If you could live in the sauce, don't you think I would live in the sauce?

I don't really have that much to say about tonight's cartoons, but I might as well say something, since I've made it a tradition by now. Actually, the Simpsons episode was surprisingly good, considering most of what we've seen recently. They did a flashback/what-if episode that actually fit into established continuity, unlike that train wreck with Marge going to college in the nineties. I have to wonder whether the new opening is the one they're going to be using from now on. Probably not, since it's even longer than the original, but we'll see. I'm hoping it won't be, because even though the added references were kind of amusing once, they won't be if we keep seeing them over and over. Family Guy wasn't that great (come on, if you're going to make us wait so long for a new episode, make it a better one), but I do think the decision for Bonnie to actually have her long-awaited baby was interesting, and I liked the Hannity & Colmes joke. (I assume that, back when the episode was made, Colmes's decision to leave the show hadn't gotten out yet.) And I did enjoy American Dad, especially Steve's reaction to Roger's seeing another family, and the glimpse into Roger's past. Incidentally, I was just recently thinking about how the writers love to put in minor characters with weird, obsessive attitudes. They had that spa detective a few weeks ago, and they did it again with the sweeper outside the theater this time. I think they work quite well, in kind of a surreal way. As for the ending with the koala, it seemed a little out of place for this show, but it was amusing enough that I'm willing to forgive that.
