AWESOME!! Loved it... the PWW doorbell was genius and I especially liked the trip during Touch Me Pt II. Brilliant!!

I loved it, and the inside jokes with lyrics were sweet!

Dude...it's stuff like that that makes them make shows about us!   ;D ;)  Uh, speaking of...anyone notice this Furturtle poster on the wall of the "MMJ Hangtime Room"?   ;D

My favorite part was def the PWW doorbell...as soon as that transpired, I wanted that shit more than Bellawood flooring.

This made me giggle, and Google "Bellawood flooring"   ;D

Wow that whole thing hit close to home.  My wife and I were laughing hysterically.

Same here!  I laughed my head off, and I may have even gotten a little misty too.  I'm really jonesin' for a show!

I loved all the little inside jokes, but I don't think I'll be watching American Dad again...I thought the humor was kind of lowest common denominator.  IMO the whole "getting backstage" sequence was unnecessarily raunchy and demeaning to women.  My parents taped it, and I'm kind of thinking about telling them not to watch for fear it will turn them off the Jacket.

It's also the featured program on Hulu right now, or it was the first thing that came up when I went looking for it.

That was amazing!  The writers are obviously pretty big fans.  Watching it was surreal.  I kept on thinking, "them's my boys!"

Loved the posters, thought that was a real nice touch.  Wish they used a Burwell but pretty sick anyways

I totally agree.  The whole time I was watching it, I thought I cannot believe that this is happening.  Who would have thought!!!  I cannot wait to see what my sister and brother-in -law think.  They recorded it and were gonna watch it tonight.  They are sort of newbie fans to MMJ (thanks  to my constant plugging)

Someone posted an article that said the co-creator saw them at bonnaroo.

It's toungue-in-cheek and was a parody of Almost Famous and of groupies in general. It's not demeaning to women, anyone who is smart enough knows that most women don't act like that but some do.

I'm not talking about the Almost Famous parody...obviously I got that, and thought it was sort of cute.  I'm talking about the sequence while "Remnants" was playing.  Flashing cooch to get backstage?  Really?  That was tasteless, and not something I want to associate with MMJ, even if it's cartoon cooch  :P

That, and fart jokes are an utter waste of Zach Galifianakis.

Totally!!! I am glad you pointed that out, Lady. I was just as excited about Zach as he is mad funny, but he had only a couple lines. Oh, well. I guess you can't have it all.

That was the first episode I ever watched of the show and I'm with you--I won't be watching again.

P.S.--Do you ever watch "Between Two Ferns?"  :P
Cow temperature.

Does anyone have a link for watching it in Oz? Everyone I try says it can't be watched outside the US. :(
How loud can silence get?

Really? You didn't see the humor in it? I'd try harder and don't take yourself so seriously.
It's a bad idea

My Dear God this was the greatest 30 minutes of my life.  My girlfriend and I were laughing our asses off, because it was me to a T!!

Did anyone record a DVD version of this, the Karma will be passed on!!

Hello to everyone, I've been away due to a bloody divorce, but Im back, Alive, and ready for the Jacket to get back in the studio.  MOF is great, but its time.

Hey, what's up man!  Good to hear from you.  Sorry about your marriage news.  Glad your back.

I thought it was awesome zach was on there.  makes me wonder if he'll do more stuff with the band in the future movie or video performance wise.  I thought the 900dollars for a bootleg of bullshit was pretty funny.  it's just funny the concept, how rare songs to diehard fans are suppose to be amazing but really they sound like a bunch of people are taking a dump.

maybe I'm just stiz to the niznoned.  It was almost unbearable watching family guy waiting for this other cartoon to come on that I'd never seen before.  that episode was pure MMJ, has that ever been done before?  it was almost a shameless promotion of the band to the entire nation and it was done well.  they had the trip out sequence everything.  it's so funny when they peace out of the driveway and the highly suspicious riff is wailing as they drive off.  the bo and carl pinball thing was really hilarious.  I wonder if they got to take part in the concept of the episode or if it was purely the writers worshiping the Entity that is My Morning Jacket.
