American Dad - 8x02 - Killer Vacation

    The family goes on a tropical vacation.  Stan tells Francine that he won't be distracted by work while they're away, and she wants to do all the activities the resort offers.  Steve is persuaded by another guy's accent to follow on a dangerous trip to peak at a nude beach.  Roger disguises himself as an elderly lady, and develops a senior romance.  And Hayley and Jeff are disenchanted with their sex life, and want to rekindle things.
    This is a busy episode.  None of the plots are strong enough to drive everything along, but there's always something fun going on.  I usually like Steve's plots more than the other characters, but here, it felt a bit thinner than I'd like.  But everything was being cut thinly, and jumping between the plots made a some lesser material much more enjoyable.
    AV Club gave this a C+.  That seems a little harsh, considering that nothing actually did badly.
