> [@Tengu](#): > > I missed this because those bastards still haven’t canned The War At Home, so I changed the channel, and forgot to change it back. I love “The War at Home” pretty funny show but anyway it’s true Brian and Stewie are best friends and not enemies, like I have been saying all along. This episode proves it 100 per cent. 🙂 ---

Yes, **Hamlet**. To be precise… I love the work of Alan Funt Or a nicely shaven leg ---

> [@RandMcnally](#): > > The John Goodman scene was great. He seems like a nice guy in real life so I felt guilty for laughing, but I couldn’t help it. That was cruel, but hilarious. I felt guilty for laughing as well. Other nice moments: Chris and Quagmire in Meg’s closet. Stewie putting the Mr. Potato Head ear in his bloody hole(and everything before that). Peter: Somehow I can’t help but think this is all Meg’s fault. ---

Frank Sr. has no authority right now, eh? ---

I was actually kinda surprised there wasn’t any little “follow up” scene after Meg’s admission scene. Nothing major, really, it just seemed kind of…abrupt. Huh. ---

> [@GIGObuster](#): > > Sunshine Bear!!! :eek: 🙂 > > And Peter in his attempt to pass himself as a Jew saying “Hello my fellow Hebrews and _She_brews” being followed by a well deserved kick in his nuts that made my day. I laughed and cringed at the “I got a new TV, I us’d them at the store”. This led to the immediate and well deserved kick in the nuts. I love the intro of Frank Jr. “a member of the Board” **Mr. Blue Sky** & **Omniscient** : I enjoy many of the musical shows also. The Simpson’s Quickie Mart episode and the Burlesque House episode are two of my favorites. Jim ---

You mean with her Parents? Or with the other Lesbians? Nobody cares but lois, which is pretty in character. It reminds me of an old episode: Peter: Meg, when did you become a Teenager? Lois: She’s 15, Peter. Peter: You knew about this? ---

I liked Stewie playing 52-pick-up with himself. ---

> [@HPL](#): > > You mean with her Parents? Or with the other Lesbians? With the other lesbians, was my thinking. Not even a parting quip, aside from Quagmire’s bit. Like I said, nothing major, it just felt a little “off.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/family-guy-01-08-06/339084.md?page=1)
