  • The ending ruined the score

    9.0
    "Superb"

    Plot:Stressed out by his family and his obligations, Stan decides to buy a hot tub to relieve his stress, but gets into hot water when he finds out the hot tub is evil.
    Parts I liked:
    * Principal Lewis crashing Stan's car
    * Principal Lewis' text message
    * Steve appearing in a song saying Hey and then he said that Stan forgot to picks him up at school.
    * Most of the songs were good but one of them a bit too long (even though I mind because the longness in this show doesn't bothers me as much as Family Guy)
    * The ending where Cee Lo Green said "That's it, Stan's dead."
    Parts I disliked:
    * I didn't liked that the hot tub killed Principal Lewis, Francine and Stan. Stan had died a few times in the show (ex. The MostAquatics Christmas, Rapture's Delight)
    Overall score: 9/10moreless

  • The series' worst episode.

    "Abysmal"

    Every series has to have a worst episode. South Park has the Pip episode. Family Guy has the O.J. episode (and the Surfin' Bird episode and pretty much everything in the past four seasons).
    Hot Water is American Dad's worst. This episode was so bad that it made me temporarily hate my favorite animated program. This was such a disappointment. American Dad has remained consistently great while Family Guy has become so awful that it's almost unwatchable. I'm not opposed to producers doing something different but this missed the mark completely.
    If you're going to do a musical then at least write clever songs. And if you're going to rip off a movie, then be funny about it. I think they were trying to make this episode "cool" but it was just slow, stupid and boring. I seriously hope that this was a one-time thing and I hope they flog the writers that produced this crap.
    I doubt Seth MacFarlane comes up with the ideas for these episodes, but someone should have stopped this episode before it began. What makes American Dad so much better than Family Guy is that they have actual plot and don't rely on gags.
    Awful. Just awful.moreless

  • I don't understand the low score for this episode. It was epic

    9.5
    "Superb"

    I don't understand the low score for this episode. It was a great episode and didn't follow the traditional norm of how tv episodes are formatted. To everyone that hated on this episode, watch it again and let me know what you think. No really, I find that when you watch something twice you'll get it the second time around. I'll graciiously await your reply

  • Abysmal is an understatement....

    "Abysmal"

    Abysmal is an understatement. As the worst episode ever, I actually stopped watching it halfway through. They tried too hard to be "different" with this episode and failed miserably. It wasn't even funny. In fact, it was annoying/irritating to the point that I had to create an account on tv.com just to voice my discontent with this episode.ps. American Dad does the WORST impression when imitating "black people." Reginald, the koala secret agent, was a walking non-comical clich.
