    What I liked: Francine and the officer, and admitting she was drunk, Stan realizing that everyone does need help and it does not make anyone weak, Roger's "Why would I need a comb?", Stan on crack, Steve kicking Stan, Hailey thinking she has a pot problem, and this being brought up again at the ending of the episode, the sign at the soup kitchen, the announcer pretty much endorsing crack in the middle of the episode, amongst other things.

    Really funny episode. The plot was original and unique and it brought some really good laughs to the table. What more could you ask for? Definitely giving this episode an A+ as a final grade. Best episode in a while, if you ask memoreless

    This is why I love American Dad. Family Guy has done two scenes with Peter on crack, but American Dad had the guts to do a whole episode based on Stan doing it, and it was delightful. Funny scene after funny scene, and some great new characters introduced including the reverse hostage negotiator and a little kid in Columbia whose entire neighborhood helped him mug Stan.

    Great well-written episode that also had a funny B storyline with Steve getting close to a girl only for his parents to prevent it from happening.

    Very enjoyable AD, but I expect nothing less from TV's best animated comedy.moreless
