Simpsons Top 100 Countdown
#16 A Fish Called Selma
Season 7, Episode 19 (Guide from the Simpsons Archive)

Troy McClure is a washed-up former movie star, out of work due to public rumors about his bizarre fish fetish. When he visits the DMV to get the corrective lenses restriction removed from his driver’s license, he bribes Selma with a date. After he receives positive press from being seen in public with a woman, his agent encourages him to further the relationship. They get married, and eventually Selma learns that their whole relationship is a fraud. She decides she can live with it until Troy wants to have a baby to further his career and she can no longer tolerate the charade. Memorable moments include the Muppets, Homer’s explanation of Muppets, DeLorean, Wiggum, Abe Simpson, various mentions of Troy’s personal life, Troy talks with his agent, anecdote, smoking, proposing, television banter, leading lines and letdowns, the musical Planet of the Apes, meeting the Simpson kids, bachelor party, Homer at the wedding, revealing the sham to Marge, wedding cake candy, wedding night activity, revealing the sham to Selma (both by her sisters and by Troy), convincing Troy to have a baby, naming the baby, trying to make a baby, and the ending credits news report about Troy (there was more to the ruination of his career than his fish fetish).
