American Dad "It's Good to be the Queen"(Spoilers)

Stan and Francine attend Francine's high school reunion, where Stan hopes to live his dream of dancing with prom queen. When it's discovered Francine lost by two votes, Stan must choose between his wife or the dance of a lifetime. Meanwhile, Roger and Steve seek enlightenment from the local pizza delivery guy.

I would follow this pizza delivery guy anywhere.

 

[SirLemming]

The pizza guy subplot really didn't work for me, but the main plot was standard AD goodness. I was a little confused at the end, though -- why did Francine shoot the guy who didn't say the sweet stuff? I thought she said Stan would never say anything like that, so shouldn't she have shot Stan at that point? I must've missed something here.

Worst one yet. I thought it was poorly paced. with a predictable ending. 2/5.

Fave line: "How do you play Monopoly Backwards?"

 

[Jazman]

Excellent episode. Both plots (and really, the 3rd one too) were great. My favorite joke: The Adapt a Highway joke, the 3rd drawer and the gay-dar joke were funny.

Great Job. 5/5

 

[Daffy Dork]

Excellent American Dad episode.

Stan's overreacting still remains funny. Especially when he hired his double (I loved how he remembered everything ) I also found that "Send them baaaaaack!" Cologne gag great. That "Gaydar" watch was also great stuff.

The Steve story was great. I loved the scene where he was throwing the pizzas over the bridge. And that Pizza delivery man was brilliant, I need to listen to him from now on.

The Hayley plot... went nowhere. Fun Star Wars concert idea though.

4/5

 

[Classic Speedy]

Not the funniest episode of the season, nor the most well-crafted script, but still plenty of funny moments to be had. I enjoyed the spoof of the exact doubles climax, Stan's double's exact knowledge of specific moments in time (especially loved the tampon part), and Roger at his bully's door. Francine's line where she says "If you're so darn- no wait, DAMN, that's right, I went there, if you're so DARN..." was a nice twist.

But man, all the jokes about the overweight REAL Homecoming queen sucked, especially when she got drunk and slurred through speech. And none of the Haley/pot jokes succeeded.

In response to Lemming's question, it's to tell who the real one is.

I wonder if anyone actually does the "holding up boombox with Peter Gabriel playing" trick. Having Gabriel Byrne as a replacement is good though.

I really liked the Francine/Klaus bits, sounds like a good friendship. How do you play Monoploy backwards anyway?

 

[Dantheman]

I loved that John Delorean High School had gull-wing doors. Haley and Klaus' stoner-induced discussions were funny,especially the bit about the Star Wars band.

"How do you play Monopoly backwards?"

She obviously wanted to shoot the REAL Stan.

I'm still confused.

And none of the Haley/pot jokes succeeded.

I actually really liked that C-plot, if only because I've had evenings like that and it rang true. It's a very understated, low-on-hilarity plot (except for the "How do you play Monopoly backwards?" line, which was great), but I thought it was kinda cute. Different strokes.

I was a little bit left down by this one, not so much because it did anything wrong but because there just weren't that many laughs. I think American Dad has excellent character work, but there weren't that many gags this time around that really connected. Having Steve and Roger spend an evening with a Christ analogue is a funny idea with lots of potential but I don't feel it really payed off.

Still, not too shabby. Even when this show doesn't hit all the right notes it usually manages to be somewhat endearing regardless.

I hope everyone enjoyed it, it's the last American Dad premire till atleast April. That new show is taking it's slot March 12..not Free Ride, but the other one....Damnit, I can't think of the name. Someone help me out.

 

[SirLemming]

I wouldn't consider Hayley's evening to be a subplot; it was really just part of Steve being home alone.

EDIT: Oh, I forgot to mention -- the fact that Hayley uses an iMac is classic.

Damn, April?! Are you for real?!

Argh.

Because she thought Stan would never say something like that, she assumed it was the body double, so she shot the other one, who she thought was the real Stan.

I thought this was an enjoyable episode.

The main plot was great, the Jesus as a pizza guy part was great, and the Haley scenes were pretty funny too.

A for the episode.

 

[ToOn~g@l]

This was an okay episode, the plot was a little boring but I found the one with Haley and Klaus kinda funny especially when they talked about which star wars character would be playing what instrument. "Oh no I forgot Yoda!"

I give this one a B.

OH, now I get it. She wanted to shoot Stan. Got it.

 

[Frank]

An okay episode of American Dad. I knew somehow Hayley was a stoner, but now we know for sure!

6/10 An okay episode but not great.

 

[Master Moron]

You know, I actually thought the whole killing of doubles in this episode was kind of mean spirited without really being all that funny. Kind of like Venture Brothers, which is the last thing this show needs to be like.
