I was pleasantly surprised. I actually got excited a little at one point. yay, superheroes!<br /><br />Yes, Bret and Jemaine were the highlight of the Simpsons. Why were they pushing the Glee characters?? They were in it for like 2.5 minutes. <br /><br />Jemaine: She can't hear us. We're stage whispering.<br />Lisa: I can hear you.<br />Jemaine: No you can't!<br /><br />LOL!! Love it.<br /><br />Family Guy was hilarious! I almost choked on nothing after this bit:<br /><br />Peter: Oh, well then, maybe we just go, and you go to the kennel. <br />Brian: Oh, not the kennel. Last time you left me there for an hour. Or ten years! I don't know, there's no clock there!<br /><br />LMAO! Anytime Brian does something dog-like I love it. Like when they're hiding out in the back of that truck and he's all stumbling around. Or when he eats Stewie's diaper out of the garbage because he thought there was Indian food in it!

I got it, eventually, but like a lot of Venture eps, it wasn't clear what was happening until nearly the end. <br /><br /><i>I thought the Glee kids on The Simpsons were terrible.</i><br /><br />Yeah, they really were. For all the hype their appearance got, it was almost nothing, and FOTC stole the show. I've seen them in concert twice and they were excellent both times. <br /><br /><i>I loved the exchange you quoted with the "It's the man or woman who is killing everybody!"</i><br /><br />It's such a great parody of that genre's tropes in just one line. I love it. <br /><br /><i>I watched SNL for Cranston and was really disappointed they did not give him anything to do! </i><br /><br />He totally disappeared, and it was really disappointing. Especially since we know he has comedy chops and probably would have done quite well. <br /><br /><i>And Kristin Wiig is Anti-Funny. She needs to get the boot.</i><br /><br />I like some of her stuff (like the Target Lady, who reminds me of a woman with whom I work) but she gets asked to do WAY too much, especially now that they have some other females, and is quickly wearing thin for me.Austin Gortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281239771248780430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266470995513648978.post-8358469308666105772010-10-05T10:12:37.242-05:002010-10-05T10:12:37.242-05:00yeah i just mostly wish Will was no longer on the ...yeah i just mostly wish Will was no longer on the show of Glee.

A second watching cleared it up though. Also, this week's episode was an absolute classic but we can talk about that next week. <br /><br />I thought the Glee kids on The Simpsons were terrible. The song wasn't funny and it felt like the show was just trying to emulate Glee, not satirize or comment on it at all. The Conchords were wonderful, of course. My fiancee and I caught them live at The Greek last year and it was one of the best concerts I've been to.<br /><br />I went into Family Guy not knowing much about the episode and when I saw the premise I was hoping they would include James Woods somehow, so I was delighted when he showed up.

Family Guy is usually pretty good about that kind of stuff, but you never know (it is Family Guy, after all). <br /><br /><i>i wanted to watch this show but sarah pretty much forbid it.</i><br /><br />Yeah, she's got some weird hangup about it. You should totally watch it behind her back. <br /><br />And don't get me wrong; I'm not saying it's the awesomest show ever, or anything. It's still got time to screw it all up (Heroes certainly did). It's just starting from a position of strength, is all. <br /><br /><i>i really like Brittney, so i was glad to see an ep about her</i><br /><br />I like her too, but was worried that like was predicated on getting small doses of her, so I appreciated that they didn't overdo her too much in this episode. <br /><br /><i>i really hate Will. He's my least favorite character on the show. He needs to 1) grow up and 2) not be a douche bag</i><br /><br />Agreed on both points. The thing with Will is, I want to like him. We share the same old man tastes in music and enjoy wearing vests. And I think he's fine when dealing with the kids (as long as he's not performing with them) but whenever he has to deal with adults in the real world, he just ends up flailing around in an unfunny way. <br /><br />I mean, Terri was a bitch, but he let that whole fake pregnancy storyline go on WAY too long.Austin Gortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281239771248780430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266470995513648978.post-23062909621952139322010-10-05T08:38:48.094-05:002010-10-05T08:38:48.094-05:00Family Guy- we can't believe how many characte...Family Guy- we can't believe how many characters they got rid of. Who's going to do the news now?<br />Also, fave line- when Peter was using the Jew Tracker Ap "Oh, they got him"<br /><br />No Ordinary Family- i wanted to watch this show but sarah pretty much forbid it. Now i'm bummed that it sounds good<br /><br />Glee- i really like Brittney, so i was glad to see an ep about her (and suprised by how much she looks like Brittany). Also she's a great dancer. I found the sex riot hilarious. Also, we were happy to see Marc (from So You Think You can Dance) in the Brittney/Santana song (he was on the couch on the right, AND was the one of the punk dancers- the one with the white fro-hair).<br />Watching Rachel's Hit me Baby was disappointing- it was the song i was most looking forward to, but the octave change didn't do it for me and made me just want to watch the original version.<br />Finally- i really hate Will. He's my least favorite character on the show. He needs to 1) grow up and 2) not be a douche bagAnne Ahiershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04695186823472404436noreply@blogger.com
