Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike John Redcorn. But as far as secondary characters go, he can't compare to Kahn or Cotton, for me anyway.

let's try this again
I feel the need to clarify my issue with this episode's continuity, a term that everyone seems to be getting hung up on. I recognize that The Simpsons has never had a point A-to-point B progression, and that there have been many excursions into alternate realities/timelines/whathaveyou. That's…

But you all have done such a great job without me! How could I possibly offer anything new to such fabulous discourse (seriously).

I agree that it felt a little rushed, but I assumed that had to do with Fuller rejiggering the last couple of episodes so that next week's could function as a season finale should the writer's strike prevent a full season (which it's looking like it will). I suspect the whole Ned killing Chuck's dad story was meant to…

Hawaiin shirts=Good ; Peacock hair=SO EFFIN' BAD
I am shocked—SHOCKED—that neither Amelie nor any of the commentors have expressed any hatred for Christian, easily the most hate-worthy contestant in my opinion, and not just because of his hair. At least Elisa's absurdity seems genuine; Christian strikes me as someone…

There hasn't been a new King Of The Hill episode in about a month, which is why you haven't seen anything about it recently. If you go through this blog's archive's you'll see that it has been covered, and that I generally agree with your praise of the show.

I'm in
Even though it did get decidedly more soap-operaish this week, this was the episode that made me go, "okay, I'm definitely in." Dangling carrots aside, I really love the twins' relationship—I feel like I should hate them both, but they're so endearingly obnoxious I just can't.

Radiohead
Fear not, it's coming soon…

Alex II
I agree that Bleeding Gums' death is probably the only death on the show that was actually well developed and touching (one of my favorites, actually), but I don't think it's the only one that had an impact. Maybe Maude Flanders was done in fairly sloppily, but her death has had an ongoing impact on Ned over…

Death and the Simpsons
I'm confused by the assertions that Gil dies all the time. I can think of a few suicide attempts, but I'm pretty sure they were all, like everything Gil does, unsuccessful. There may have been a horrific car crash or two along the way as well, but as we've learned from the many near-deaths of…

Terry's Chocolate Orange
I was excited about the orange M&Ms precisely because I thought they would taste like the chocolate orange. Sadly, I was mistaken. I don't even like chocolate all that much, but I could easily eat one of those babies in a sitting. I was pretty much over the orange M&Ms after two.

Deep breaths…
Believe me, I'm just as surprised as you are at that completely arbitrary grade I gave American Dad. Honestly, grading these things is an exercise in futility—how the hell do you quantify and compare the humor of four completely different animated sitcoms?

The Simpsons
Real, I actually ask this question of myself, especially when I see so much regular hating of the show in these comments from one-time fans. The honest answer is "probably not," but this always leads to a more difficult question: If the older episodes weren't so much a part of my personal history and I…

Animation
Oedipal, I was waiting for someone to bring up the "why is this show even animated" question about KOTH. As someone who has been foisting the show on an unimpressed circle of friends for years, I've come across this argument before. While I agree that it's very easy to imagine the Hill family played by human…

Peter vs. Homer
I think it's a bit counter-productive to compare any of these shows to one another. I never understood the early (back before its original cancellation) assertion that Family Guy was a Simpsons rip-off. All three of these shows traffic in completely different types of humor and storytelling, and…

Small town…
Whoops, lets try this again in the fancy-shmancy official staff box:
