- TriviaThe "dream girl" from the season nine episode Independent Movie (2013) makes a cameo appearance.
- Crazy creditsInstead of the usual opening credits, the theme plays softly in the background, like muzak in the mall, and neon letters with store names flicker off, then only the ones that spell "American Dad!" come back on.

Featured review
Why The Low Ratings?
The beginning of the episode had a strong whiff of Rabid Ears, one of my all time favorites of Seth MacFarlane's shows. Unfortunately, the pace changes quickly, but the story remains rooted in the realm of surrealism. Overall, it's a solid episode with plenty of laughs with the former American center of social life - the mall - getting its final eulogy.
Generally, I'm beginning to like American Dad more than Family Guy. At least because of the absence of partisan political tropes that nobody is interested beyond US borders - or what is left of them. *buuuurn*
While Family Guy repeatedly fails to stand beyond the day-to-day business of opinionating, American Dad stories are of a much broader character portraying the effects of the ongoing downfall of the USA as a nation and cultural realm. It highlights the failing individual trapped inside and believing in a system with multiple individual failings.
That is where Family Guy most often fails, but American Dad more often than not can excel - and this including this episodes.
