For poor people, this is a restaurant

The Simpsons episode was pretty half-assed, which is kind of a shame, because I think it had potential. The writers apparently forgot that Homer met Ned for the first time when he moved into his current house in the "Lisa's First Word" flashback, but that wasn't even my main concern. It was more that there were only a few good jokes, and the fact that they stuck in two different flashbacks made it difficult for them to really flesh out either one.

Family Guy wasn't great, but I did enjoy New Brian's over-the-top positive attitude, and was amused by the return of Buzz Killington and the crocodile at the alligator convention. Once again, I think American Dad was the best of the three, even though the characters other than Steve hardly even appeared. It seems like they would at least have brought in Roger to help Steve with his revenge. Oh, well.

And hey, 'tis the season for commercials for crappy Christmas movies again! I sure missed those during January through October! There are also a lot of commercials for products with touch screens, for which I fail to see the appeal. I'd rather not get the screen all smudgy with my fingerprints, thank you.

Most touch screen devices have some kind of anti-fingerprinty coating on them so you don't leave them all smudgy, but I hear what you're saying.

Well, it's not just the fingerprints, but also the somewhat awkward interface. I don't like it when it's too easy to press the wrong thing.
