A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

What I've found odd is how many episodes this season have focused on flashbacks.

Maybe they are gearing up for a big Watchmen tribute.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Ooh I just got all tingly.

So who killed Dr. Venture? The episode seemed to imply that it was his not-actually-mute bodyguard, but it also hinted that maybe it was Rusty himself?

I thought that it was the bodyguard, since he felt all guilty.

Yeah I assumed it was Kato.

This Bob Saget thing is the first celebrity roast I've watched, as others I've seen advertised previously lacked someone as hot as John Stamos filling in the hosting duties. But are they always this unfunny? Cloris Leachman is the only roaster that's consistently had good jokes so far.

I thought the William Shatner roast was highlarious. Pam Anderson was mostly funny because of how out of control Courtney Love was. Bob Saget hasn't aired yet in my region so I can't tell you if it's just that I like roasts. I'm sure the uncensored version will be funnier.

yes, Matt, you should watch the version at 1AM, it's uncensored, and usually better.

yup I just love roasts. I didn't get why everyone was laughing at Norm McDonald but I though the rest of it (especially Cloris Leachman) was quite funny.
