Lena Dunham. Isn't she the idiot who diddled her sister and like half of Tumblr defended it?

Fuck that, now I have even less reason to give a shit about this show.

It's funny, until I found out who she really was, I thought she had some relation to Jeff (the guy with the puppets).

But yeah, this has made me lose all respect for the show. Fuck, I don't think I could muster up anything for this episode other than "What the hell did I just watch?"

I think the only praise I can even give the episode is how surprisingly snappy the animation was during the opening scene (reminded me a bit of the earlier seasons and how they normally did that kind of animation). But otherwise I have next to nothing to say other than "What the hell?" But as far as episodes go, it's up there with some of the worst/most stupid the recent seasons have to offer. But I wouldn't go as far to say that the FG crossover was better than this.

And remember how Beverly D'Angelo and Michelle Pfieffer threw themselves at Homer and he turned them down? What does Lena Dunham have that they don't besides USI, a lot more weight and fucked up sexual perversions?

Increasingly desperate and hacky writers at the helm of the show.

The funny thing is, you could still get some mileage out of a "Homer and Marge are breaking up" storyline if you actually stuck with it for more than one episode and made Homer and Marge's new SOs characters who actually stuck around. South Park is absolutely pummeling The Simpsons in terms of quality and relevance right now specifically because they're going out of their way to not reset the shows continuity anymore, and even before Stone and Parker started this they were still consistently running storylines with teeth and modern cultural relevance like the episodes about Muhammad.

Watching The Simpsons on FXX last year was an interesting experience, because there were some great episodes and really bad ones. The constant guest stars are cancer to the show. I read that Lisa's permanent conversion to vegetarianism was a concession they did to have Paul McCartney on the show, and the other guest stars are just used in the most inane and ludicrous plots, like Lisa becoming a magician, or some whole episode on some Southern accent girl we never saw again.

That was one of the reasons why, I think, Marge vs. the Monorail was a great episode, because they DIDN'T suck up to the guest star (Takei was first choice for that episode, but he wanted the episode rewritten to be more even-handed toward public transportation).
