I honestly don't get why this episode is hated by some. It is actually really good and gives a very great insight into Nicole's parents and how they have affected Nicole like just in general. That being said however, the particular thing about this episode that 'draws' me to it is wishful thinking. That being wishing that Duncanville had an episode that followed through the exact same concept as this episode of Gumball, where we get to see Annie's parents, which we never managed to since Duncanville had gotten cancelled after only 3 seasons.
I think, had Duncanville theoretically had an episode just like this, that would have been an instant fan favourite, as the "mystery" regarding Annie's childhood would have explained a lot about her characteristics and what not. Imagine how much more beloved that show would have been with such sort of episode! It would have been really really great!
So as it stands, as an episode of Gumball focusing on Nicole's parents, the episode is really good, not perfect, but really good. But as a theoretical episode of Duncanville focusing on Annie's parents, this would have been excellent, and would have truly been the greatest episode of that show by a mile, as they can easily nail down the fundamentals of this topic area and execute it far better. I think it would have drawn more people into being more interested in that show and having it last a lot longer than 3 seasons!
I might as well pitch this idea to save Duncanville from cancellation! Think it would be a brilliant idea, honestly...
