Family Guy 11/8

I'm sure it'll fade from here, but if you missed the first five minutes of Family Guy, your loss. Peter buys "Road House" for a buck and proceeds to kick his point across to everyone, including Lucy for pulling the football away from Charlie Brown.

"And I did some checking around. You're not a licensed therapist."

 

The Lucy/Charlie Brown part will be the highlight of the show.

It's already starting to go down now.

 

Crap. I thought it was a re-run at 8 and a new one at 9.

 

Yeah but what a highlight it was. Screamingly funny.

OOP: Me too. Almost didn't flip over, but decided to make sure at 7:59. Fortunately Cartoon Network should rerun it next Sunday.

Oh crap, Brian in Die Hard. This is still goddamn funny even 12 minutes in.

 

The promos were saying its another new one at 9 too.

 

The Road House bits were great, but the "Brian in love" epsiodes always seem a little icky to me.
Yes, it's a cartoon, but the little hint of bestiality is weird. If they're going to treat him like just another character, fine. But they have him doing too much dog stuff to forget about it completely.

 

Anyone watch the Seth McFarlane special in between the two Family Guys?

Had a couple pretty good moments in it.

 

Kermit the Frog in "Philadelphia" was fucking classic.

"And now...JOHN DENVER!!!"

 

See, this is the thing with new Family Guy. Not only do they only have like three minutes of A-list material for a 22-minute episode, but the cannibalize themselves. The Lucy/Charlie Brown gag? Lois went on a kicking spree in her karate class in one of the early episodes. The last shot was of her trying to kick the ball, only Lucy pulled it away. Then Lois kicked her in the face and made her cry. Hot Done.

Of course, they usually cannibalize themselves on purpose, then joke about it. I think that's what the hipsters in their damned ironic t-shirts call "meta"

 

MMII, are you being ironic or sarcastic?

 

Miley Cyrus seems like a great target. Too bad that episode missed repeatedly.

 

Yeah, it wasn't very good. MacFarlene has got to be high when he makes those shows. They just don't make any sense after 10 minutes.
