Mind Quad is good when used sparingly. The fact that he is only sometimes used is probably why fans loved it when he appeared last night, because of how rare his scenes are. I say keep the mystery.

American Dad delivers a good one immediately after the gem that is "Minstrel Krampus." So many good jokes, and the return of Mind Quad has me excited for what the writers have in store for us regarding the Golden Turd saga. I love the little things the show puts in, whether it's a subtle change in facial expression or…

I just re-watched this and it just gets funnier the second time around. Some of you pointed out the dead water polo college kid in the sled, which I did not catch, so I went back to the episode watching out for that moment, and yes, there is a dead water polo college kid in the sled. AD! is so great with little visual…

Can someone explain to me the thing with the Mother stealing Darrin's van and driving her way to the Farhampton Inn when she pulled over for Marshall and Marvin? I am still confused by that. Okay so the Mother was with Lily at the inn and Lily told her to steal his van…so presumably his van is at the inn so she went…

AD! Christmas specials will always have a place in my heart because "The Most Adequate Christmas Ever" was the first AD! episode I watched and the episode that turned me into an American Dad fan. The best part is that I missed the first act of Stan dying and ending up in limbo; I only caught up to when Stan and…

I noticed that immediately after the waitress said something along the lines of, "It's weird when I make eye contact with my customers" and you see Stan and Francine gleefully eyeing her rack. Too good. I'd say everyone in the Smith household is sexually ambiguous.

When you put it in terms of how committed he can get, I'll grant you that because yeah, Steve's pretty energetic that way. I guess I immediately jumped into the physical aspect while watching that scene, hence my confusion.

I was seriously considering why the hell Stan put down Energetic after Smart and Tricky to describe Steve. Yes, he's smart, and yes, he's tricky, but I never pegged Steve as an energetic guy (for goodness sake, he lost to a guy with no legs and arms in wrestling; "He's so NIMBLE!"), then Stan added to my confusion by…

I'm under the impression that McFarland expected this episode to be a complete parody of Breaking Bad. I knew that wasn't going to be the case when the episode opened with the Boobers restaurant. And you know what? I didn't mind one bit. It would have been too early for a Breaking Bad parody anyway. I'm still not over…

Yeah, but she was with Francine and her alcoholic friend Kelly when she did that. Knowing Francine, a master of shoplifting and most likely of other illegal trades, she probably did something to sneak Hayley in or convince the bartender she's age-appropriate.

I love how Bullock feared being labeled a sex offender by having sex with a 17 year old, but didn't give a crap killing the 17 year old's father.

I was actually surprised that they aged Hayley up to 19. She was 18 at the beginning of the show, and I just assumed they never aged up since. I mean, there was an episode I think where they celebrated Steve's 15th birthday, but after that episode they have another ep where they mention he's only 14, so I just never…

I would have given it at least a B+, because this episode had some pretty fantastic moments, the most laugh-out-loud for me being Stan's date with that boy. Seriously, I laughed the whole way through during that montage. I also love the song, "We Are Young" by fun. so I was already doomed from the start when Nate…

Must have been a slow news day. Canada, eh?

Financially, yes, they are well-kept. Family Guy is, unfortunately, one of the precious babies of FOX, the continuous breadwinner even though it has been nothing but offensive and unfunny for years now. FOX knows Family Guy has been around long enough to keep bringing in the money.

I haven't watched Family Guy in years, having once been a huge fan of it before seeing the light that is American Dad. So when I heard that Brian was killed off, I laughed because man, they must be struggling badly to resort to that. And obviously there were people who fell for it. His "death" was even a story on my…

Twelve episodes later, the patterns of this "wedding weekend in one season" are starting to make me uncomfortable, especially regarding the relationship between Barney and Robin. I've rooted for them the moment Robin "suited up" and became Barney's bro. I cried when they got engaged. But since they have to drag this…

Oh, by the way, I'll probably not survive the next two weeks if American Dad keeps churning out great episodes. If next week's "Faking Bad" is a full-on parody of Breaking Bad, I will lose it. I'm ridiculously excited for that, and even if it's not a parody in the way that the Tearjerker episodes spoofed James Bond,…

Even before that, when he screamed, "It wooOOOoOOrked! It wOOOOOoorked!!!" I was laughing uncontrollably. Man, such great voice work from Seth Macfarlane.

This is fourth grade science stuff!
