I watched it Tuesday night online. Went in thinking it might be a real letdown with it being some soppy drama program but it is ALOT better than what I thought it would be. Really enjoyed and was really intrigued by it, different spin on the Batman universe and the creators have done it well IMO, so far so good.

Is Madam Secretary a poor mans version of House of Cards??

not sure I can take Tea Leoni seriously in a role like that
Matty Wade is a star and deserves more respect from the forum family!

Yep another good episode, I'm fully into it, really intriguing series. Bit annoyed I miss the next two episodes, the same with Supernatural season 10 starting Monday because of my holiday, just have some catching up to do when I get back.

I've never seen an episode of Family Guy before so I wasn't sure what to expect - I did LOL on several occasions.

the fight scene at the end was a bit silly but otherwise a good episode.

i think the simpsons are very much overrated and i love family guy, but i thought the crossover was very funny.

fight scene is a running family guy joke - much funnier if you have watched family guy before.

here is the original one, but there is almost one per season :D

I saw it today. I think the fact it was being screened at Family Guys timeslot allowed the Simpsons characters to be more "adult" and it made it way funnier. The Simpsons is getting a bit stale, and a move to a later time slot, and maybe an M rating could liven it up a bit.

i liked when Peter Griffen said he liked Duff 12-13 years ago but has gone off it now :lol:

The court room part was funny when they were comparing all the knock offs.

Karl - "You know why they've put us next to each other, don't you"

Cleveland - "Yeah........coz we're the two funniest guys in town"

:lol:

My favourite part was the car wash :lol:

Definitely a knock off from a movie but I can't put my finger on which one.

I have several "movies" that start like that FC ;)

I forgot about that....it was pretty F'd up...really funny though. Thats one of the things the Simpsons wouldn't have been able to do so graphically.

I think the highlight was Homers locker full of Golden Globes and when he began throwing them at Peter "Hey, that's unfair, I don't have any of those"

Or reading the Springfield sign, "But which state" ---"I don't think we can legally say?" :lol:
PAFC. Forever.

the crossover was a corker!

one of my favourite bits was Lisa getting Meg to yell she was special, and then you hear Peter screaming "Shut up Meg. No one thinks you're special" from the kitchen.

I got into it late as well only finishing it a few months back. I watched all 5 seasons over about 2 months. I think it was the best TV show I have ever seen.

Season 5 is gripping stuff
