I gave it three out of ten because of past good episodes, granted they seem to be coming less and less.
This episode had some of the things I dislike most about this series: Lois bitching about being let down by others while reminding us she was raised in a privileged background and all the while she's the WORST mother on cartoon T. V.
Oh, dear, you lost your nanny? The tragedy. Plenty of people had far worse parents and she s**** on her Father with predictable regularity. What about the Mother? Does she get a pass? Seems like while Dad was absent much of the time as a parent, the Mother was nonexistent. Regardless, not interested in Lois' nasally whining about how her upper-class childhood was tainted by minor inconveniences.
The hotel story, while full of potential, had three of the most annoying and one-note characters this show has to offer: the principal of the local school, whose only apparent feature is a voice which is best in small doses, an incompetent doctor, that's it, that's his entire thing, voiced by the exact same voice actor and pretty much the same voice as Daddy Pewterschmidt, and the lonely librarian who laughs at her own terrible puns and wordplay. God.
The Lois-Carter Story was tedious. I tapped that little 10 seconds forward button more times than you'd think a "comedy" would warrant but Lois' constant high expectations of others, yet low conduct to her own children, I just don't give a cr*p that she was let down as a kid. Mummy and Daddy didn't tell her to her face she's not worthy of their love as Lois seems to do every episode to one or other of the family. The Hotel Story could have been much better, although I feel like it's been done to death, commandeering someone else's home for some "hilarious" purpose but the three "stars" just suck the oxygen out of the story. Dr. Hartman less so but still, those three characters can never be in another episode and it wouldn't bother me.
A bad episode in a sadly declining series. It's no longer "must-watch" and beginning to look like The Simpsons in that respect. At least with The Simpsons, that Halloween Episode is USUALLY good.
