He blew it TWICE, he got two shots and blew it in totally avoidable ways on both occasions.

I hope she gives him a third shot and he blows it again.

One time when I was very tired, when in my early 20s, after watching a ton of American Dad I fell asleep. My mom woke me up, and my first response was "Where's Francine???" in a panic.


The only other two shows I literally confused for reality are Passions and Fringe. The former was after waking again (I asked for Dr. Eve and Julian), and the latter was passing out during a blood test and thinking I was an abducted Fringe Agent when I woke up.

Honestly if they revisit that bit again it probably would actually be funnier if he actually does manage to stick the landing as a subversion of expectations

He was dead but came back to life to honor a coupon. Or maybe the coupon created a twin? I seem to remember some crazy twin story too.

Is Dr. Ray in or is he out dead today?

Also, another reason why the TBS era is somehow better than the Fox era is that it continually introduced new recurring characters and recurring jokes, instead of depending on old stuff. Dr. Ray, Bazooka Sharks, Morning Mimosa, etc. I think Billy and his creator (blanking on the name) are post-Fox too, though I might be wrong.

A lot of long running shows don't take this initiative. I'm struggling to think of a single The Simpsons recurring character from after the Scully era. Maybe Chalmers' kid? Regardless, that show is getting really good lately, Francine.

Nah, it was when he forced Jeff to make him a super extravagant fishbowl.
It was still red hot and fell through the floor.

And arguably, she gave him a third chance in the cow episode from last season when she let him say his really important message. "Uhhhhh... hey."

There are all kinds of late season Simpsons characters that nobody talks or cares about. Julio was introduced 20 years ago and has had speaking roles in dozens of episodes. He even got more accurately recasted a few years back.

Still, the major argument defenders of the late season Simpsons episodes put up is "the show just got old, it happens" and AD's continued quality is a full throated refutation of that argument. However, no one gives a poo poo about American Dad. For whatever reason, no one cares about the show, ever.

I love that AD keeps the dysfunctional family stuff going, especially interspersed between the weirdly supportive episodes, it's so much funnier. Bob's burgers got a lot lamer when he stopped telling his family how terrible they were.

I think what makes it work is that there's no designated punching bag among the Smith's, pretty much every member is just as likely to be dealing out the abuse as they are to be receiving it

I think overall they've written the Smiths as a much more functional family than earlier in the series, or other animated shows of its ilk.
