What I liked: Stan in the bathroom and bullock walking in, Steve and the officer/guard who wanted a sandwich (is 4.23 good?), Steve having angina (which was kind of ruined by the 'sounds like vagina line, but oh well), "There goes the only man I'll ever love", amongst other things.

Good episode. It had a lot of funny parts and did not get boring. I liked the plot of the city banning trans fats, and I thought it was handled in a good way, so because of all of this my final grade is going to be a well-earned A+.moreless

live and let fry was a terrific, funny, and a awkward in a good way episode. all parts of this episode was so clever and the plot used much imagination. the ending carefully fitted this episode and did not messed up this episode, which usually happens to some tv shows. just simply an amazing episode for such a unique show. i think american dad is coming up, and family guy going down for some reason. live and let fry is one of my favorite episode. one of the best in season four.

highly recommended for such a unique episode folks.moreless

The city bans trans fat.

7.1

By thefanof, Mar 02, 2009

This episode felt really Family Guy like, especially with the ending where someone was in the hospital.

As far as Season 4 American Dad standards it was not one of my favorites, but there were still some genuinely funny moments such as Turlington searching for $4.25 for a turkey sandwich.

Roger's storyline was also really weak, which has been a cause for concern developing over the past couple of episodes. Since he is voiced by Seth MacFarlane we are guaranteed laughs on a weekly basis from the character, but he needs to stop dressing up as ridiculous things and start playing off the rest of the cast more.moreless

  Francine: I know. I used to cook everything in oil containing trans fat, but since the new law, you can't get it anymore.
  Stan: That's what trans fat is? The stuff that makes everything taste wonderful? Oh, why doesn't the city council just declare a war on flavor? Like the English did years ago.
  Steve: (to Francine) Their food is atrocious.
  Francine: I miss Lady Di.
  Steve: (to Stan) She was the people's princes...
  Stan: I know who she was, Steven!
  EDIT SHARE
- Steve: Dad, are you breaking the law?
  Stan: Yes, son, but it's a stupid law. It shouldn't exist to begin with.
  Steve: So, since the trans fat law is stupid, we don't have to follow it?
  Stan: Smart boy. What can I buy you? New baseball mitt, skateboard?
  Steve: Can I have a bunny?
  Stan: To kill?
  Steve: No, to love.
  Stan: Aw, geez.
