THANK YOU! I was like "this is so familiar... but what is it parodying?" Phew - I thought I'd killed too many braincells at Virginfest last weekend!

Thanks! I was trying to figure out what movie they were spoofing. I thought it was Close Encounters... but seems to be a little side movie

It sounds funny. It reminds me of the time I was on The Facts of Life dressed as a boxing kangaroo.

Mrs. Garrett: "GIRRLLS!"

Mrs. Garrett: "GIRRLLS, I'VE BEEN PUNCHED!"

ugh. IMO - not a very good episode to return with. Seemed like there were a lot more "like that time when" moments than past episodes.

I did get a kick out of the "like that time when" comment and then nothing happened, and the death of the vaudeville duo. The Marilyn Manson part seemed very outdated (where has he disappeared to?).

NOOOOOOOOOOO I liked the Vaudeville duo!

The episode was pretty good, I did not like the two dead guys guarding the ammo dump; given the current situation that was a bit much.

Anybody catch Seth on War at Home, he was dating the daughter and talking like Brian.

I really have to wonder if Fox required them to cut that dead soldiers shot way back. They usually hold on a "joke" (term used very lightly in this case) like that a lot longer.

Still, they were getting old. I guess Seth was even tired of them.

I don't usually watch War at Home, but I did just to see him. Very odd watching him speak in Brian's voice.

Pretty funny episode, I laugh more watching this show than just about any others. Best joke was when Stewie did a "like that time..." gag, and paused for a second before realizing there was no clip to show.

Any show that is going to have Peter's boss (the handicapped guy that has messed up hair amd mumbles) is going to be good.

Peter undoing his shirt while sitting on the desk was quick but funny. As was the shot of him holding up his bloodied hand. I'd give it 7/10...but 10/10 better than the Simpsons.

The radar loop of Des Moines, Iowa on the Weather Channel is better than the Simpsons these days.

I thought Stewie was hilarious this episode. Even the long scene with him singing at the old folks home was funny.

Loved Quagmire's rant on Wings

I thought Quagmire's rant on Wings was especially funny, considering there was a thread on here talking about NBC's best "Must See TV Lineup" and Wings got a surprising amount of love from here.
