"The Simpsons - I really enjoyed the episode. Felt the pacing was done pretty well (probably because, as you said, it's a new character and things we haven't seen before) and felt Marge's lines and even Julie's acting were a lot better than recently."
Agreed.
"American Dad - I was thinking the same thing about Stan. He was oblivious in this episode, but not in a jerk/dismissive/I'm-always-right kind of way."
I'm actually stating to like Stan. What kind of crazy topsy turvy frickin bizarro world did I wake up in?
"Family Guy - I thought it was a funny episode, I liked that pirate tree dude and all the finger stuff. I am reminded of South Park and do cringe occationally when the jokes are supposed to make you laugh just because they are references to other things, like Robin and Sulu."
See, it MIGHT have been a funny episode. I can't tell anymore. I am really pissed off at South Park now. They choose THIS issue to be right. Where was their sense during the godawful Hurricane Katrina parody? At least the episode wasn't COMPLETELY right, as they chose to portray Bush in a semi-positive light. Still, I can't enjoy the show anymore, or at least the new episodes. I can still stomach the reruns though so that's something.
"Fantastic Four - You don't even need to compare it to Buffy, Reed and Doom switching bodies has been a staple, and this is maybe the 4th time I've seen it. And it didn't capture any of what makes it special. Doom messing with Reed's journal to make his family thing he purposely exposed them to cosmic rays? Good. Doom obviously acting out of character and just sort of wandering around and insulting the rest of the FF? Meh. It was better than last week's, but why are they showing us these episodes out of order? Establish Dr. Doom before you switch him around!"
To be honest, I was afraid the Fantastic Four comics were this stupid. Glad to know that isn't really the case.
