Overall a solid episode and a good rebound from last weeks worst.episode.ever. Glad to see Mr. Garrison back- I never dug the Miss Garrison thing, except for the scissoring. I didn’t think parodying a 20 year old movie would work, but Mr. Cartminez pulled it off. Garrison grabbing the penis in the steam room you could see coming a mile away, but was still hilarious. ---

[QUOTE=Lakai] What were they parodying when the mouse penis was singing on the fence? [/QUOTE] An American Tale, a cartoon story about an immigrant mouse family arriving in New York. The son gets separated from his family and has various adventures before being reunited. At one point, he and his sister, in different parts of the city, look up at the moon and sing the song “Somewhere Out There” about how although they are sad to be apart, it’s comforting to know that they can both see the same moon and imagine they are together. ---

Once you get into running penis jokes, you know they’ve run out of ideas, which is silly cuz it was so obvious the last 4 episodes were writtern/produced during the Writer’s Strike, and this one probably was as well, so I don’t know why they bothered. All Garrison-based episodes suck. Hah, i didn’t get the Jim Davis High joke at all, until I just saw that Stand & Deliver was at Garfield High. I kept waiting for Jim Davis to show up in the episode, and explain that he’s been cheating at Garfield since year 5, reprinting the same cartoons on a yearly basis and passing them off as new. ---

I thought the Cartman half was fun but the Garrison half was just annoying. I didn’t care for this one at all. ---

I thought it was OK. Not the best ever but far from the worst. I’m also glad to see the end of Mrs. Garrison. That shit was seriously played. Last week’s ep is now one of my favorites. If I had a top ten list, I’d probably move it there. ---

Cartman’s half was really funny. I nearly fell down when he was hit the kid with the tactical baton on the basketball court. They played the dog whisperer ep before the new one. That one had me in stitches, too. ---

So, will we see the return of Mr. Hat? I missed the whole storyline in which Mr. Garrison finally admitted that he was gay (or however you could possibly define his very strange sexual identity; it’s like _Hedwig and the Angry Inch_). Is it worth looking up the episodes? ---

It could be the mark of the shark or a springboard into material they’ve been waiting to use. Despite this, I’m apprehensive. There’s good stuff here, but also some stuff that seems a tad lame. I have faith, though. Matt and Trey have never let me down. ---

Sure, they grew Mr. Garrison a new penis, but they didn’t mention anything about growing him a set of balls. ---
