The Simpsons: The Girl Code (2016)
Season 27, Episode 10
1/10
Well, is it really so difficult to make a Simpsons episode like they used to?

Firstly, an episode that features an unlikeable and cruel character as the protagonist, portraying it as normal, is not likely to be well-received, to begin with.

Secondly, it is an episode where characters express their emotions artificially and without any acceptable logical sense. The children's reaction to the feminazi character and Marge's concern about a trivial internet matter may come across as uninteresting, giving the impression that the characters are not on par with the audience's intelligence level.

Thirdly, Lisa's current role is not only artificial but also irritating. The current pattern in modern Simpsons episodes, where she takes center stage in a plot with little interest, merely to showcase her desperation to do something intelligent in life, is both annoying and dull.

What I'm trying to convey is that those currently producing and scripting the series will never understand that the show's early success was rooted in therapeutic humor, featuring characters relatable to the audience and plots that had logic and interest.

Nowadays, this is not the case because the businessmen who saw the series as a cash cow never needed therapy; they needed money.

Who finds it amusing that these businessmen are getting rich by creating an episode where they believe the audience will laugh at Homer dancing a Greek dance in a Greek restaurant? Congratulations, businessmen. I hope you're stuffing a lot of bills into your pockets while laughing at the audience.

Before Homer became a dishwasher, I was already waiting for this senseless episode to end.
