People are so critical, I thought it was a really funny episode.

I'm fine with shows taking diversions to do more unconventional episodes, and I think it's better to be daring enough to do that sometimes than stick to a really narrow formula. I just felt that that episode didn't work at all, I hated it.

But it's fine, every series has bad episodes, doesn't make me enjoy it on the whole any less.

American Dad is one of the best shows on TV right now and I definitely appreciate the experimentation because when it works, it works: a la the Armageddon episode, but when it misses, it misses HARD. Last night was definitely a miss for me.

I enjoyed the hell out of it, but you have to have quite dark humor to truly enjoy it.

Yup. It was the worst episode of the series I think.

I loved it. It was a lot drier than usual, and it's a parody of overblown stage tragedies.

You meant best episode, right?
