the episode where they did the 80s montage and where everyone shot everyone (it was a dinner party or something) were pathetic.

it's funny seeing these threads... i denounced it big time when it was brought back (after seeing a few episodes, i was a big fan of the fact that they were reviving it) and i got bashed

now people are finally jumping on the bandwagon.

Funny to say American Dad is MUCH funnier than FG. This weeks episode was one of the best... FG wasnt bad this week, its getting better. "oh, i thought we had a clip, we don't? ok..."

the war at home is growing on me too. this fox lineup on Sun night rivals, the simpsons, hermans head, get a life , babes from the early 90s... funny how it went from 75% live action to 75% animated.

lol my favorite part was when Peter was trying to cover up his farting by coughing, and then the lady asks him if there is a problem...

"No...."
"No No No No Noo.."
"Nope"
NnnnnnnnnoooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooo..."

It's been pretty terrible for a while now, I don't even bother trying to watch new episodes anymore.

No. And tonight's episode was very funny.
which parts specifically?


The opening scene, showing the Army commercial. And Stewie and Brian in boot camp.

The Army commercial was hilarious.. AWWWW YEAAAH!

I also liked when Stewie did the "I thought we had a clip" bit, Peter covering up his farts, and Stewie shooting the Vaudeville guys.. "There.. they're DEAD.. You won't be seeing them ANYMORE."

I bought up to season 3, and i will stop there. Bunch of those eiposed even anger me when they try to kill time with those scenese that come out of nowhere and drag it for minutes. Really, those aren't funny. To be more specific, stewie talking to brian about his book and making fun of him in a high piched voice.

i have to admit that seasons 1-3 are hit or miss but season 4 was hilarious. Every episode was funny to me. Haven't seen season 5 yet though.
