New episode Sunday night on Fox.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

The opening was great... funny how Fox has f'd over a lot of great shows.

Sunday's show was impressive. I was worried it'd come back half-a$$ed, but they're still right on top. American Dad was less funny--I'm just not that thrilled with it. Though the alien is fabulous.

Well, I bought Seasons 1-3 today. Almost done with season one. I remembered some from when I first watched them, circa 1999. I'm not sure what my favorite episode was--all of them stellar, but I really enjoyed "Brian In Love". Can't wait to get to season 2 and 3, since I haven't seen either season, and I hear that's where they really hit their stride.
*Brain runs over somebody while driving down a country road
Brian: "Oh my God, are you Stephen King?"
Ran-over person: "No, I'm Dean Koontz."
Brian: "Oh."
*Brian goes back to his car and backs it over Dean Koontz*

But if you're all about the destination, then take a fucking flight.
We're going nowhere slowly, but we're seeing all the sights.
And we're definitely going to hell, but we'll have all the best stories to tell.
Full of the heavens and time.

I'm still annoyed with myself that I forgot Family Guy was on last Sunday. Fortunately, we caught it and American Dad last night. God....I was afraid I was going to blow a hernia laughing so hard at both Family Guy and American Dad.
American Dad is really starting to come into it's own and not be so much of a Family Guy clone, especially with the CIA agent stuff to base a lot of jokes on. The whole memory erasing thing had me dying.

yeah, all these pre-empts have me worried. obviously, Family Guy is not as important to them as car-racing.
It was a good episode though.

American Dad probably isn't getting good ratings. I know I don't watch it, and I love Family Guy.
