Season 23 episode 22: Rating 3.9: Lisa Goes Gaga: Lisa helps Lady Gaga and learns the importance of being yourself.
Season 30 episode 18: Rating 4.6: Bart vs. Itchy and Scratchy: Krusty releases an all-female reboot of Itchy and Scratchy
We can guess at why those two got the lowest ratings of the entire series.
I could guess, but why don't you just go ahead and say it? I'm not sure what you're implying, it could be anything.
I'd say the Gaga was for pandering to fans of a celebrity to get them to watch. Making a Gaga centric episode at the height of Gaga's popularity is pandering. As compared to having a few lines by George Harrison or Paul McCartney which were at their height of popularity 20 years earlier. When contemporary celebrities were used like Smashing Pumpkins is was as a cameo, not the focus of the entire episode.
The all woman Itchy Scratchy episode would be panned because it's punching down on the feminist movie remakes.
Is that feminist? Giving women a recycled story with a history and a ton of baggage instead of a universe thats really theirs? You're setting them up to never be their own thing, always compared to the original.
See, ladies? We made movies for you but no one liked them...obviously because of misogyny, not because they were obvious and soulless cash grabs.
It's corporate feminism.
That's the other thing. Take a beloved franchise, with expectations through the roof. Hire the laziest writers you can find, making sure none of them understand what people connected with in the source material. Market it as "look, the movie you loved, but with vaginas now!"
I'm convinced ghostbusters 2016 was created solely to give ammo to chuds.
I've no idea either.
Thank you for the info, i assumed it would be "treehouse of horror" episodes. My mum didn't let me watch them and said they were horrifying 🤧😭
They're not as good as the old ones by a lot, admittedly they're frequently pretty bad but I still kind of feel like the treehouse of horror episodes tend to have at least one passable story and are usually the highlight of the season.
I remember how horrifying the first Treehouse of Horror was with checks notes an Edgar Allen Poe rendition of The Raven.
Yeah mate sounds awful
