Am I the only one that thought the show wanted me to think that the perm was so amazing that all the women were just blindly furious about it?

Quoting a line the kid character says, neglects to mention the incredibly compelling and original relationship Tony has with him in the movie.

I usually cringe at the Family Guy reviews, because the hate train after its renewal has been unstoppable and repetitive and almost wholly derivative of what Trey Parker said about it.

You make a good point about the nature of the time-travel in the story.  As science tries to conceive of the whole multiverse deal mathematically, our art is following suit.  And it's more Primer than BTTF.

Review Review: C-

No.  No it isn't.  Jerry Lewis, a physical comedian, was known to be popular with the French.  Whether this is terribly accurate is another matter, but it's a well-believed 'fact.'  And was certainly the original inspiration for The Kids and Family Guy with no crosstalk necessary.

Came here for this.  It would make me feel old, but I'm 29 and only knew Lewis from endless AMC marathons in the 90's.  Kevin could have at least encountered similar jokes on The Simpsons and pretty much any crappy sitcom of the past two decades, but whatever.

"This is all interesting enough, but then we get bogged down in a weird,
irrelevant-feeling storyline about Pod the squire’s insane properties in
the bedroom, which…what? This had better have a bearing on some future
episode because here it felt like a waste of my valuable time."

Watching the scene between Margaery and Joffery was a goddamn masterclass in writing/blocking.

My favorite was Troy enthusiastically not knowing the words to the song.

"Actual note I jotted down while watching the episode: “Roman calls
Crixus a coward. Probably a bad idea.” Nailed that prediction!"

How did you write a review without complaining and including endless references to tenuously similar events in other television programs?

I liked this article.

<3 Andy listing the symptoms of depression to indicate how he feels without acknowledging/understanding it. <3

It would be great if you could understand the difference between "vague reference" and "parody."
