Stan joining in on the singing to get steve to cry was the funniest thing I've seen all night.

 

[Brinbe]

And AD does not disappoint, awesome episode.

Only real stinker tonight was probably FG. Hell, even the Simpsons wasn't too bad.

 

[firebricks3]

American Dad > Bob's Burgers > The Simpsons > Family Guy for me tonight

"Breaking Bad is the best show on television, except maybe the wire."

[ZoddGutts]

While American Dad was good, thought Bob's Burger was in a different league. So many great moments in the ep. The Terminator scene caught me off guard.

Who's watchin' ?

Who's watchin' ?

I've got it on for background noise. I won't pay attention until American Dad.

 

[lordfroakie]

Heh First half off to a good start<3

 

[firebricks3]

Who's watchin' ?

I am. Simpsons wasn't too bad and Bob's burgers is good thus far.

 

[Why would you do that?]

I don't watch Bob's Burgers too much (it's rarely on) but I just realized that girl's voice sounds like Daria's sister Quinn from Daria. Same voice actress?

 

[Marvie_3]

No they're different people.

 

[Xevren]

This American Dad is fantastic.

 

[Why would you do that?]

No they're different people.

Wow, and they sound so much alike.

This American Dad is fantastic.

Yes, American Dad is pretty good now. There was one season where I thought it started to suck (the 2nd HD one), but after that, it picked up again.

Also in this spoof, Roger plays Edna, a maid who nurses Bullock and Hayley's love child. But when Edna falls in love with Bullock, it could mean dire consequences for the kid.

 

[jred2k]

Wow Bob's Burgers sounds excellent again. These last few episodes really feel like this is becoming the Tina show. Erotic Friend Fiction for all!

 

[AAequal]

Are they bringing Herb back? Can't handle this.

On other note, American Dad sounds awesome! Bob's Burger sounds bad (probably isn't).

 

[TheVampire]

Are they bringing Herb back? Can't handle this.

OMG I've wanted Homers brother to make another appearance on the show for so long!

 

[Jackpot]

OMG I've wanted Homers brother to make another appearance on the show for so long!

Why ruin the memory of him?

 

[BatDan]

Why Herb? He had a conclusive character arc.
He was a rich car manufacturer, Homer's stupidity made him poor. When living on the streets, he gets an idea and asks Homer for money. The idea makes him rich again (maybe more so than before) and that's the last we need to see of him.

This is going to be like Lurleen Lumpkin where she shows up after 16 years suddenly having daddy issues and the Dixie Chicks cameo for no reason. Pah!

 

[DrFunk]

Simpsons is...Simpsons

 

[firebricks3]

Gene being bob needs to be a thing again in a future episode.

 

[vehn]

Which instrumental song was that on fam guy? Think it was rush

 

[Xevren]

Which instrumental song was that on fam guy? Think it was rush

25 or 6 to 4 by Chicago.

 

[B.K.]

This is going to be a good episode.

 

[Tamanon]

This is amazing so far.

 

[DrFunk]

This is blowing my mind

 

[DominoKid]

Cleveland Show was hilarious tonight.

 

[Zeus Molecules]

AD is freaking me out but still pretty creative & funny...

 

[NumberTwo]

Patrick Stewart still amazing after all these years.

 

[DrFunk]

This is amazing

 

[No_Style]

What an amazing episode of AD.

Continues to cement it as the funniest show of Animation Domination for me.

 

[Tamanon]

"The hand of fate is about to extend three fingers and give Stan the shocker"

 

[Odoul]

Okay this American Dad episode just came together in the best way possible!

 

[No_Style]

Oh the twists!

 

[Tamanon]

Best episode in years. That was outstanding.

 

[Sadsic]

i wonder if any of that was canon? did stan fuck up his dads life in that way

 

[firebricks3]

American Dad has seriously stepped up its game from last season, holy crap.

 

[B.K.]

I hope Fox doesn't cancel American Dad after this season.

 

[Zeus Molecules]

ok watching Cleveland show on Tivo this might be the funniest episode they've done yet.

 

[Tamanon]

i wonder if any of that was canon? did stan fuck up his dads life in that way

I can't imagine it would be, seems like they just wanted to tell a tragedy and this was the best way. It was funny that my fiance gasped right when the audience did when

Spoiler

Roger appeared with the pillow after killing the baby

 

[wenis]

jesus that bobs burger tonight was amazing. the bathroom scene alone I was dying and my throat is hoarse now.

 

[Psychotext]

Cleveland Show was hilarious tonight.

ok watching Cleveland show on Tivo this might be the funniest episode they've done yet.

...strange, I was just thinking it had completely jumped the shark. Opinions are an odd thing.

 

[Damon Bennet]

AD didnt work for me. it was interesting and creative, but it was rather strange.

cleveland was ok. wtf at the german though

family guy was a solid episode with a few good laughs. laughed the scene with the boat.

bobs was fantastic. gene really did nail the way bob acts! and tinas arc was really funny.

 

[lunchtoast]

Bob and AD were great. Loved all the stage effects and Stewart. "ACTING"

 

[jamesinclair]

Just watched the Bobs Burgers christmas episode....

Its solid gold folks. Looks like it never aired in most of the country, so be sure to watch it on Hulu

 

[UberTag]

Cleveland Show continues to fail in the ratings battle.

JANUARY 27th RATINGS

The Cleveland Show - 2.55 million viewers
The Simpsons - 5.30 million viewers
Bob's Burgers - 4.14 million viewers
Family Guy - 5.56 million viewers
American Dad! - 4.20 million viewers

 

[B.K.]

It's sad that there's such a big drop off from Family Guy to American Dad.

 

[Odoul]

I don't know if I like this.

American Dad could very well start sucking in a major way sooner rather than later.
