Respect, unlike love, can't be bought

[vovat]

Tonight's Simpsons episode was pretty good. It wasn't amazingly funny, but both stories was well-plotted and had their moments, including a fair number of amusing Skinner lines. The bits with the magnets and Homer laughing about the loaner car policy dragged on a little too long, but eh, no big deal. I did find it odd that Bart identified Nelson as his "other best friend," though. It's not really in line with how their relationship has been portrayed in other episodes.

As for Family Guy, it was interesting to see the Peter/Brian/Lois love triangle come to something (well, not counting the brief time Brian and Lois were married in an earlier episode), but it wasn't that great overall. I did like Peter's appearing in different outfits when he was supposed to be doing things with Lois, and Mr. Herbert watching the kids provided some funny moments.

Okay, I'm fairly sure this will be the last post of mine for a little while. I really need to get a little bit of sleep before leaving. Bye-bye, everybody!

Thanks! I did, although it was quite tiring.

Brian is a proxy for Seth MacFarlane, so Lois is every wife or gf of a friend he was desperately attracted to.

Or that is my theory on the days I am not dead sure Seth is a closeted homosexual.

Thanks! I'm back from it now, but I did enjoy it.

I do think that Brian is sort of a stand-in for Seth in some ways, so that theory does make sense. Brian's voice is basically just his normal speaking voice, after all.

Or that is my theory on the days I am not dead sure Seth is a closeted homosexual.

You mean because he obviously enjoys musical theater? :P

Goodbye Dr. Nick!

I admit, I don't remember how I found it in a google image search, but I did. I saw a drawing that somebody did of Lois and Brian having sex. I tried clicking on the larger image of the drawing, but the link was dead. I'm embarassed to admit that.

I've never really understood why some people are so eager to draw cartoon characters having sex. At least Lois and Brian are both presented as adults within the context of the show, so it's not like when people try to put, say, Bart and Lisa into sexual situations.

this part cracked me up

Do you do it with relish?
No, I'm actually ashamed of it...

I thought that was a clever joke. Very vaudevillian in its presentation, I would say.

Yay for honeymoonage! Just don't threaten to hit your wife like other Honeymooners!

I did like last night's episodes. Though I thought it was weird that Lois admitted that she occasionally thought about Brian. In That Way. Since, you know, in the ep where they were married.. he was all goin' to the basement a lot.

He's only using space travel as a metaphor for beating his wife.

Yeah, it kind of seems like they ignored that episode. Maybe Lois was just trying to make Brian feel better, though. I don't know. She did say towards the end of that other episode that she would have finally had sex with Brian if she hadn't gotten back together with Peter, right?
