I kept waiting for the Smug Cloud to show up. Still not a horrible episode, and Steve having the foster kids as slave Leias was kind of funny. ---

I hate this show. I can’t understand why McFarlane is ripping off himself. Instead of going with a new idea, he just makes another show about a goofy family, except replaces the talking dog and the ill-mannered baby with a talking fish and an ill-mannered alien. What the hell? Also, political humor doesn’t make me laugh. ---

How much time was supposed to have passed in this episode? A year? And what was up with Haley, random cancer? ---

> [@alphaboi867](#): > > How much time was supposed to have passed in this episode? A year? And what was up with Haley, random cancer? Yeah, at the beginning of the ep was Francine’s 39th birthday, and then at the end, Stan says “Happy 40th birthday.” Not sure what was up with Haley, though I think they could have done a lot more with her illness. ---

Never seen or heard of the show. After seeing this thread I googled it. Looks like the stupidest show I’ve even not seen in my entire life. CIA agent dad, concerned with terrorists, shoots holes in the family toaster. This is supposed to get laughs? Jon Stewart (probably) wouldn’t stoop this low for a laugh. ---

Jon Stewart (probably) wouldn’t stoop this low for a laugh. You’re joking, right? You take one scene from the first episode that lasted all of 10 seconds and declare the entire show “the stupidest show I’ve even not seen in my entire life.” Alrighty…we’ll just move on, then. ---

And that whole sequence of Patrick Stewart in Haley’s bathrobe singing “I like little girls” while doing pelvic thrusts and drinking from the carton is just a total hallucination. ---
