Strange, the Fox site didn't say anything about new episodes.

And strange that they'd be airing a new episode on a night that's otherwise reruns.

King of the Hill is new tonight too.

Funny how the "big" shows are both repeats tonight.

Because the Grammys are airing tonight. Kinda pointless to compete.

"I'm watching every movie ever made....now I'm on Martin Mull. Was there anyone else that could have played Col. Mustard in Clue? Yes. Christopher Llyod. But Mull gets consistent work."


That entire spiel made me laugh so hard for some reason...I think it was just the delivery. And Stan's 3 am song ftw.

"Ahhhh, right in my face."

Awesome.

Great episode, I like the part when Stan was on the phone saying that staying is better than being with his family and Francine was right there XD

I liked and disliked the episode at the same time. On one hand it was funny but on the other it forced the message too much. That ending with Francine breaking the photo made me wish I was watching Family Guy. You know how it would have ended there. :sweat:

With a random gag that had nothing to do with the rest of the show.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Mister Conway Twitty."

That B-plot (specifically, those girls in the background) was one of the most risque things I've seen on network TV, worse than much of what Family Guy's gotten away with. Someone could use that AS porn.

An okay episode. I enjoyed the main plot, didn't really care about Steve and Rodger's thing.

I could use those pills.:p

Speaking of which, I thought it would be one of those "pills-have-bad-side-effects" plots. Glad I was wrong.

The U.S. military developed two chemicals that taken together replaces the chemicals the brain replaces during sleep and they work. A person can stay up a week with those pills.

A decent episode. I think my problem with it was that the concept of a life without sleep really intrigued me, but it led to just another "marital difficulty" storyline. They probably didn't intend to tackle the issue seriously, but it just opened up some interesting ideas to me and I didn't feel satisfied with how they used them. Surely there's some other disadvantage to the drug than the roundabout turn of events that led to Stan and Francine spending less time with each other, and I think that would've made for a more interesting story.

The whole "girls doing suggestive things" was funny at first when they were talking to Roger ("What's your problem? Do you get a bonus every time you say 'anything'?"), but the punchline when they were doing stuff in the background was incredibly predictable: Steve and Roger are gonna keep being oblivious to them and making their own unsuccessful scenarios.
