American Dad!

Stan arrives late to a CIA nuclear drill and thinks it's real. He decides to move the family into the mountains to survive the apocalypse. Even though he realizes his error, he begins to enjoy the attention that he gets from the family so much that he doesn't tell them the truth. However, when the family meets a mountain man and learns the truth, Stan has some explaining to do.

8 out of 10

Stan is late for a drill and thinks it is real, and that the world is ending. He moves the family (sans Roger and Klaus) to the mountains, where he keeps them even after he knows the world did not end, because he wants attention.



Good episode. The boob strikes again! I liked that line, as well as Stan hooking the mountain man up with that girl Roger pretended to want to marry, and the mountain man dancing with the bear he just killed. Good episode overall, and so because of all of this my final grade is a B

Stan being a boob is a redeeming aspect of this otherwise average episode, with the mountain man being overplayed, and Roger's quick engagement to a desperate Jew being a fairly dull plot with few payoff jokes.



However, Stan moving them out of harm's way only to be proven wrong again was a funny aspect of the episode, as his family has less respect for them than ever, but the mountain man going after Hayley went a bit overboard, and was more cringeworthy than funny.



This episode has some great jokes, but the episode itself is not an excellent one, but is far from the worst.

Stan's IQ is the center of this epiosde. Stan was late for a CIA nuclear drill and thinks it's real. Stan packs his family and he and the family went in the wilderness. When he found out that it's only a drill, he wouldn't face his family because he do dumb things in the past and his family will find out the truth. Meanwhile, a mountain man goes after Stan's daughter Meanwhile Roger falls in love with a woman. These two elements of this epiosde comes together in the end. I can't reveal the ending, but it's an intresting one at that.

The whole nuclear war drill thing was a little contrived but hey, it's a cartoon, they dont have to make excuses for their plot devices, like Bart Simpson said once "It's a cartoon, it doesnt have to make sense."



The storyline was a little predictable but boy do i love Roger.. I think i see a little of myself in him, there would, no doubt, have been easier ways for him to get a blender but, being a vindictive little b*stard, he has to mess someone's life up to get what he wants. Oh man, he's awesome!



I'm getting a little sick of the Greys Anatomy referencs.. Family Guy, American Dad!, Scrubs, you name it, they've all done it. I hate that show and I'm sick of it muscling it's way into everybody's minds. You can get the same result by watching Scrubs and House and you dont have to look at that good awful Asian chick who looks like something I might scrape off the bottom of my shoe.



Enough about Greys Anatomy, moving swiftly onwards, this was a good episode, i thought, quite funny and a little off the wall, good stuff.

Once again the episode is a mixed bag of funny, and painful to watch. On the funnier side of things there was the entire idea of showing up to a funstcion in black face, wrong, but funny. Also, the idea of the moutain man was rather fun to watch. But alas everything else was sort of lacking energy and inspiration. Roger getting married to get a blender, it's ok. A desperate jewish woman, meh, predictable ending when the mountain man shows up at the wedding, *yawn.* Wake up writers and give us some good material, as much as I like stupid males, does Stan need to be as dumb as he is? Oh well, I'll watch next week and hope for a more solidly written episode.
