I would say folk is more of a greater society look, more than just politics. You right, it has always had a political thread through the genre, but for some reason it is the most important one for Americans.

Did not know that.

Oh I didn't mean to say that this was bad, I really liked this episode. I meant that this is bottom of the barrel for American Dad, it's par for the course.  American Dad has never been bad, and at it's worst it was the first season still trying to find out what it still was.

I love, absolutely love, how Americans cannot separate country music and politics.

This episode (that I really enjoyed) is stereo typical American Dad, bottom of the barrel writing  (I still like bottom of the barrel American Dad, it's kinda like draft beer). I like this episode because it's weird, and lazy; American Dad can pull off these two like no other show. Not every episode has to be an earth…

I don't know what's so bad about this episode. Yea, at times it was a little forced (the stereotypical British references was probably the low point). But this episode had the makings of a great episode.

John Swartzwelder is still the master of the simpsons. He created episodes that look like spinning plates, while at the same time throwing out these strange tangents that were simple in there delivery, but weirdly profound. Every episode looks like it will come crashing down upon itself. This chaotic style and sheer…

Yea, the Polka-dot door was also one I remember. I don't even know what it was about, about I remember the opening, that and reading rainbow.

I wouldn't doubt that a lot of people who worked on Mr. Dressup, also worked on Mister Rodgers.

I don't know if most American's know, but in Canada there was a little tv show just as important as Mister Rogers Neighborhood. Mister Dressup was essentially the same type of show, but made in Canada. It actually was made before Mister Rogers. As a kid I never watched Mister Rogers because Mr. Dressup was there…

True, you got me there, it's not Fritz the Cat shoving as much counter culture in a animated  film as possible, or Clone High's super high concept and super surrealness, but baby steps on network tv is still steps in the right direction.

I would have to disagree with you Aussie50, the strict adherence to the play formula is what makes this unique. We don't see the family running around back stage getting into costume changes and having a third story behind the scenes (although that might work really), it reminds me to much of…

This right here is why American Dad is the best animated show on fox, thoughtful, meticulous, and experimental; It has fun while continually stretching it's boundaries. Tear Jerker, Rapture to Remember, Tears of a Clooney, Phantom of the Telathon, all best of episodes of AD because they try to be different; they are…

I love how monosyllabic the butler from Homers fantasy is. I steal hes only line in the whole series all the time.

Shit, what was my line again? Ah hell I'll blow some shit up.

EGG HEAD LIKES HIS BOOKIE-WOOK!

God I missed these.

I love American Dad's Christmas episodes. I have a special place in my hart for purposely skewing the holiday tradition in shows. South Park is the only other show that can compete with American for skewed Holiday episodes.  Woodland critter Christmas, Red Slay Down, Christmas In Canada, Mr. Hankey's Christmas…
