User blog:Electricbassguy/The Worst Episode (IMAO)

In my opinion, the worst Simpsons episode of all time was "Behind the Laughter." It fell flat for me because I had never seen the VH1 "Behind the Music" features that they were parodying. That's one thing about a parody; if you can't find it funny without having viewed the source material, then it's not funny. It also took the Simpsons out of their comfort zone, by transforming them from an average family with problems to some superstars who were PLAYING an average family with problems. I hope that Groening stays away from this type of episode in the future. It's really unnerving to see OFF in that light.
