But also . . . it's a TV show.

What I loved about this episode — besides Roger singing along with the Stelio Kantos song — was that I saw it going in a clear direction/resolution (Avery *not* being crazy and everything he was babbling about turning out to be, in fact, true) and it took another way out.

I think it's better than Family Guy, actually.  The characters on FG blink about 3 times an episode and that pisses me off.

I think it's an apt comparison.  Apt!  The ending of "Family Fracas" reminded me of a conversation that occurred during an early Simpsons episode (and I'm paraphrasing here):  "Mom, is this a bad ending or a happy ending?"  "It's an ending.  That's enough."

I'm with you.  One of the reasons why American Dad is so much better/smarter than Family Guy is because Seth MacFarlane is only involved with the voices.  He doesn't write any of the episodes.  And I don't think any of the FG writing staff writes for AD.  Which makes for some good watchin'.

I have no idea if any of that is true, but you, kind sir, have just made me very happy.

I tend to think Tyler Perry is deep in the closet. And the ending of Temptation is just more evidence of that for me.  As Perry may be a closeted, conflicted, black gay man, I'm sure there's not much more he's afraid of than contracting HIV, thus, he worked this into his screenplay (let's not forget that in the play…

I hated it too.  Season 6 was the worst, most joyless season of Buffy and the musical episode didn't help.  By that time the whole "Dawn-is-a-shoplifter-and-sad-girl" really exhausted me, as well as mopey emo Buffy.  Other than "Under Your Spell" perhaps, the songs weren't really memorable.  The musical worked better…

I'm probably in the minority here, but even though I love Futurama, I've never been a fan of their songs.  They're rhythmically and tonally strange and not catchy.  The possible exception being the bureaucrat song.

When J.J. Abrams came up with the idea of "Alias," he was still writing for "Felicity."  I believe he was about to start writing season 4 and thought something along the lines of, "What if Felicity was a spy over the summer?  That'd be so much more fun . . ."  Later, after "Felicity" had ended, J.J. Abrams said that…

This episode was American Bore-or Story.
