Review for Gump Roast (DABF12)

DYN

...This is the first clip show since 9F17 not to have an unusually high P-code compared to the other episodes?

Review: It had to happen sooner or later. Another damn clip show. This one was good, as far as clip show's go, but a real momentum killer for the show which had been on a very good run the last few months. Still it was good all things considered, though here's hoping it's another 3-4 years before FOX forces down our throats another clip show. (C+)
