Episodes you just don't bother with

My local FOX affiliate just showed the "24" episode of the Simpsons,
which I find stupid and unfunny enough to just ignore.

This episode, along with most of them from last season (especially the
Topher Grace/blue licorice one) are just so dumb and not funny that
when they're on, I usually find something else to do.

What episodes strike you the same way?

Too many to list, most of them Lisa-centric.

Any episode where Lisa sings - NO thanks.

Which is what Elvis did in the episode of Itchy and Scratchy that Lisa
and Bart wrote.

I thought that was one of the best of recent years, actually.

I D'oh-bot is one I never need to see again. And the one from last year
with the flashbacks to Homer and Marge in some hotel.

Any show featuring Homer's mother, may she burn in cartoon hell.

Except for Bart's character and the weak ending, I enjoy this one.

I'm sick of the surprising numberof episodes in which Homer and Marge
fight, with the exception of Secrets of Successful Marriage (probably
because it was first). The movie rubbed me the wrong way for this
reason, too.

See, I actually like the episodes with Lisa. She adds a bit of
intelligence to the program. All the Simpson's characters balance each
other out (e.g. Homer/Marge, Bart/Lisa).

I'm kind of amused (but not in a spiteful way) when Lisa does something
and it slaps her in the face. An immediate example was the esisode with
the dolphins, she helps one escape and then mankind gets dominated by
them.

There was a story in the paper today about a woman "who loved nature" who
got bitten to death by coyotes. It reminded me of Lisa, I can just
imagine the woman going to pet the "cute little coyotes" and having it go
bad.

Or the football game with girls, synthetic ball, and donations going to
Amnesty International.

Timothy Treadwell (the grizzly bear guy) has to take the cake in the
naive idealist department... talk about 'doing a Lisa'.

This happened in my home province of Nova Scotia around the time you
made this post. The fact that the woman loved nature was immaterial
to the attack. She was not trying to pet them. They came out of
nowhere and attacked her; an extreme rarity for coyotes. There is
absolutely no comparison to any Lisa story on the series. Am I to
understand you actually found this woman's plight hilarious?

I heard that she was on the rag and the coyote's smelled blood and just
did what nature programmed them to do.

Not particularly funny. Kind of like the average Seth MacFarlane gag.
