What's up with that new thing that EVERY Family Guy and American Dad episode nowdays ALWAYS starts out with this ridiculously low rating on IMDb, like 2 stars or something, even before it officially gets aired? And then when I finally get to watch it, it is not nearly that bad at all or even pretty good..? EVERY time! And then slowly as time passes the rating goes up a bit....
What's up with that, I find that really weird and ridiculous.
THE GOOD: I really liked the episode. Was it the best American Dad ever..? No, of course not. But the Steve science project story with the hangover-free beer was definitely a fun enough way to pass some time. And weirdly: I even kinda liked that 'Stan fixing the shingle'-bit, that turned out to be absolutely nothing!! I don't know, it was ridiculous of course, but I thought it was kinda funny...
THE BAD: Those SONGS!!! We all fondly remember that first decade, when Family Guy and American Dad had GREAT songs! Just great. They had love and heart and you just wanted to hear them again! But those times of great songs have been over for quite a while now, haven't they...
Hey dear American Dad writers: us, your audience, are not stupid. We can tell when you're uninspired and therefore treat us to 5 minutes of 'song' to fill up time. Please, next time your story is only 13 minutes long, and you lack a good song, GO BACK TO THE TABLE AND WRITE 6 MORE MINUTES OF STORY!! And maybe even one more joke, would be nice. It is what you are getting payed WELL for.... And don't fill our time with 5 minutes of lazy nonsense song thinking we're too dumb to notice.
As I said: I liked the episode. I would have given it a 7 actually. But I had to take two whole stars off, just for boring me with those stupid songs.
And o yeah, to those leprechauns and goblins starting off every Family Guy and American Dad episode with silly two-star ratngs: where are you..? Who are you? SHOW YOURSELVES!!
