Remember was Lisa was just a smart 8 year old and not a raging bitch? Those were the days.

So the entire first season hinged on the premise that Melissa wouldn't sleep with Phil because he was already with Carol, despite the fact that they thought they were the only three people left on Earth.

This was a terribly forgettable episode. The only great moment for me was Homer's fantasy football team name, "Somewhere over the Dwayne Bowe."

The crossover was one of the worst Simpsons episodes of all time. On the plus side though, it was one of the best Family Guy episodes in years.

Classic 24 ploy: take the important character off the one field op that is doomed to fail miserably. The second that Kate was confined to headquarters, it was obvious that the operation was going to end with nearly everybody killed.

I would be so happy if the entirety of the final seven episodes was just Ghost Bert basically turning into Ghost Harry from Dexter, constantly showing up and pointing out obvious things to Don, but through intricate musical numbers.

The big takeaway from Heller's speech: even after all the presidential assassinations, attempted assassinations, presidential resignations, nuclear bombs, etc. in the 24 universe, apparently the US (and UK) still found time to start wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Now that's some serious multitasking.

Nice to see that Hannah McKay is using Dexter's last name as part of her newest alias. Can't wait to see the scene where Jack easily dispatches Quinn and Batista.

From their titles and premises, I thought that this week's Simpsons and Family Guy episodes had the potential to be the worst episodes in both shows histories. Surprisingly enough, this might have been the best night of Fox cartoons all season.

So Brian may have hit a baby with his car, two teenagers committed suicide, and Chris imprisoned Stewie in a backpack for five days. All in all, pretty inoffensive Family Guy episode.

True, although the episode I was describing was actually "The Son Also Draws."

Season 1 Family Guy - Peter and Chris bond by going on an Indian Spirit Quest in the woods together after Peter tries to get Chris back into the Boy Scouts.

Did I really watch an episode of Family Guy that hinged on the premise that the Patriots lose too much? As a Jets fan, all I have to say is Fuck you, Seth MacFarlane.

Finally someone says what I've been thinking: The Simpsons started going downhill the moment the writers began putting more thought into the couch gags than into the episode.

B-? Seriously, a B-? That might have been the worst Family Guy episode ever, and these days that's saying something. The songs were not just unfunny, they were practically vomit-inducing. D- would've been more appropriate.

I'm pleasantly surprised with the way this show has managed to flesh out it's supporting characters so quickly. After the first few episodes it seemed like the only two characters worth following would be Bill and Virginia but now I'm legitimately interested in Libby, Ethan and the Scullys as well. Libby in particular

Jane sounds EXACTLY like Peggy Olsen, and even looks a bit like her too. It really messes with my brain every time I hear her speak.

This list is incomplete without the inclusion of the one and only Zapp Branigan.

Even at its best, the show's fatal flaw was that none of the storylines that didn't revolve around Dexter were even close to being interesting. Even the best characters, like Doakes, Lundy, the Ice Truck Killer and Trinity, were only interesting based on their relationships with Dexter. So once they got rid of

Jim Parsons now has 3 Emmys for playing Sheldon Cooper. Steve Carell never won an Emmy for playing Michael Scott. Something's wrong here.
