Simpsons: Aside from the opening which has its own thread…Lisa becomes the manager of Barts baseball team and uses prometrics to manage rather than baseball…something.  
Family Guy: Peter discovers his Father-in-Law having an affair, M-I-L divorces said F-I-L and now Peter has to get them back together  
Cleveland Show: Cleveland loses a baseball bet (two baseball shows in one block…) and gets depressed and ends up going to Hawai’i  
American Dad: Part two of the saga in which Stans daughter marries her long-time boyfriend.

Discuss!

I put _The Simpsons_ in the queue on the strength of the Banksy opening. Great opening!

The episode itself didn’t hold our attention for more than ten minutes, though - and the remaining 12 minutes seemed like an agonizing eternity rolling out before us, keeping us from watching _Dexter_. Did I miss anything?

OK “Cleveland” is just painful to watch. 😃

The others were OK, they had a few jokes sprinkled here and there.

Simpsons’s couch gag was awesome. Loved the “Great War with Alaska” bit on Family Guy. American Dad was good. I wonder if Haley & Jeff will end up living in Jeff’s front house of the Smith van now that they blew the whole $50K fleeing from Roger.
