I hope when this show gets cancelled Rob pitches the networks on Orgasm Guy: The Series. It would make up for the last 20 years of things Rob has done that aren't Orgasm Guy.

You mean this song didn't chart? I'm surprised.

Lazy and hastily written, but the jokes that landed were pretty hysterical, particularly Wilfred Brimley, War Games, lame girls in Mexico and Jewish fight club. Family Guy was never good at writing biting satire or meaningful stories, but its gag hit-or-miss ratio is what defines it, and this episode had a few goods…

A bottom ten episode. I'm only giving it a D- because I laughed really hard at the George Washington / James Madison thing, but this episode managed to combine dated satire - Glenn Beck isn't even on tv anymore, which is seriously pushing the limits of timing for a satirical target - and an annoying guest star: It's…

Entertainment writers are still invoking the catch-all "slacker" in regards to anything in pop culture that doesn't pander to the sensibilities of mainstream America in the same way that Jeff Foxworthy comedy routines and Disney movies do? The 90s really did never end!

I think the first four seasons are all uniformly good, with a steep dropoff in five and season six being a complete train wreck. Pointless cop drama subplots, cheesy villains that seem like something out of a bad made for tv movie, bad dialogue, forced humor, a clumsy exploration of religious themes that seems glib at…

Most of the jokes here felt like outtakes from Futurama - okay for that show, but I like my Simpsons with some subtlety, not one grotesque, macabre conceptual gag after another. This was like a whole episode of the "10,000 years in the future" tag from "Rosebud" - Stuff like that can be hysterically funny when done…

Is Carter the nudity obsessed convenience store clerk played by Jon Benjamin? I guess I'm really not a Family Guy fan.

I spot a Mr. Show reference (Ramming Speed), and Salem Bitch Trials is clearly a reference to a hilarious SNL sketch with Shannen Doherty. I probably still won't listen to any of these bands, though.

She reminded me of a Family Guy caricature of a typical 20 year old girl, with her haughty demeanor and vague, noncommittal responses. Like, whatever.

I've heard people compare them to Blues Hammer from Ghost World, but I'd say they're more accurately classified in the garage rock idiom, as opposed to blues, which traditionally has more of a 12-bar stanza in its structures.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell… A tale most ribald indeed! Plenty of dangerous sex, without any tawdry explicit depictions of intercourse to go and spoil things. I like it!

I couldn't resist the urge to do an mst3k-style riff at the episode title.

The Monkees were my favorite band growing up as a young kid thanks to tv reruns in the 80s - They were my gateway to the Beatles and 60s psychedelia in general.

I didn't think white trash still drank PBR. I think they drink…Milwaukee's Best? The price to alcohol content ratio seems perfect for the trailer park demographic.

"Or, did we just see the straight-up end of Kenny? That’s highly doubtful. Maybe Trey Parker and Matt Stone are just as sad about the demise of The Cape as Abed over on Community, and will have Kenny appear in Season 16 only in his Mysterion disguise. Mysterion itself was another callback to the show’s Kenny-centric…

This is good news, but I hope they switch to a reasonable production schedule and hire a few extra writers, as the recent SP documentary showed just how stretched thin Trey and Matt are.

There was an episode of Duckman where dozens of future screwed-up iterations of Duckman go back in time to warn him about the consequences of something. This trope has apparently been done quite a few times before.

In real life, Seth Macfarlane was an electron position away from being on that flight on 9-11. He was switched to another plane at the last minute, and the rest is history. So if anyone is qualified to make jokes about 9-11, I guess it would be him.

"scares based more on the inevitability of circumstance than bad choices"
Yeah, the lack of the former and too much of the latter is what seriously mars both the series AND the comic book. There's a great show somewhere in there, enough to make me keep watching, but I have to work to suspend disbelief.
