Marge feels worthless. Has to rediscover her worth. Everything works out fine for her marriage in the end. Who saw that coming? Despite feeling tired of this particular storyline as of last season, this isn't a bad little episode. Not least because it's not down to Homer doing something bad for once. It doesn't quite hit the reset button. And nearly all the jokes land. Great fun with the sports commentator and the lack of interest people have in the sport in question. But whatever else, this episode gets eight out of ten alone for the Riverdale joke! It's brilliant!

This episode wasn't interesting; the exposition wasn't funny at all and the scene with the YouTube video felt like a horrible attempt of the writers trying to appeal to the current generation of children and teens.

Lisa was acting uncharacteristically, she usually tries to show something meaningful in her school projects, but here she just insulted Marge with no other intent.

The main part was boring and uneventful. I feel like if the episode had a longer running time, the story could have developed better and been more interesting, but the plot was a spin-off of other episodes that challenge Homer's and Marge's marriage.

The ending was very shallow. The only thing that the viewer can get out of it is that queer people have a sense of morale, but the delivery of this point was lazy and felt more like an afterthought that would make the show go back to the status quo.

Overall, the only reason why I gave this episode two stars instead of one was the kind of funny scene with Nelson acting like Maggie that actually made me chuckle a bit.

Cutting down logs competitively sounds like yard word chore simulator.

She's been on as many crazy fun adventures as Homer.

The irony in this is that this episode makes her look boring.

Hope she doesn't end up in something new boring.. like a mopping competition.

This wasn't funny and had a bad plot too.

The only points (stars) it gets is for being a unique plot and not a clip show.

This whole episode started because Lisa insulted Marge unprovoked. So much for being the kindheated voice of reason. Then Marge decided to be a lumberjack and she starts hanging out with another girl who is a lumber jack. Homer thinks that Marge will leave him for her. If the conflict is all in a characters head there is basically no conflict. And Its really disapointing that Homer can't be suportive of his own wife. Families are supposed to be suportive of each other. Marge alway does her best to suport Homer when he is not doing something stupid or illegal. Those moments are rare but they do exist. She was supportive in the beer baron episode. Its that lowsey episode where Marge becomes a police officer all over again. Marge became a cop and Homer was sexist and teased her the whole episode. Or the one where she was in the play and Homer was upset. Apparently Marge isn't allowed to have dreams or a life or that makes Homer upset. They should really retire that character triat and have Homer be supportive.

Ironic how the whole first act was about Marge realising people think she's boring. Well damn right, I was falling asleep in my chair at this frustratingly boring storyline.

All the characters in this episode were annoyingly insecure. Homer thinks a woman is falling in love with Marge, despite there being absolutely zero evidence of this. Because a woman is gay, she is supposed to lust after every other woman?? What an outdated and disgusting view point. LGBT people have morals as well, you know!

This episode felt so hollow and pointless, and you reach the end of it feeling nothing but relief that it is finally over.

A few other points to note, which made me hate the episode even more:

I said it before, but i'll say it again. Kevin Michael Richardson has an incredibly annoying voice, and his characters infuriate me.

The song playing over the lumberjill montage and over the credits is so annoying!

Maybe I was missing something, but I didn't "get" any of the Portland jokes. Maybe they just weren't funny at all, and there was nothing to "get".

Over all, a particularly bad episode, even by season 31 standards.

I love the Simpsons and can say I have watched every episode including when it was just little episodes on whaterhernams show.

THIS is Just a quick review. I liked where the show was going and thought it was funny with Marge partnering with an obviously gay lumberjill to do something that was not boring and make her feel like she had a life other than just being a housewife and mother (They revisit this theme a lot) and then they freaking RUINED IT. The girls, Marge and her friend are enjoying a campside fire after working out to get ready for a lumberjack competition.

Two squirrels are enjoying the fire with Marge and her friend and next scene shows them having killed the two squirrels and put their bodies on spits and roasting them. WHAT THE H**L?

WHAT JERK thought that was hilarious? I stopped watching after that. I don't give a darn that it is a cartoon, it was tasteless and gross and completely something MARGE WOULD NEVER DO.

RUINED what looked to be a great episode. Don't care how it turned out. Yes that sort of thing bothers me in shows. I hate it when Family Guy is always killing dogs as though we are supposed to think dogs being shot, run over, killed in various ways is just kneeslapping hilarious. Seth must really hate dogs. He did it with JURASSIC BARK as well.

I don't care if it is cartoons or live action TV there is NO Reason to kill pets for entertainment. Or any animal for entertainment. So go ahead and make fun of me for being upset over this but I don't think killing animals for a terrible cheap laugh is anything but really bad taste and we are talking about the Simpsons here.

I hope they do not stoop this low again.
