I'm not very familiar with what American Dad was trying to parody here, but I enjoyed this episode anyway. It was not big on jokes, but I appreciated the tone it set. Kudos to them for sticking to the sepia theme the whole way. I loved Scott Grimes's narration. He could be narrating about rotting mayonnaise and I…

I came on here thinking this episode would get perhaps a B or a C but a D?! I guess I'm just not used to it, this is American Dad after all. I can't think of an episode off the top of my head that disappointed me as greatly as this one.

The point was to allow Jason Segel to do his other commitments while still having him on the show. Not a very good point, but a point nonetheless. The only thing that was worth this road trip plotline was seeing Daphne and Marshall unabashedly belting out "500 Miles," just as I predicted they would do (everyone comes…

Oh yes, you're right, he did do it for Stewie, not Peter.

High-pitched Stan did feel a bit too Family Guy for me. Probably because Seth Macfarlane has already done that ridiculously exaggerated pitch with Peter, and I hated it. What made up for it was how his affliction merged nicely with the balalaika trio. I would have preferred the song with Stan's normal voice, but I…

I didn't know this was the episode Bryan Cranston was going to be in, so I was pleasantly surprised when he came up. I hope I'm not the only one who got Walter White vibes whenever he started getting angry at Ted. (Then, of course, he reverted back to poor pathetic Druthers and I was brought back to the reality that…

They've scattered bits and pieces throughout the show to demonstrate that Barney does like kids. At the end of James and Tom's wedding, Barney goes over to his new adopted nephew (might I add, wearing a cute little suit to which Barney says, "Great suit!") and gives him a high five. Also, when Robin tells Barney that…

There better be a scene in the next episodes with Daphne finally warming up to the song and both she and Marshall singing at the top of their lungs a la callback to Ted and Marshall road trips, "AND I WOULD WALK FIVE HUNDRED MILES AND I WOULD WALK FIVE HUNDRED MORE!"

What can I say that hasn't already been said by all you lovely people?
Ah, heck, I'll just say 'em.

Gosh, the boat scene had some incredible music. What instrument do they use to create that twinkling sound? I really liked that they focused on Mako this episode, maybe now people will lay off him a bit. He's the only one doing something while his fellow officers just make fun of him.

As a former fan of Family Guy, I did enjoy "Petergeist." But if we were to compare the two (which wouldn't be a fair comparison since the plots are different apart from the poltergeist theme), I'd say American Dad still did it better. Its characters are so damn likable and they all have great chemistry that it's easy…

I laughed so many times in this episode.
Highlights:
-Klaus has a pet smaller fish
-"I'm serious, Steve…I felt a dark presence when nobody's there…and yes I would like another turn."
-Francine's poltergasm is actually really scary. The one in the washing machine freaked me out, but the one that briefly appeared with the…
