This was the best episode of the night. Francine throwing Roger off the cliff was priceless.

It was pretty good, but it was too obvious that Roger was still lying to Francine and she seemed foolish to keep believing him. Also, Stan tumbling down Kilimanjaro was a little too similar to Homer falling down Springfield Gorge.

Great episode! I agree that it was weird for Francine to believe Roger every time he lied to her, and her throwing him off the cliff was great. I do think Roger had some empathy for his ex though....it would be nice to see him be truly empathetic towards someone without thinking of himself, just once. The lying joke and Stan's fall were a little time-consuming, something FG would do, but I enjoyed them because those things don't happen very often on this show. The hike with Stan and the kids was funny, and I liked how Klaus got to contribute something as well. Can't wait for Klaus's episode!

Klau's eppie is coming out March 11th; can't wait!

Roger so deserved that fall! All of the shows this weekend had a massage/warm feeling to it.

I can't wait either. Klaus deserves more solo episodes.

^Well, I wouldn't say he has the episode to himself...I'll be shocked if there's no side plot. But I'm still looking forward to it!

Pretty good episode; very reminiscent of Stephen King's THINNER, with an undertone of PET SEMETARY (the grave-robbing scene). I do like how it looked like they were going to do something like THE CLEVELAND SHOW's "Dancing With the Stools", but went off in a totally different direction. Stan loses his hair as he ages; however, in "Chimsale" we learned he's been bald for years and wear a hairpiece.

On "Dr. Klaustus": according to the AD Wiki, Klaus takes Roger's place when his Dr. Penguin alter-ego ("Man in the Moonbounce") is deployed to Iraq.
