So the episode the other night, they were in Italy. The lead-in for why they were in Italy was so trite and ridiculous (and not just"haha this always happens to The Simpsons" ridiculous)..
This was "wtf?" ridiculous. I could overlook that, but for some reason, they decided appropriate filler was Lisa screaming names of Italian cheeses for a while.
I felt my soul die when I saw a 20-minute cartoon that was so out of ideas, it needed filler.
FILLER!
I used to love The Simpsons, but I couldn't even finish watching it. I had five minutes left and somehow I decided it was a better use of my time to clean out the litterbox.
