This was a great episode...of Family Guy I guess youd say. Its under FG anyway.

Stewie capturing Sideshow Bob was so cool. Only he could do it huh? and Meg just had to be good at the saxophone. The one thing.

It was a bit weird seeing the Simpsons getting a little darker with the violence and such.

I thought this crossover was very well done, The Peter vs. Homer fight was epic, and Stewie was as diabolical as ever by capturing Nelson and some of Bart's other enemies (besides Apu though I liked Stewie's excuse for it) I'd say my only nitpick was that Stewie didn't really interact with Maggie. I really thought there'd be something with that, and I was a bit disappointed since Brian interacted with Santa's Little Helper. I was hoping Chris would interact with Bart while Stewie would interact a bit with Maggie. However, despite that small nitpick, I enjoyed the crossover for what it was and thought they did well with it. The end scene with Stewie writing on the chalkboard and crying was just adorable. Poor guy!

My main complaint or problem I have with the cross-over is the fact it had little to no centralized plot or story. Peter and the gang lose their car only to find out Mole Man took it half through the episode.

But it did have a plot in that they had to find out who took the car. I still can't get over that car wash scene. That was the best!

Maybe it was the fact that I didn't get my hopes up high for this crossover but I actually enjoyed it

Had a lot of funny moments, Brian / Santa's Little Helper plot was pretty funny, talking walking dog with regular acting dog was a lot of fun

Bart / Stewie plot was another fun plot, I want a crossover 2 with The Simpsons in the Family Guy area. Bart can go on another adventure with Stewie only it'd likely be more dark and sinister in that show than it was in The Simpsons

Meg / Lisa plot was ok, I liked how Lisa gave Meg a gift and a hug at the end, kind of gave me an awe feeling. Poor Meg, shows how much of a difference the fathers are when you compare gifts they get

It was odd seeing Chris with Brian, I'm used to seeing with Stewie or Peter only. The interactions was fun though.

Over all pretty good, I hope this isn't a one time thing, I'd like a sequel

Edit;

Forgot to say, they had a disturbing scene...Homer and Peter car wash scene, Oh gosh they should have not added that scene in, the horror that was

"I think I speak for all of us when I say, I'm over The Simpsons."

So if even the creators know both these shows suck, WHY ARE THEY STILL MAKING IT? Clearly they're not having any fun, cause if they did, it would've translated to this special! But it didn't. I laughed once!

If this happened in 2005, maybe I'd laugh more.

Overall, I think the crossover worked. Credit was given where credit was due and the contrast between both shows' humor and characters were handled perfectly. The courtroom scene was genius, the cameos were pleasant, and the whole show was genuinely entertaining. I get that it's virtually impossible for a crossover of this magnitude to meet everyone's expectations due to the infinite amount of missed opportunities, but for an hour special, it was great and you'd be lying if you said you didn't laugh a few times. Otherwise, people just like to bitch and moan. While they've pretty much shot down the idea of doing another crossover, I seriously hope it happens again.

While I enjoyed the episode, I'd rather you would'nt speak as if you know how people react to it. Whenever someone plays that card, It's normally a sign of insecurity in their own tastes.

I didn't feel it was weak though, but I guess they had no other options.

As I said, it worked for what they did, and Peter's line was a joke anyway. I know there were rumors before that said Seth MacFarlane and Matt Groening hated each other, but that's not true at all. I remember on one of my FG DVDs, Seth says that the two actually respect one another's work and it shows in some of the episodes like "PTV" where Stewie runs over Homer and even references "Mr. Plow." Or when Peter was in the "Send in the Clones Clones Clones" Halloween episode. I loved the courtroom scene and how the Kool-Aid guy called and said, "I'm sorry, I'm in the wrong courtroom."

Does it make you sleep better at night thinking I'm insecure of my own tastes or do you just like being a little bitch?

He has a point though in that you can't speak for everybody and how they liked the episode. Some did like it and some didn't. You shouldn't assume that everyone loved it because that's not always the case.

Yes, but before you said, "Come on, you know you probably laughed a few times" so that's why I said what I said. But whatever.

Oh, I loved that part, and the part with the Kool-Aid guy being in the wrong courthouse.

How does "you'd be lying if you said you didn't laugh" mean "OMG you know you ****in' loved it?"
