Thought this was the BEST ep this season since the season premiere.

LOL at the National Geographic special and Stewie's semi-rant on Geena Davis.

It seems I'm in the minority. I thought tonight's episode was really weak. Very few solid laughs.

So-So episode. Peter getting locked inside his car got a laugh out of me and so did:
"BIBLE FIGHT!"

IMO, the past 4 episodes have been pretty "so-so." Not unfunny, just not as funny as it usually is.

Ironically, I've found the last 4 episodes of American Dad funny as hell.

The brain tumor singing "I'm a tumor" to Falco's "Amadeus," Peter using her bandages for spare T.P., and Cleveland's "Five of you hookers need to get out of here now!" were all good laughs.

For me this was the worst episode of FG from what I can remember. I thought some of the early gags especially were really weak.

Quagmire's head slowly rising from behind the couch, and the singing tumor. Classic!

"I'm a tumor"

Am I the only one old enough to remember the singing cheese-ball?

Peter with the water wings and helmet on in the restaurant and him kicking the stall doors open were pretty funny.

Didn't he have commercials during Saturday morning for healthy snacks and stuff? I remember the mini OJ pops on a toothpick.

Personally, I thought this was an OK episode. A few chuckles here and there.

As indicated by others, I also thought this episode was average at best. Some good moments here and there but nothing special.

American Dad and Family GUy are still indistinguishable to me.

This is my favorite episode of the new run so far. The firetruck documentary and its later reprise had me nearly in tears.

I enjoyed the ep, but the little asides this year seem to be getting longer and longer. I know the show isn't story-driven, but the little "quick" jokes like the whole "Jake and the Fatman" thing seem to be getting longer and longer.

Agreed. That Fatman one felt like an SNL skit: not funny, really long, and it just trails off at the end.

I know. I had to pause the show to recover from that gag. It had me in tears.

From zap2it.com:

ABC took over first for the 9 p.m. hour with the 6.9/12 for the Pistons-Spurs game. The beginning of CBS' broadcast of "Twelve Mile Road" was second with a 6.2/11. NBC's "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" was third with a 5.7/10. FOX was fourth with "Family Guy" (4.3/7) and "American Dad" (4.0/7). The WB stayed last with "Steve Harvey's Big Time."
