Talking Simpsons - American Dad! "Pilot"
3w ago02:43:00Tap to summarize"Francine, you be very careful out there today—we're at terror alert orange! Which means something might go down somewhere in some way at some point in time... So look sharp!" - Stan Smith This week, we're switching gears and looking back at the first episode of American Dad, which only just returned to Fox after over a decade of basic cable existence. Though the series was at first seen as a cheap copy of Family Guy born out of the misery of the George W. Bush administration, American Dad didn't take long to carve out its own weird, wonderful identity and quietly thrive over the last two decades. So join us as we explore the roots of an entirely different prime-time cartoon that refuses to die. What a Cartoon! - American Dad!

Talking Simpsons - Mommie Beerest With Stuart Wellington
Mar 2501:59:22Tap to summarize"One thing Moe Szyslak has never had is a partner. Nor a wife, a friend, a chum, a casual acquaintance, a pen pal, a parrot, a meaningful conversation, a brief hug, or eye contact. I'm just going to call the suicide hotline now. ...And they've blocked my number." - Moe Szyslak Homer bails out Moe's by mortgaging the Simpson home, and Marge supervises this new investment by helping turn the run-down tavern into a classy British pub.
