No, LC, wouldn't do that. You're obviously not alone. As I said above, one person's funny is another's WTF?

We get the point of the Twitty joke, it's just that FG relies on the "it's going on so long, that's the joke" stuff too much and just starts to smell like the manatees ran out of material and needed to fill time. See: Bird, Surfin'.

Humor is impossible to quantify, either you thinks it's funny or you ain't.

The final anagram which only made sense after Lisa's incorrect solve was kinda clever. But, like the crossword ep, the writers might be spending too much time on wordplay crap.

Yes, a fourth Back to the Future ref definitely freshened up the ep.

Yeah, that outer space shot did seem pointless.

The Return of "That Guy"
Mr. Belivered might be a mistype, but that kaballah thing, there's no excuse for. Amazed I didn't catch it.
Great def for catillion, PedLitMusk, much better than my image of a ball for cats.
FA, it's "free rein." been seeing this one a lot lately.

Wow, Claeheap, that's some very active listening. I didn't pick up on those anachronistic refs.

The ineffectual, soon-to-be-murdered mom in Natural Born Killers.

That Mitchum joke was great.

Yeah, that was great.

According to GMarshall, the network was worried over the "hoodlum" aspect of the Fonz, so they decreed that he couldn't be seen wearing the leather jacket while on his motorcycle at the same time. Since Henry Winkler couldn't ride to save his live, the leather jacket stayed and the bike went.

The show officially died the day Fred shave off his goatee. Coincidentally, the Jackie's pregnant marries Fred stuff was the death knell. But it rode a pretty fine 6 seasons or so before that. Unfortunately the lottery season sucked SO HARD that it erased all the goodwill of the previous years.

Futureana is the collected tomes of the celebrated author J. Frederick Future.

It sure felt like quite an awkward shoehorn to get Marge blinded and Maggie stolen to finally start the DaVinci plotline.

Yeah, I get that that's what they were going for, they do it all the time. Sure didn't tickle me though - cept for the bizarre, awkward title of the song, which escapes me.

Aww, the beaver was funny. And Chris spiking Stewie (didn't need a Charlie Brown tag though). I didn't even mind the datedness of the OJ stuff, they covered their asses pretty well with Peter's cluelessness.

Some Great FG Moments Tonight
Brian's enforced celeb interview w/Stewie
Stewie's correcting Lois on Chuck Conners not being in TInferno
The pillow fight degrading into mayhem
I loved OJ's gee-gosh demeanor throughout the show, and the requisite punchline
The OJ opera
NOT great was the CTwitty timewaster - same song as

Religion is "unrelated" to the subject??? That's as persuasive as your "semantics" argument.

Agreed, mad. To say that this issue boils down to nothing more than semantics is indeed, bullshit. This is about "my god is better than your god." Otherwise why inflict the world to the endless proselytizing from mandatory missionary work? Not exactly a "live and let live" sentiment.
