, we're programmed to root for the hero at any cost, unfortunately. And so, my hope is that these women notice that inside themselves; and ask themselves, 'oh gosh, why do I love this terrible man?' I hope they recognise it as an unconscious bias (that's inside most of us), and actively work against it."

The reason I always was such a fan, I read her "The New York Times" bestseller. She was one of the people who I felt equally possessed the same amount of talent as she did beauty. Her work that she did throughout her entire career–I watched her on "General Hospital" and what I always loved about her was that she was elegant. Whenever I do red carpet looks one of the things that I like is to always make sure that there’s a sense of elegance and class. And I felt like she always exuded that."

Saturday Matters with Sue Lawley | Introduction
"Ottawa Citizen" television critic Keith Ashford, reviewing the first episode to be broadcast on 12 January, blasted the series as "unfunny, uninteresting and shamelessly derivative", noting that a sketch featuring marital counselling was taken from a Monty Python routine. Dennis Braithwaite of The Toronto Star, meanwhile, issued a rave review of the show on 18 February, calling it "as light as a souffle, as brilliant as a diamond", and claiming it was "only rivalled by Global's "Second City"", then still in its first season on TV. However, reviewing the episode of 23 February, Braithwaite noted that the performers he had earlier praised were all now absent from the series, and that the resulting episode was "awful, terrible, beyond question the worst attempt at humour that even the CBC has ever made."

Other episodes that aired in the first several months were devoted to Mel Brooks, Muhammad Ali, Oscar Peterson, the rocking Randy Newman, Stevie Wonder, and the history of punk rock. The show faced some criticism for a 1979 episode devoted to the comedy of Monty Python. Initially planned to centre on an exclusive preview clip from the troupe's then-forthcoming film "The Life of Brian", the CBC responded to the clip's potentially controversial religious humour first by blocking the episode from airing at all in the show's early afternoon time slot on the Radio network, permitting it to air only in the later evening Stereo timeslot; then by censoring the clip down to less than half of its original length; and finally by simply blocking the entire episode from airing on the network at all.

As a whole performance, BroadwayWorld's Troy Frisby found the typical commentary in the second show to be lacking in substance, as in most cases it did not touch on song selections or reveal who she is as a musical artist – exceptions to this were mentions of being a child enamored with old movies when none of her peers were, and her experiences growing up in hotels. Smith agreed with this assessment, saying that Agron's minimal use of commentary "feels as if she's second-guessing herself" but that "what she lacks in expression through connective commentary, she wholeheartedly makes up for in expression through these songs".

He gave the episode a "C". TV Fanatic's Christine Orlando was more positive, and gave the episode 4.6 out of 5 stars, saying that "The Thing You Love Most" was "a great second outing" for the series. She complimented the production design and applauded the conflict between Emma and Regina, citing her favorite scene as "when Emma took a chainsaw to the Regina's beloved apple tree." Like Sava, Orlando thought that Maleficent was underused and criticized her hair and the scene for its poor special effects.

Club" graded the episode a C saying that "the major problem with this show is that there isn't a central character [...] Even Larry, the straight man of the bunch, plays second fiddle to the ambiguous sexual talk of Andrew, and the pathetic ball of sweat that is Willard. I need something, anything, to ground these shenanigans, of which there are many, many, many."

In each edition, a member of the audience would be crowned "King or Queen of the Show", either at random or as a reward for sending in an especially entertaining letter. After being crowned, they would be offered various items from a trolley; these items would all be linked by the current theme of the show. The crown and trolley would be brought on by the normally mute ("We can't afford to pay you to speak") Trevor and Nathalie (Trevor Lock and Nathalie Brandon) who would sometimes be dressed in outlandish costumes.

The second season of "The Pepsodent Show", an NBC radio program that starred Bob Hope, introduced two female characters, Brenda and Cobina. Richard Zoglin, in his book "Hope: Entertainer of the Century", described the pair as "two shrill-voiced, man-hungry society girls ... the first incarnation of a favorite Hope comedy foil: the homely, sex-starved spinster, obsessed with landing a man." The characters were parodies of Wright and her friend, debutante Brenda Frazier. Wright took offense and sued, resulting in the dropping of the characters from the program. Lawrence J. Quirk, in his book "Bob Hope: The Road Well Traveled", commented, "The irony in this was that Hope had only chosen the names of Frazier and Wright because in reality they were cultured beauties—the exact opposites of the Brenda and Cobina on the show.

Meanwhile, David and Mary Margaret turn to the last person that could help them, Mr. Gold. When the two tell Gold that they need something that will help find Regina, Gold tells Lacey to step into another room and then opens his cabinet to take out a bottle consisting of Regina's tear, which, when mixed with another teardrop allows the person to see and feel everything the other experiences.
