I could guess, but why don't you just go ahead and say it? I'm not sure what you're implying, it could be anything.

I'd say the Gaga was for pandering to fans of a celebrity to get them to watch. Making a Gaga centric episode at the height of Gaga's popularity is pandering. As compared to having a few lines by George Harrison or Paul McCartney which were at their height of popularity 20 years earlier. When contemporary celebrities were used like Smashing Pumpkins is was as a cameo, not the focus of the entire episode.

The all woman Itchy Scratchy episode would be panned because it's punching down on the feminist movie remakes.
