5.9/10. First real dud of the series. There was something enjoyable about all the runs through the airport in the end, but the "Ashley Angel from O-Town" bit got repetitive. It's pretty thin parody to begin with, but this episode felt like a mandate from the corporate masters that the folks behind the show phoned in rather than an original idea executed with gusto. Abe feeling hurt by Cleo not wearing his jacket (and Cleo being molested...frequently?) were weak sources of humor at best, and the whole thing grew tiresome quickly. (The animated eyebrows bit was a little amusing, I suppose.)

Gandhi scoring a hit with "G-Spot Rocks the G-Spot" was fine as a MAD TV level satire of the music industry, and the same goes for his and JFK's attempt to remix "Grand Old Flag" to the same effect. (Though the "one time" rap throw in was an amusing reference.)

Overall, the weakest episode so far, with a lot of shoe-horned in elements, with only the absurdity of the airport runs to really save it in the humor department.
