Galileo908 December 13, 2016 Share December 13, 2016 I've been watching! I've missed overly weird American Dad. I'll agree, Roger as Madonna was great, it was so totally him. You just gotta wonder how Klaus knows all those people in Florida. Loved the Dole Whip shout out. Loved seeing the Morning Mimosa women again. What was Day Three going to be? I feel like either they never said what it was, or I missed it. 1 Link to comment
ganesh December 14, 2016 Share December 14, 2016 I thought the show took a break. I don't think E5 was recorded on my DVR, so I ended up watching this one first. I mean the whole joke how Snot is poor, but. Jewish. So wrong and so hilarious. Wow, Franny's been pregnant *4* times! 2 Link to comment
ganesh December 14, 2016 Share December 14, 2016 The line reading of "like a pig in shit" was brilliant. Tell me who doesn't want to see a crossover with Baywatch/Wheels and the LegMan? Link to comment

I'm not a fan of separate episode threads for sitcoms and animated shows. I think it cuts down on interactions. 41 minutes ago, ganesh said: Wow, Franny's been pregnant *4* times! Well, technically Francine's had four children. I hate that they ignore that she bore Greg and Terry's daughter, and there was "Bailey," Hayley's twin, whom she and Stan didn't vaccinate in the episode where Hayley is a sleeper agent. 2 Link to comment

Galileo908 December 20, 2016 Share December 20, 2016 (edited) Allright, finally back to the weird Christmas episodes! Love how they referenced, well, most of the past ones. It's good that there were consqeuences to that shootout with Santa a few years back. And I never expected a Christmas story tying into The Epic of Gilgamesh. Well done. No surprise that Roger uses Grindr, and that the Christmas Park is a popular spot for it. Ha, Roger's bible is a D&D Monster Manual. Loved Grandpa Krampus coming back, and as a Baltimore bus driver. EDIT: Jeff is halfway to Jimmy Buffet's yacht. Will we follow up on that? This season seems to be following an arc with Jeff and Hayley. Edited December 20, 2016 by Galileo908 2 Link to comment
Spartan Girl December 20, 2016 Share December 20, 2016 Yup, after all the messed up Christmases the Smiths have had, it makes sense they'd plan to skip it by freezing themselves. And of course Steve is the one to mess it up... Had to laugh at how they attempted to grab Steve and run without giving a crap about Santa's master plan. You just can't escape monologing! And I love Francine suddenly being a Gilgamesh expert and sassing Santa over it. Love the return of Krampus Jack! Guess he can't be the new Santa after all, since Santa is still alive, LOL. 3 Link to comment

I like that there's xmas continuity even though it's out of show continuity. I don't really have a problem with Santa wanting to end xmas. I kind of want it to end too. I'm fanwaking that Frannie knew so much about Gilgamesh because of the episode where you could take the pill to give you 8 hours rest. 3 Link to comment

No, she devoted all her time to discovering the location of the colossal squid. I love that they seem to have such fun in skewering Christmas, and I love evil Santa. Link to comment
Matt K January 9, 2017 Share January 9, 2017 One thing I love about this episode is the shout out to Woodlawn (where Jack lives). It's funny because I live near there when I was growing up. Although to be fair Social Security is headquartered there so it's possible that's how they pulled the name out. Link to comment

Galileo908 April 11, 2017 Share April 11, 2017 And here I was wondering how Francine had friends we've never seen before...and they only show up when Francine's trashed. Loved that. Of course Roger's comedian stewardess rival is played by Natasha Leggero and he's not having it. I'm also a sucker for little meta bits like how he didn't want the kids to look at Francine & Stan's plotline. Man, Stan turned into a nerd so quickly the second his slot car obsession was discovered. It was just sad. 1 Link to comment
ganesh April 13, 2017 Share April 13, 2017 (edited) Fannie's cuts from talking to Stan on the phone to coming out all garbled and smashed killed me. Then suggesting she sleep with Stan. Mel's tattoo was great. I mean, I don't mind Stan's got a slot car hobby. It kind of came out of nowhere. It was worth it for the tattoo joke. Sorry though, Helen Mirren was always hot.

Spartan Girl April 18, 2017 Share April 18, 2017 You know you're low on the high school food chain when the Little Rascals are giving you crap. this was fun. Steve and his friends turning into goth witches and Lewis as a witch hunter. Good thing they hit the reset button at the end because it would suck if he were killed off for good. Biggest laugh of the night was the shot of the guys hover-peeing. Biggest gross-out was Steve having the jock slave chew his food for him. 1 Link to comment
Galileo908 April 18, 2017 Share April 18, 2017 Twanderlust Lumpkin is one of the best Roger names I've heard in ages. So...we officially have magic in this show, but I loved it. The guys can understand Toshi now! And of course Principal Lewis was a witch hunter. I also loved how Stan & Klaus's nostalgia for 90s bands eventually became a podcast and a music fest. I, too, love remembering Collective Soul. 1 minute ago, Spartan Girl said: this was fun. Steve and his friends turning into goth witches and Lewis as a witch hunter.

My horrible friend knows how to play Two Princes on the guitar and did it on FB video so I couldn't kill him in person. The best part was all of them understanding Toshi. I did like their goth outfits though and how all the magic involved butterflies. This was weird even for this show. 1 Link to comment
ganesh April 19, 2017 Share April 19, 2017 That and the One Week song, whatever that one was. I was listening to Biggie and Wu Tang so I only know the songs from the fraternity parties. Link to comment
Galileo908 April 25, 2017 Share April 25, 2017 This was a weird one. Roger suddenly has a family he's ungodly abusive towards (and shoots himself to escape them), and Klaus became Stan's car. A Zagnut-themed chop shop gang? Okaaaaay... Barry's fantasy was great, and I figured that it was all a hallucination after being hit by Roger's car. Link to comment

ganesh April 26, 2017 Share April 26, 2017 CILANTRO. That song makes me piss myself I love it. I still sing it to my dog randomly. I was actually hoping the show would flip it up and put Klaus in a snake or iguana. Still something you keep in a tank but it opens up some plot if he can move around a little more. I did like the pile of cougars Stan apparently fought off. 1 Link to comment
Spartan Girl May 2, 2017 Share May 2, 2017 (edited) Love Francine pretending to be a spy. "The Beaver" indeed. But yeah, real spy stuff ain't like James Bond. Klaus is such a perv. This is like the second time this show has killed off Jay Leno. Edited May 2, 2017 by Spartan Girl 1 Link to comment
Galileo908 May 2, 2017 Share May 2, 2017 (edited) The CIA records all their spies' seductions and shows them at an award show. I loved that for whatever reason. Also great: Apparently the award show (at least Most Elusive Villain) is just a sting operation for The Falcon...who never falls for it. "We're so bad." "At eating." Bullock was great again tonight. I liked that Hayley & Steve were really on board for Roger's Car Guy/Revenge on Jay Leno phase. They were looking forward to THE MAIL. It's been 14 years, they're finally bored. Yeah, the Classic Car Night at Bob's Big Boy in Burbank is a real thing, and Jay Leno is a regular at it. And of course Roger was Gallagher back in the day. This episode was stupidly funny, just how this show should be. EDIT: Klaus designing a Geocities-like site for The Beaver was great. Edited May 2, 2017 by Galileo908 2 Link to comment
Galileo908 May 30, 2017 Share May 30, 2017 That Turt Locker fake-out was great. Man, Arena Football is more brutal than I thought it would be. Of course Roger would be the kind of jerk to force Hayley to be a taxi driver, having her only pick up his multiple personas, and not charge himself. Jemaine Clement was in this? Where was he? 1 Link to comment
Spartan Girl May 30, 2017 Share May 30, 2017 Only this show could make Steve being driven out of town by everyone, including his own parents funny. LMAO Bullock and Franny making out. 1 Link to comment

Galileo908 June 6, 2017 Share June 6, 2017 (edited) "I always forget how poor you are." I also have to love that subtle nod at how time doesn't seem to pass on this show as Jeff doesn't know how many year's they've been married. Steve's been what, 14 for the entire series, it almost seems like he's regressing. He got hosed by 10 year olds (and then 8 and 6 year olds!), that's a new low. Loved seeing Stan & Francine enjoying Burning Man, and Klaus tripping on acid was the best. EDIT: American Dad remembers Mr. Furley. Er, Gotye. Edited June 6, 2017 by Galileo908 1 Link to comment
Spartan Girl June 6, 2017 Share June 6, 2017 Meux=Moe's. Real subtle, show. And wow, Rosie O'Donnell as the bar lady! I don't blame Hayley for not trusting Roger.

Spartan Girl June 13, 2017 Share June 13, 2017 I honestly don't know who was more out of it in this episode: Steve or Roger. Was very amused by the concept of Roger posing as the battered wife Julia Roberts played in Sleeping with the Enemy only to wind up the sacrifice of a crow cult. 1 Link to comment
Galileo908 June 13, 2017 Share June 13, 2017 (edited) I figured a whole episode with Roger running off as Julia Roberts to (the City of) Townsville was gonna be super weird. All for recreating Francine's wine. Have Jeff & Barry not met? I do love how Steve quickly became the man of the house (and off the deep end) when he was arranging the meeting.

ganesh June 16, 2017 Share June 16, 2017 That was bizarre, but when Roger commits to a character, he commits. That was a good B plot. "I have to give Jeff his bath." I have no idea why Klaus and Steve fighting was a long time coming either. Link to comment

Galileo908 July 25, 2017 Share July 25, 2017 Why such a long break between episodes? Why finish the season in the summer? Man, I have this sudden urge to go to a Fuddrucker's. Shame there's none near me. This was a plot I'd definitely see in the early years: Stan lourds his physical over everyone else, then acts as unhealthy as possible when he gets a (sort of) good bill of health, then gets addicted to reliving his memories when Roger keep almost killing him because he fears getting old. Ha, asking a question in class is the minimum requirement to graduate (Valedictorian!) from ASU. 1 Link to comment

Spartan Girl August 1, 2017 Share August 1, 2017 Love watching Stan and Hayley on the same side for once. And quite frankly Steve and Francine were acting like ninnies. If you go on a reality race, you don't go lolligagging around! Was not expecting the evil general to come back. I could watch a whole episode of Klaus channel surfing with commentary. And he wound up in the giant balloon! 3 Link to comment
