    Stan sets Bullock up on a date with one of Francine's friends. Fearing that Francine will be right about the outcome of the date, Stan goes to great lengths to make sure it goes well by getting everyone drunk. Unfortunately, Bullock accidentally kills the woman, to which Stan frames Francine for the murder in order to keep her from asking so many questions.



    Overall a great episode, it was funny when Bullock ninja kills the woman

    Stan sets Bullock up on a date with one of Francine's friends. Fearing that Francine will be right about the outcome of the date, Stan goes to great lengths to make sure it goes well by getting everyone drunk. Unfortunately, Bullock accidentally kills the woman, to which Stan frames Francine for the murder in order to keep her from asking so many questions.



    Parts I like:



    * Roger's subplot. He was really funny being as Kevin Bacon



    * Roger (as Kevin Bacon) driving drunk.



    * Stan breaking Klaus' bowl



    * Flashbacks of Francine saying "I told you so."



    * Thunder coming out



    * Bullock accidentally kills his date



    * "Screw you, I'm Kevin Bacon!" said by Roger.



    * The weird dude coming out of Francine's sterling wheel.



    Scenes I don't liked:



    * Stan thinking Francine is the murderer.



    * Some parts were boring.



    Overall score: 8.5/10 (B)

    Stan goes to great lengths to prevent Francine from telling him "I told you so", when she objects to hooking one of her friends up with Bullock. Turns out her fears will right when Bullock accidentally kills the woman. Stan tries to set it up and make Francine believe she killed her friend. Will his plan end up working in the end?



    Good episode. It is not one of my favorites but it was a really nice episode, the lengths Stan goes to prevent his wife from telling him those words was pretty good. Nice episode overall, even though I did not like the last half a lot, my final grade is a B. A solid B
  • Stan framing Francine for murder and Roger getting a nose are both brilliant ideas.

    This episode is very funny and some hilarious parts are when after Francine teaches her class in Africa a little kid just let a wolf take him away and when Roger accedentially ran over that guy and killed him he checked his pulse, saw he was on camera so he shot the survaliance camera, then he wiped of the gun and put it next to the guy to make it look like he killed himself. Also the Footloose musical was my favorite musical in American Dad history. Overall because of its amazing humor and two amazing storylines is why ths is in my top 5.
  • Great episode with one of my favourite subplots.

    "Superb"
    In one of my favourite Season 2 episodes, Stan wants to set Bullock up with Francine's friend, but he doesn't want to hear Francine say the words "I told you so.", so he trys to make sure the date is a sucess.



    I practicually like this episode for its subplot, where Roger is called a monster by a child for not having a nose, so he starts wearing a fake nose modeled after Kevin Bacon's, while everybody foolishly thinks he's the real Kevin Bacon.



    Its funny how Roger acts like a complete jerk to make Kevin Bacon look like one himself. I also like how in the end, the real Kevin Bacon is blamed for everything Roger did.



    The main plot wasn't so bad as well. The idea of Stan framing Francine for her friend's accidental murder is downright twisted, but it's also really funny how she reacts when she's told the truth.



    Overall, a very good episode. I recommend it to any fan of the show.
  • Please don't say I told you so!

    This episode is hilarious, with Stan's boss needing a date, and the repercussions of this getting out of hand to avoid hearing Francine say "I told you so". The framed murder, excuses and evolution of this episode are all hilarious, and while the ending wasn't perfect, it was still entertaining, and that's the main point of the show.



    Stan and Francine's marriage has been through a lot, but this has got to be the most out there fight they've ever had. The concept of Stan framing his wife for murder to stop her from being right is a bit farfetched for the character, but the plot is pulled off well, and overall the episode makes me laugh, so that's the main thing.
  • This was a brilliant episode with a fantastic side-plot!

    9.0
    "Superb"
    I liked the main storyline in this a lot, with Bullock killing Francine's friend and Stan covering it up. It reminds me of the episode where Roger tricks Steve, unnecessarily complicatedly, into believeing he was adopted just to get him back for saying "You snooze, you lose.." This is a similar concept in that Stan will go to extraordinary lengths to stop Francine saying "I told you so.."



    Having said that, the side plot was as good as, if not better, in my opinion! Roger being Kevin Bacon prompted this fantastic American Dad! quote:



    Steve: Roger, we can't keep doing this.

    Hayley: Yeah, I mean, it's stealing.

    Roger: Oh, oh, excuse me, are you an ethicist? Are you? Is there an ethicist in the house?!

    Woman: I'm an ethicist.

    Roger: Well, screw you, I'm Kevin Bacon!



    A brilliant episode, gave it 9/10 because I liked it a lot, very funny!
  • Loved this episode there seems to be some character development in this episode especially from Rodger.

    "Superb"
    This episode is really about Stan desperately not wanting to hear the four horrid words "I Told You So" because Francine thought it was a bad idea to set up Bullock on a blind date with her friend, and then a sub plot with Rodger pretending to be Kevin Bacon because of his fake nose. I liked both the plots they were both equally as funny. Bullock is one of my favorite characters on the show and thats why I liked this episode a lot. Watch it a few times you might grow to like this episode.
  • If you missed this epiosde, then I TOLD YOU SO!

    these four little words, are on Stan mind in this little episode when he sets up a blind date between Bullock and one of Francie's best friends. when she was accidently murdered, Stan must cover up her murder and saying that Francie was the killer. I feel sorry for that murdered woman. She could've been a regular on the show. If you keep killing them off, there wouldn't be a show. Meanwhile, Roger gets a nose job to look like Kevin Bacon. he even made moves like him from the 1984 movie "Footloose." A fun epiosde, I shall give it a 8.
  • Roger becomes Kevin Bacon and Stan frames Francine for murder.

    9.2
    "Superb"
    This is a Classic example of how American dad can use an A+B story and leave you wondering which is which. The Episode starts with Stan and his Fellow CIA grumbling about Bullock constantly making them pull late shifts at the office, they come to the conclusion that Bullock needs setting up with a date and Stand gets left holding the bag on this one. So Stan asks Francine to set up Bullock with one of her Friends, and Francine is sceptical about how successful the date will be. Bullock ends up killing his date and Stan has to go to great lengths just to stop Francine from being able to say “I told you so”, he frames her for her friend’s murder which causes her to freak out and take off to India .Roger, Hayley and Steve are out jogging when a child calls Roger a monster because he has no nose, which upsets roger greatly. Steve and Hayley buy him a box of celeb’s fake noses which he tries on, with none of them looking less than ridiculous, until he reaches the last one: Kevin bacon’s which looks perfect. With his confidence back Roger goes to confront the child, but instead is met with people thinking that he actually is Kevin Bacon. From there he uses Kevin’s name to get all the free booze, food and stuff he can lay his hands on becoming more and more abusive as he takes everything he can get. The episode is full of the things that have made the series great so far: movie parodies, everyday observational humour and hilarious characters, by far my Favourite of this season.
