I almost forgot myself, but luckily I saw an ad while fliping through a magazine at the store. Get your Tivos ready, we have had to wait a number of years for this. ---

Life has meaning again. I’m looking forward to a new episode of Family Guy quite a bit more than the new eps of The Simpsons. ---

Probably one of the weaker episodes but for Family Guy that still blows the rest of the crap on TV out of the water. Hopefully they are just knocking the rust off and we get episodes comparible to classics such as Road to Rhode Island, Running Mates or E Peterbus Unum. ---

What about Futurama? Did I just not hear it? Anyway, better than I expected - actually, really good. It was in fact too forced in some places and they had jokes you could just tell that they wanted to use forever, but it was still a really good episode. Should get gradually better, I say. ---
