   It would have been a more complex show if they'd done that. It could   
   even have had a The Booth at the End vibe. Have you seen that?   
      
   I watched several more My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic episodes from   
   S2. This is a nice era. The show had begun to consider its older viewers   
   but still stayed true to its innocent core, and we get somewhat more   
   complex plots which are still accessible to kids.   
      
   I also watched more American Dad reruns. One was "Vacation Goo," and   
   that's one of my favorites from the show. The Smiths argue constantly at   
   home but always have a great time on vacation, and we learn that this is   
   because all of their vacations have been VR experiences Stan faked with   
   CIA technology. Francine asks the kids to plan vacations, but they also   
   prefer sticking their family in the goo. Francine decides the family   
   must have a real vacation together and the family agrees, but when   
   things go wrong, Stan can't convince Francine she isn't in the goo again   
   -- and that's just the first half. Good early characterization, good   
   jokes, and good plot twists make for an enjoyable episode.   
      
   What did everyone else watch?
