New thread for updated Family Guy.

Spies Reminiscent of Us

Spoiler:

Sorry LorenzoL

I wonder why they changed episodes.

kstublen · 10-11-09, 09:29 PM

I haven't watched any episodes this season because I've been busy, but I tuned in tonight because of Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd. Alright episode. Best part was the end with Cleveland; that gag gets me every time.

ChrisHicks · 10-11-09, 10:04 PM

Are we in some type of time warp zone?

GoldenJCJ · 10-11-09, 10:36 PM

Did I miss a Die Hard bit? I noticed Hart Bochner, Paul Gleason, Reginald VelJohnson, and Bruce Willis listed in the credits.

Dr. DVD · 10-11-09, 10:38 PM

Ep had its moments, but a re-creation of Spies Like Us doesn't go over as well as one of Star Wars.

Really? I didn't catch anything in the ep.

I was kind of meh on this episode. I liked the idea of it more than the execution. They had Dan and Chevy but didn't do anything particularly funny with them.

Deftones · 10-12-09, 12:01 AM

Definitely not as good as the two previous episodes.

MrX · 10-12-09, 12:08 AM

Crap episode until the end with Cleveland.

RichC2 · 10-12-09, 12:30 AM

It was an alright episode, and that's the long and veiny of it.

Giantrobo · 10-12-09, 12:33 AM

@ RichC2

Yeah it was alright. Nothing memorable but still mildy entertaining. I did enjoy the "Ron Howard's Brother" gag and hearing Mila Kunis speak in her native tongue.

mcfly · 10-12-09, 01:15 AM

Fair episode. I was expecting some more laughs, but that bit when they were practicing the improv was pretty good. I also liked the Clint Howard gag.

TallGuyMe · 10-12-09, 09:50 AM

painfully bad episode.

Lateralus · 10-12-09, 10:16 AM

So much potential and then *fizzle* nothing! American Dad was by far the best animated show on Sunday night.

CPA-ESQ. · 10-12-09, 10:51 AM

I too agree that it kind of fizzled. I was all excited that they had both Chevy and Dan - and it didn't seem to go anywhere.

I didn't know Mila was Russian, though she did speak it quite fluently in Max Payne. I thought the bit with Stewie cutting to a random flashback and having nothing ready was amusing.

Yeah, I even went back and watched the credits in slow motion to make sure I wasn't seeing things. Of course Paul Gleason died several years ago so anything of his must have been taken directly from the movie. Maybe FG intended to use it but ended up deleting the sequence.

I was hoping for a lot more given the Chase and Aykroyd appearances.

Although I did laugh out loud at Chevy Chase's line "The 'F' is silent, like in knife"

Geofferson · 10-12-09, 03:14 PM

I expected more w/ Aykroyd and Chase -- the Spies spoof didn't play off as funny as I had hoped.

Nth Power · 10-12-09, 04:52 PM

I didn't care too much for this one. I had a couple chuckles, but that's about it.

bluetoast · 10-12-09, 07:32 PM

I liked how Quagmire was the serious guy this episode.

RoyalTea · 10-12-09, 08:23 PM

Gosh, that Italian family on the next table is sure quiet.

Bill Needle · 10-13-09, 05:26 AM

No Soul Finger, no Spies Like Us parody.

My wife is Italian and I thoroughly appreciated that. I like how it was a phrase that there was no chance of ever being uttered.
