Best Family Guy evar.  Why?  The Halle Berry part.  WOO HOO!!!

I'm hoping someone puts the Somewhere That's Green part on the Web.

Has anyone else noticed that Seth McFarlane's TV families have a fair bit in common?

Stan & Peter:  both had longer hair when they were younger (although Stan's wasn't THAT long)
Francine & Lois:  both have semi-unconventional names for today's audience (I know one Francine and no Loises); both were party girls when they were younger
Hayley & Meg:  both are the older sister, both are built about the same, both get really mad at their fathers for their antics
Steve & Chris:  both have an older sister (kinda lame, but y'know), both look like their fathers in miniature (Chris has the nads on his chin like Peter, and Steve looks like a weak-chinned version of Stan), both have something strange in their closet (Steve = geek collectibles, Chris = evil monkey)
Roger & Brian:  both like their liquor, both are probably smarter than everyone in the family
Klaus & Stewie:  both have European accents, both want something untoward to happen with the matriarch (Stewie = death, Klaus = sex)

Just sayin'.

All of these things contributed to my dull interest in the show.  Felt like I was being fed a formula show.

Yeah.  I still watch AD, but I don't like it as much as I like FG.

Remember the "Deep South" episode where Stewie said, "can they really say bang my girlfriend on TV?"

Well, they can.  I just heard it on an episode of Without a Trace.  Go fig.

I sat and watched Family Guy and American Dad last week.  Very funny.

"A single white girl... living in the city... who works at a magazine!"

Wow, with some of the new shows coming on as midseason replacements, Family Guy hit it right on, didn't they.  Seems as though a preponderance of new shows are about single white girls living in big cities and having success at work but just can't meet the right man although there's always a quirky relative/friend to help out.

*sigh*

If great shows didn't get cancelled, we wouldn't see more drivel.

This season it was aliens.  Next season, supposedly, the trend is end-of-the-world shows.

Consider the creator's background- he worked at Hanna Barbera. HB is famous for churning out look-alike shows with one or two tweaks and that's it. He's just following in the tradition.

New one tonight.  American Dad as well.

(beefy, your avatar is creeping me out)

Overall a decent episode, although as per usual for Season 4/5 (whichever one we're in) they're cramming way too much stuff into far too little time.

Best part:  Emperor Chris.

[cnamon]

I saw a little bit of this...I saw the exchange with Edison and his damned electricity.

[Beefy]

My two favorite parts were the Oak Ridge Boys and the cameo by the American Movie guys at the end.

Seconded

Tonight's episode was messed up.  Very strange.  Like most of the new ones, though, amusing in many places, but not funny as a whole.

I actually think that American Dad tonight is funnier than Family Guy, and I've never seen that happen.  Ever.

[Beefy]

Missed it tonight.  Was watching Batman Begins with my dad.

[Bishamonten]

I actually think that American Dad tonight is funnier than Family Guy, and I've never seen that happen.  Ever.

Yea, I was watching American Dad and thinking, "I can't believe this is now funnier than Family Guy!"

Granted American Dad crapped the ending.

[Beefy]

Rerun tonight.

Heartache tonight.

I love that song.
