Steve Smith: You think?
Francine Smith: Yeah. Any man who ever did anything great was just trying to show up some piece of ass who didn't give him any.

What a show. American Dad is what Family Guy was For the early best part of it I think. I've seen lots of reviews saying that AD was better and now that I've watched most of it I can see why. It's a little different vibe but apparently not as much input by Seth or so I've read. This was a pretty good episode but when Francine grabbed an excited Steve I had a real laugh out loud. Then they follow it up with a spanking episode? Good stuff. Highly recommend.
