    Da Bomba bam bam

    This episode was so good the first time it aired. Now, I'm in re-run heaven. Especially, on Adult Swim, where there are a few less beeps.

    I know it's done along the lines of Little Shop of Horrors. But, the theme is a bit different with Little Shop of Hot Tubs.

    There isn't a whole lot to say that wouldn't be some serious spoilers. So trust me when I say that I would do anything to see this over and over again. Wipe my family's memories, and watch it a few more hundred hours.

    One of The Best music episodes I've ever seen. Though I am wondering about Rogers's "little bro, soccer bro" connection.

    I'm scared.

    One of the best

    Featuring CeeLo Green as a talking, singing hot tub, this Little Shop of Horrors themed episode pays loose homage to its source material. This is one of the stand out episodes for the entire series. It's certainly quintessentially an American Dad episode, but goes beyond the typical musical fare to create an enticing musical episode. I don't want to spoil much, but urge you to watch.

    Skip this one.

    This whole episode feels like a weird ad for CeeLo Green. Mediocre premise with unfunny execution, and a horribly unsatisfying ending. Also full of CeeLo and other characters singing, which is a nice, fresh concept for a one-off. But, it becomes overused after the 3rd song maybe 10 minutes into the episode.

    It's just not worth the watch.

    Favorite in the SethVerse

    So good!!! So many references, good music, Francine singing like MRBigg, to good. Very well done and one of my favorite episodes in the entire SethVerse(family guy, American dad, Cleveland show, Orville)

    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Was originally planned as the series finale, which is why the episode concludes with the line "Stan's dead. Goodbye". Once the show was renewed it became a season premiere.
    • Goofs
      In the final scene, the Smith house is shown to be on the corner of two roads. In every other episode of the show, it has a neighbouring house on both sides with no road in between.
