After a rousing discussion of interstate... in-transit... copulation...? during the Christine episode it was necessary that George see Parenthood. But instead the guys watched Vacation and no regrets were had.

George is familiar with Christmas Vacation, so to see the original in its early 80s R-Rated incarnation was not a very difficult leap. But was he ready for Ellen Griswold and Cousin Eddie in their more... raw form?

How many Russ's and Clarks's will Travis tally by the end of the episode? Will George finally recognize friend-of-the-show Anthony Michael Hall from his myriad of appearances? Will Dan manage to make it through a discussion of St Louis Missouri without dropping the cross-state rivalry burns?
