It's a good parody and critique on female reboots of media that originally starred men. It wasn't a brilliant episode but the ladies of the show are always great, and Katlin Olsen is always hilarious.
But women can't win even when they're generally agreeing with an angry male audience. It hit all the topics and tropes of these kinds of reboots and basically made it clear that even women often don't appreciate the pandering and would appreciate their own things.
So the panning of the episode makes me think it often really does come down to a feeling that "the icky girls are trying to steal our things!" Even when they're telling you you're right they're still wrong.
Though tbf, I guess in the end it is a less funny version of a classic episode and the concept is very on the nose so it probably urks people more and it's what keeps me from reviewing this higher, even though I think that was the point.

This episode, as usual, is absolutely hilarious. It is always a blast to have an episode full of the recurring side characters, and they do not disappoint.
I've been a Sunny fan since the beginning. I've seen every episode. Almost every episode in the first 6 or 7 seasons was absolute gold. There's a been a lot of hit or miss in recent years, and it's kind of downhill. This episode, though, was great. It was a perfect commentary on the ridiculous nature of some of the remakes and reboots currently being done. It may have been the best episode since the original "Gang Beats Boggs".
Y'all rating this episode one star have literally no critcal thinking skills and are basing your opinions entirely in misogyny. The writers of this show have always been feminist and liberal but yall cant read in between the lines lmao
I mean i loved every character on this episode. Artemis' scheme was great and her lines about female empowerment by tea and rocks were absolutely top notch. Dee shines here and she is perfect on being the sellfissh prick that just wants to beat the boys at any cost. The waiter is great, i laughed my ass off with frank's t-shirt...and it has charlie's and mac's mom who is one of the funniest characters on the whole show for me.
I dont tend to give opinions on tv episodes but seeing this so unfairly rated kinda oblige me to do this. It is a great episode and what dee was always about: being the girl in the middle of the guys and the conflicts she had with that since the beggining. And all the secundary characters work and have funny archs. Really loved it.

- TriviaFirst episode not to feature Dennis.
- GoofsIn the beginning of the episode the Flight Attendant (The Waiter) recognizes Dee and queries why she doesn't recognize him from the restaurant in Philly. He also mentions that he was their waiter during the Super Bowl in Minnesota. This has not happened yet in the season and suggests that the episodes are either not in a chronological timeline or the episodes were re-arranged from their original structure. However, in the opening subtitle of both episode 8 "Charlie's Home Alone" and episode 9 "The Gang Wins the big game", it says the episode took place 1 year earlier correcting the timeline and predating "The Gang Beats Boggs: Ladies Reboot.
