And yet, even Family Guy, as far as its fallen, made people laugh, once upon a time.

Exactly! It's so strange, how can you not like it! Some of the people here are real fuddy-duddies, maaan.

Futurama had also been off the air for a half-decade before it came back, while American Dad! was still live and kicking when it jumped networks, which made the whole thing much smoother, as not much actually changed in the production, and the majority of the writing staff stayed on as well too (with the exception of…

Seasons 3 and 4 of The Cleveland Show are legitimately good, and season 2 isn't bad. Even season 1 has a couple of standout episodes.

There were like three cutaways in the pilot. More than the show usually uses (which is almost always zero), but certainly not close to a Family Guy level of manatee gags.

You should catch up. The first TBS season was a little rough around the edges, but not bad, but this current season has definitely been a big return to form.

Yeah, there was still a few episodes left in the series' run on Fox, but when they decided to stop reviewing Family Guy they dropped American Dad! with it.

That "You're the Best" thing was my favorite recurring gag in the episode. Homer singing a musicless version the first time was funny enough, and it worked to sort of undercut how no one was getting trophies for anything they deserved.

The fact that I am forced to give this comment an upvote makes me hate you all the more.

The actual reason behind that is pretty simple. The show's animation production moved out of Korea, and is entirely done in America now. This means the directors can easily add in small touches which they couldn't do before due to the constraints of having all of the animation being done overseas.

Yeah that musical number was really good. Highlight of the episode, which is saying something, because the entire thing was great through and through.

It's like every time I return to the A.V. Club they're promoting American Dad! only to not actually bother reviewing it.

Hey man, 88s are cool. It's literally double infinity. And if school yard rules have taught me anything, it's that double-infinity is the only thing that beats infinity-plus-one-no-take-backs-ha-ha-I-win.

"Yes, yes, the people of South Park are all getting caught up in movements beyond their control. We get it."

'Member Breaking Bad? And how you couldn't wait for next week to see what happened next because it was so good.

Do what I do… Discuss them on /co/.

I'm not sure if Comedy Central would agree to that. They like having SP as lead in for other half-hour shows, and if the episodes were extended to an hour long they wouldn't be able to do that. I'm sure they could figure out something, but it would definitely mess with the schedule.

Yeah, I don't even think the episode is trying to justify it. They're just explaining it. That a troll could be just an average person, who uses it as a way to vent.

I mean… 4chan and Reddit aren't actually bad places. I frequent both, and while parts of them can be awful, they're more than the sum of their parts. 4chan isn't all /pol/ and Reddit isn't all /r/TheRedPill after all. I've had some really deep, thoughtful conversations with people on 4chan, and I've found extremely…

Only 4 years? You paying before that? I don't know how to tell you this… But Facebook is free for everyone…
