AD has always had really good internal consistency even after massive staff changes, so I'd count on it. Still can't watch AD legally since the switch since the worthless TBS affiliate my cable provider gets doesn't show it, lol

Finally caught up with the TBS season just now and man, no one was underselling the badness of "American Fung". Absolutely no concept AD has ever tried has struck out so utterly. Nothing about it worked, it was just a hackneyed high concept flailing spraying flop sweat everywhere.

Futurama's return series produced a handful of the very best episodes of the entire series, that's a truly terrible simile.

I haven't seen any of the new season except 'The 200', but what a place to start. One of the best mass callbacks any animated show has ever assembled. I was gnawing my own teeth in anticipation of Ricky Spanish and it exceeded expectations in delivery

I still haven't seen the first half of the new season but James Hetfield did a good job in his inexplicable guest performance and that was probably the most expensive sound licensing AD's had, likely proffered at a friendly discount

'Joint Custody' still reigns, but there's a wonderful 30 deep list of all-timers by now.

AD is a joke-driven show, and there's like 6 skeletal A-plots they hang episodes on. Stan & Francine need to spice up their marriage / Stan needs to stop taking Francine for granted during a crazy hobby / Stan tries some crazy CIA device / Steve wants to touch boobs or become a man / Haley and or Jeff Tries to do something / Roger has a Huge Rube Goldberg Scheme All the great animated shows boil down to this when they pass the S6 mark. The biggest offender is actually The Simpsons due to sheer quantity, but they're seriously up to 8th generation cannibalizations of classic episode stories.

I'd definitely slot most of those into the class of "Experimental Fantasy Episodes" wherein something insane happens using the characters and it's above and beyond the canon of AD's standard disregard for continuity, like 'Tearjerker', 'Hot Water', 'Blood Crieth Unto Heaven', the B-story of 'Ricky Spanish' (Tungee), etc. The Halloween/Christmas episodes are like this but in their own festive category!

AD's Years-apart 4th wall callbacks are some of the most perfect moments in the show's arsenal and I can't even fathom an individual joyless enough to claim they're somehow "obnoxious". That doesn't even make sense, rofl

I was disappointed that the brief 'Goodfellas' narration gag was in the hands of an inexperienced writer ill-equipped to make a sweet self-deprecating 4th wall joke about it, because any longtime Dadder would know it was the entire framing device of S3's "Meter Made"

Great that AD is back. I want to shout out its continued consistency in production, even with the channel changeover there's been no perceptible loss of quality in animation or sound. The scene where Francine takes a reluctant Stan to the vegan restaurant and he reacts with the disingenuous "Yaaaaaye" is one of the funniest nuanced face gags I've ever seen in an animated comedy

If you ever check the credits closely you'll notice that AD has an very high success rate with recruiting all its celebrity cameo voicework. And not even just when people are "playing themselves" the standard non-Smith core cast episode averages like 2-3 special guests of note who throw in a few lines
