As soon as I saw the CIA building, I wondered…hmm, crossover?
then to hear Patrick Stewart’s voice as Dir. Bullock, I knew the inevitable was about to happen 
“Get out, Joe”
“It’s Stan”
“Sorry, you look kinda famili…”
Classic, a Family Guy/American Dad crossover was inevitable, it was done well, even if it was quite predictable
Whoa, didn’t see the American Dad crossover coming until they pulled into the CIA parking lot. I liked Stewie nodding off and then firing the gun wildly. I also liked the “dream sequence is giving them the finger” bit. Too bad the series is on hold.
I haven’t been watching much TV lately but I did catch tonight’s Fox line-up. Was the common theme of killing off a character publicized?

Well, it was publicized that Lois is ready to kill Stewie after he tried to kill her last week, and that Cotton Hill may or may not die.
Speaking of…am I the only who is sad about Cotton?
Probably.

Nope.
He was a great character. His death was fitting though.
I thought this episode was hilarious and especially the give and take between Stewie and Brian at the end. I nearly cried when they did the Sopranos thing.
Great stuff, I’m awaiting it’s return.
I hate the reset button.
But The Simpsons was also based around the apparent deaths of two characters and American Dad climaxed with the apparent death of a character. I’m surprised Fox didn’t advertise their “Killer Sunday Line-up”.
Maybe they’re killing all of the shows for the duration of the writers’ strike…

DAMN!
I wasn’t exactly expecting King of the Hill spoilers in a Family Guy thread. :mad:

Yeah, I’m ashamed to say I didn’t get this. Can someone explain?
Not a lot of comedy shows, historically, have a scene where an infant is killed with a bullet to the forehead.

Joe from Family Guy and Stan from American Dad both kind of resemble one another, at least as far as their chins go.
Are animated shows on hold like the others? I thought these were all completed before the season started?

Same here, I thought the production time on toons had them done far further into the future than live action shows.

Animated shows can be tweaked right up until the last minute from what I understand. If Family Guy needed some dialog changed and Seth’s out on strike, nothing doing. NPR reported that Family Guy was on hold after this week. It could be a ploy by the network to try and force the crew to come back.
I never expected to see a baby graphically killed by a gunshot to the head on prime-time TV. Pretty cool.
My DVR stopped just before the end and I think I might have missed a couple of lines when Stewie & Brian are talking at the end 
(gah, I hate it when it does that)
Loved Peter’s reaction when him and Lois trade bodies after being zapped.

Same here, it ran a bit long for some reason.
An OK episode, I hate the rewind thing though. I just need to stop looking for logic in TV shows, cartoons especially.
Family Guy isn’t dead yet- much to Seth McFarlane’s anger. There are three episodes that are almost complete, that just needed to go through post-production. Although Seth McFarlane said it would be “a colossal dick move” on Fox’s part to complete the episodes without his input just because they needed TV shows during the strike, that’s exactly what they did.
