"Stans Best Friend" comes to mind as one of the big ones, being quite pro-euthanasia.

"I'm definitely starting to feel it".

What drugs are you on, and can I have some?

I'm surprised how positive the reception to this one is. Maybe it's cause I went through a good chunk of the classic era just last week, and I don't watch this show every week, but this seemed to be one of the poorest Simpsons episodes in a while. The satire was really lame (oh how insightful, Judd Apatow casts his…

Oh I was just doing that to make you guys laugh.

I thought the first act and a few cutaways were enough to warrant this a C-ish grade, but other than those parts it WAS pretty weak.

Wouldn't a totally fantastic episode help people forget the situation better? Like "yeah, they pulled a lame stunt, but by golly they're still putting out classics!".

Those are just the facts though. He has remained the showrunner for Family Guy for many years, only stepping out at various points because of other personal projects. No he doesnt write every joke, but he's there okaying the jokes that are in scripts that become episodes (he was also said to sit on cutaway pitching…

What, you mean don't like having the completely-fucking-obvious pointed at to you?

Yeah, the morals are solid. They'll occasionally be a little too blunt with Stan learning a lesson, but they're mostly good and they help define who the characters are. I like when they subvert it too though…my favorite is probably from "Stannie Get Your Gun". Stan gets paralyzed by a bullet and eventually realizes…

Also, John Viener. He plays the generic voice you hear in all of the cutaways…also did the voice of New Brian. In other words, terrible. He wasn't a part of the series until the revival, and his voice is one I associate with the bad FG years.

Yeah, the emotional beats weren't a huge part of the episode, but it gave the episode actual character stakes, and as a result gives logic to the characters actions. It's good writing.

That is great. What's funny is there's another classic Edie Brickell joke involving Klaus, when he gets left a cassette tape of hers in Constance Mathers will and is annoyed about it;

AD is probably one of the goriest network shows, although this season hasn't been too bad. Only really this episode and "Minstrel Krampus" (which was a holdover anyway, and plus the gore came from sentient household items) had a lot of blood. I don't think they overdo it that much to be honest…nothing I've seen has…

Roger was in wonderful form tonight. I loved the fact that he was the sane one, and even managed to show some emotion at the fact that the Smiths didn't really care about him, just his power.

Another great bit was Klaus with the cocaine, thinking Rogers warning was to him. Also Klaus saying "slam the door if I get really rich!", then Roger proceeds to close it as quietly as possible. Also, "Am I about to say something funny? I want to say something funny". Basically, Klaus was gold tonight.

Oh, it's coming.

Good question. And I believe the criticism and hate lobbied at FG in the episode talkbacks is perfectly warranted. But just because a certain show like Bobs is currently in it's beloved honeymoon state doesn't mean their can't be conversations to be had about it that are somewhat critical.

I think Tina is a great character. I love Bob as well. The other three, while funny, aren't that great of characters to me. They're GOOD characters, for sure, but for me they don't reach greatness. Yeah Louise is basically a bitch until she isn't, but episodes like tonight make the inevitable heartwarming ending feel…

Casino is a fan-fucking-tastic, and I definitely put it on the same level as Goodfellas. I saw The Wolf Of Wall Street last week which has obvious structural and thematic similarities, and while I enjoyed it, it definitely wasn't quite on the same level as those two masterpieces.
