The Simpsons
The first Marge centered episode in a long time, and Homer didn't get a new job of hostage negotiator. The one joke about Hostage Negotiator was laziness on par with Family Guy. But otherwise the episode was very solid. I've realized over the last three weeks of complaining that the jokes are overall good, definitely watchable, but not on par with the days of yore. So no more complaining.
I generally dislike Marge stories. They mostly involve her trying to rehabilitate something. She nags and nags and in the end gets nothing accomplished. This was a little bit different with less nagging and more worrying. Was that Steve Buscemi's voice?
King Of The Hill
OK, so still no Peggy Hill episode. This week we were treated to both a Boomhauer main story as well as two subplots involving classic Bill behavior as well as Hank getting Bobby out of trouble. Although this time Boomhauer came in to save them all.
Is it bad that I get sad whenever Bill is happy? I think it's the appropriate response, since Bill thrives on really bad negative attention. The Heatwaver is a pretty good name for a super hero.
American Dad
Another week of a solid American Dad. Stan discovers he has no friends until he find a guy who is both a right wing Republican and a paddle boat enthusiast. Things are great until he discovers that his friend is an atheist. Trying to get him to believe, Stan accidentally makes him commit suicide. But he has a near death experience where he meets Satan and vows to go back to Earth and round up people for Satan's army. This is a pretty creative story and shows what I've saying all along, that story driven episodes on any show are much better than wacky jokes.
The subplot was Steve making crack while he thought he was at Hogwarts. You'd think that a 12-year-old would know that Harry Potter is actually made up but that's TV for you. "Lavate las manos!" Kudos to American Dad, winner of this week's prize for.....nothing special.
