Episode Recap: A Fish out of Water

admin — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 05:05:35 +0000

Season 3, Episode 10: A Fish out of Water

Recap: After nearly two weeks of unemployment, Peter decides to begin a new career as a fisherman, but faces problems when he has to pay off a boat loan. Meanwhile, Lois takes Meg to the beach for spring break, but Lois ends up having more fun than Meg.

My take: FRICKIN SWEET!

The show starts and holy cow Peter is fat and gets confused for the planet Mercury

Great line… “Wilson!… My name is Voit dumbass!”

ARe you going to miss me…. only until I go to a news stand and buy a hustler.

Peter gets a boat named “SS More Powerful than Superman, Spiderman, and the Incredible Hulk put together” while Meg and Lois do spring break together.

80’s reference… Spuds McKenzie, Alfonso Ribero discussion on Silver Spoons.

Peter loses the furniture and then the house unless he comes up with $50k.

“Fat chicks need love to but they gotta pay!”

Peter and the boys go after “Dagger Mouth” in the “SS More Powerful than Superman, Spiderman, the Incredible Hulk” and we find out that Quagmire has a thing for Taylor Hansen. They find Dagger Mouth who offers them a glass of Port and a glass of Starboard. I thought this was funny and I got the nautical joke immediately. Port kicks ass after a nice meal. Better than ice cream but not as good as flan and cup of Cuban coffee.

Peter gets $50K for keeping his mouth shut about Dagger Mouth who turns out to be a robot not a fish.

Episode Recap: Blind Ambition

admin — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 04:32:24 +0000

Season 4, Episode 3: Blind Ambition

Recap: After Quagmire rescues a woman who collapsed from a heart attack, Peter does whatever he can to achieve something he’ll be remembered for. His ambitions, however, ultimately cost him his eyesight. Meanwhile, the Giant Chicken from “Da Boom” returns to challenge Peter to a rematch.

My take: Fricking Great!

Peter and the chicken go at it in one of the best fight scenes in cartoon history that includes a car collision, a train sequence, a cliff dive, a cruise ballroom to boiler room fall, which leads to the cruise ship crashing into a pier, the city, the airport, and the grand finale a grizzly airplane propeller ending.

We learn Cleveland was once a fast talking auctioneer but gets hit on the head and he…. starts… to… talk… slow… ly…

Gary the No Trash Cougar makes an appearance. He’s Great!

The Snap, Crackle and Pop from Rice Crispies battle the Keebler Elves and lose.

Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman make an appearance.

Why is this episode called Blind Ambition? Peter eats coins, goes blind, and sleeps with Chris, gets a seeing eye dog named Brutus, saves Horace the bartender from the Drunken Clam and becomes a hero with a Star Wars ending.

Episode Recap: Fast Times at Buddy Cianci, Jr. High

admin — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 04:47:41 +0000

Season 4, Episode 2: Fast Times at Buddy Cianci, Jr. High

Recap: Brian becomes a substitute English teacher, but is transferred to a class for troubled teens, and charges himself with helping them out with life in general. Meanwhile, Chris is attracted to Brian’s replacement teacher who, once she becomes aware of this, wants him to murder her husband so they can be together.

My take: Despite the storyline dealing with murder, this happens to be a great episode. For example:

I love Dodgeball, heads up
I love Bundt cake, heads up
I love the Trombone, heads up

80’s reference — Green slime from You Can’t Do That On Television. Stewie does the break dancing robot. Peter becomes Larry from Three’s Company after getting hit on the head.

Brian Griffin becomes a teacher. Don’t call me Mr. Griffin, that’s my father. I thought your father’s name was Coco and he was hit by a truck. Chris falls in love with Brian’s replacement - Mrs. Lockhart. Who tries to get Chris to get kill her husband. Instead she gets a bear to kill her husband.

Ben Affleck and Matt Damon have a cameo. Ben farts.

Woah. Woah. Woah. Woah. Woah. Woah. Woah. Lois this isn’t my Batman glass.

Episode Recap: Boys Do Cry

admin — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 04:58:08 +0000

Season 5, Episode 15: Boys Do Cry

Recap: The family starts going to church when Lois gets a job as an organist, but Stewie gets sick off of Communion wine, which convinces the congregation that he’s possessed. The Griffins then move to Texas, where Peter becomes a cowboy, Stewie enters the “Little Miss Texas” pageant and Chris and Meg sneak into President Bush’s ranch.

My take:

A truly great episode!

The Griffins move to Texas! They’re all backward and politically stubborn as a mule. Shouldn’t they have used stubborn as an Elephant.

In the organist tryout, Herbert plays “I Know What Boys Like” by the Waitresses.

Stewie meets Jesus. No Bing Bong this time!

Chuck Norris makes a cameo twice. Dick Cheney and his gun also make a cameo. GW makes a cameo as well. Chris borrows his GW’s under and has a Sixteen Candles moment.

“Belts are a great way to express opinions.”

Been to Dallas, Texas, never seen the news with newscasters wearing cowboy hats. I’ve also been on the east coast, and New Englanders and New Yorkers have always believed the west is still John Wayne’s west.

Peter becomes a cowboy and gets a horse. The Griffin’s house in Texas is enormous compared to their home in Quahog.

Stephanie (Stewie) wins a pageant. It’s Enrico Palazzo!

Episode Recap: Mr. Griffin Goes to Washington

admin — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 04:39:34 +0000

Season 3, Episode 3: Mr. Griffin Goes to Washington

Recap: The toy factory at which Peter works is taken over by a cigarette company who hires Peter as the new president. He is then sent to Washington, D.C. as a lobbyist so they can create toys that encourage kids to smoke, and the entire family can’t help but enjoy the perks that come with the job.

My take:

You need to be in the right mood to watch this episode. It’s good but you need to be in the right mood. There are two themes - killing strippers and smoking.

The episodes starts with Lois finding out (via a dream) that Stewie plans to takeover the world. “Bravo Lois, the last horse finally crosses the finish line!”

Brian drops a funny line “Your excuses are lamer than FDR’s legs.”

Peter calls in sick and takes the family to the Red Sox opening day and runs into Mr. Weed at the game. What Mr. Weed is doing at a baseball game is beyond reason.

Dilbert clip is fairly lame on purpose.

The Eldorado Cigarette Company takes over the Happy Go Lucky Toy Company. They use toys to get children addicted to smoking with a toy called “Baby Smokes A Lot.” A little absurd considering people start smoking because they learn the behavior from their parents.

Peter becomes President. He tries to sharpen his finger and “something else” then heads to Washington. It’s all downhill after that.

Episode Recap: Mr. Saturday Knight

admin — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 04:58:54 +0000

Season 3, Episode 9: Mr. Saturday Knight

Recap: Peter’s boss, Mr. Weed, dies during a dinner with the Griffin family, and the toy factory is demolished as a result. Now unemployed, and failing to find himself other jobs, Peter decides to live his dream of being a Renaissance fair jouster.

My take: Not one of the best. Some memorable scenes include Margot Kidder comes over for dinner and goes ballistic, and again and again.

“It sure beats my job at the Electric Company.”

d - ot, dot

b - et, bet

p - it, pit

f - at, fat

Mr Weed comes over to dinner. We find out that when Mr Weed’s family came over to Ellis Island their original name was Bermuda grass. Mr Weed dies and Peter loses his job at the toy factory. Becomes a jouster and faces the black knight. Did this start Pete’s endless and fruitless foray as an employee.

Episode Recap: Brian Wallows and Peter Swallows

admin — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 04:53:39 +0000

Season 3, Episode 17: Brian Wallows and Peter’s Swallows

Recap: Brian gets a DUI and is forced to care for a bitter, old woman who used to be a jingle singer. After discovering the woman’s brighter past, Brian tries to brighten her life. Meanwhile, Peter grows a beard and houses a family of baby birds.

My take: Grizzly Adams lives with a bear named Ben and hangs out with a guy named… Steve?

Brian and Peter go to a laser rock show. If you’ve never been to one, go. They’re actually quite cool.

Adam west calls his right hand a filthy whore then marries it.

Stewie lambasts the toilet.

Peter grows a frickin sweet beard that lands nets three rare swallows as inhabitants.
