More about: Lady Gaga
Singer's 2012 cameo wasn't well received by fans
The Simpsons episode in which Lady Gaga made a guest appearance has been ranked the worst episode in the show's history, according to a list based on IMDB ratings.
The list, which has been assembled in graph form by a fan, maps out every episode of the show's 25 seasons from highest rated to lowest according to the aggregated scores on IMDB. The 2012 episode 'Lisa Goes Gaga', which features a guest appearance from the singer, is bottom of the pile, with an IMDB rating of 4.9.
The episode, which was part of season 23, sees Gaga trying to boost the egos of Springfield after discovering it has the lowest self-esteem on the planet.

Though the episode was not badly received by critics, with Gaga describing her cameo as "one of the coolest things I've ever done," it seems fans of the show disagreed. The episode is the only one in the show's history to be ranked lower than 5 out of 10, with only 4 others ranked below 6.
The highest ranking episode in The Simpsons' history is 'Homer the Smithers', which originally aired in 1996 - sadly solidifying the popular opinion that The Simpsons jumped the shark about fifteen seasons ago.
