I was shocked that I actually enjoyed Cleveland tonight. Admittedly, it was an episode mostly riffing on how the show is kinda lame and formulaic, but, hey, go with what you got, I guess.
Simpsons was OK -- not bad, and I like that the Nobel Prize Winning Guy was really voiced by the Nobel Prize Winning Guy. That was actually pretty cool. I do like the idea of the Micro-loans, and I've thought about investing that way myself. (Though not to Nelson.) The Marge plot, though, was... yeah, just kinda there. I was surprised they didn't lampshade the Abe stuff, considering that until the fifty-dollar reveal it was almost the original scene from "Lisa vs. Malibu Stacy" verbatim.
Did Family Guy do a single cutaway gag? I'm trying to think, but I think this one was pretty much all plot. Wiggy! It was pretty decent, I thought -- better than the bulk of the overly mean last season. I was a little surprised Limbaugh agreed to a lot of his lines. Sometimes I think he might be an OK guy.... but then he goes and does something horrible like whatever the racist thing about football players he said a while ago. So, yeah, I'm pretty sure he's a creep, but once in a while he slips up and does something OK.
....and after... what, five, six years? I've finally come around to actually enjoying American Dad. I'm glad it's back. I'd be bummed if they cancelled it for Cleveland because, man, that show is so boring. At least when it's not making fun of itself for being boring. But yeah -- I dug the Legs & The Wheelman stuff, particularly Roger ripped on Turkish Amphetamines and cheese puffs. And the payoff was kinda cool with the Mad^6 World bit going into Chitty Chitty Bang Bang of all things. So, yeah. I actually like American Dad. Wiggy.
