No Such Luck

First of all, I'm sorry. I know I talk about this one a lot, but I do genuinely think that this is an episode that worked on paper, but was not executed in a great way. The moral it was giving off was that even the pettiest lies can affect you the most negatively. And this is a pretty good lesson to teach in theory, but they went way overboard. I'd say that Lincoln staying home from the movies was fair, as he was taking advantage of all the free time he was getting because of his lie, and that is not too harsh a punishment. Kicking him out of the house was way too much, though, and it's kind of hard to look at Lynn Sr. and Rita now. Yes, they're the ones I blame the most here. While the jokes about them selling Lincoln's furniture and him having to wear the squirrel suit on the beach, I'll admit, were really funny, it is still really hard to watch. I don't hate the episode. I mean, I'll give it credit for trying to convey this message. I really will. They just took it too far a lot of the time. But, it's still not a bad episode.
