Maybe they should have called it "The Road to Springfield". That's the kind of fresh new title we need. Or "The Old Man and the Pete".

Oh man, that would've actually been fun, Chris.

Re: Simpsons/Family Guy crossover episode set for September
I feel terrible for this, but I actually laughed at some of the jokes. The opening was funny (though it went on too long), the beer joke was at least reasonably subtle (though it went on too long), and the
Basically, looks like they're taking the path of least existence here. All family members hang out with their counterpart, a cutaway gag (which Gulliver already did better in his "Futurama Guy" fic), a plagiarismo joke, a etc.

Heh! Well, jokes going on too long is a bit of a Family Guy tradition.
I have a feeling most of my enjoyment will hinge on how the Lisa/Meg side of the plot runs. And Lois/Marge. I fear for what they might do with their characters. At least the Homer and Peter stuff seems to work pretty well for others?
