Family Guy - Star Wars Ep Coming
 
Who else is antcipating the return of this godly show in less than 2 hours?

(Sorry if a thread was already made. I'm just so excited :D )

Jed 05-01-2005 05:55 PM

I would be, if I lived in America and hadn't already seen the new episode over a week ago :P I'm looking forward to when it comes out here though, I'll watch every episode to give it the ratings it deserves, even thought I plan to d/l every episode as it's shown in the US.

The Stryker 05-01-2005 09:38 PM

I would be excited if i wasn't worried that Seth Macfarlene had lost what little comedic writing talent he had.

American Dad..After seeing the first two episodes I can safely say that its the WORST SHOW EVER MADE!

I woudln't go that far. There's plenty more terrible shows than American Dad.

Tonight's Family Guy was hysterical. After the GI came out of the bathroom stall, I thought it couldn't get any funnier, but then they had to show the Passion 2 bit. I damn near died.

It's suppsoed to improve after three episodes, give it a chance, it's still better than The Simpsons.

The Stryker 05-01-2005 10:03 PM

American Dad just seems to be Macfarlene's Desperate attempt at Recreating Family Guy after it was Cancelled and FG was a rip-off of the Simpsons to begin with so watering down an already over-used Dynamic doesn't help make New and engaging TV

*Goes and watches the 350th simpsons episode and dies alittle inside*

愛 05-01-2005 10:05 PM

Well, technically, every type of TV show has been done already, so why even bother watching anything if you're going to use that kind of reasoning?

...It actually is'nt, but I'm not going to start THAT argument....

I'm just asking for the show to be given a chance, after all, even The Simpsons' first season had a lot of crap in it, animation wise, and story wise, naturally it had two or three gems in there before becoming what it was Season Two

Brodie 05-02-2005 01:55 PM

I think you should start that one, Zarius, I'd be right there to back you up.

Anyway, Family Guy last night had my crying. The scenes of Peter as Jesus in the Passion, oh man, I almost died. The best part that had me crying was the scene from the Honeymooners. Then that nice little animation thing after Brian said "Upside down face" and Stewie slowly tilted his head, stuff like that is genius.

Anyone else notice the animation improvements? Like the scene with Peter driving in the car, if you look behind him, the background is almost 3d. And, again, the thing with Stewie.

American Dad was ok, not as funny as the first episode.

Peanut 05-02-2005 01:58 PM

I missed it all, but luckily I had seen the first Family Guy episode last week, so it's all good. It was completely hilarious. I loved it. I'm in the process of getting the second episode of American Dad. Should be decent at least. Even if it's not as good as the first episode, it probably beats the hell out of any of the first 3 seasons of the Simpsons, and all the new stuff.

DrSpengler 05-02-2005 02:00 PM

That GI Joe public service announcement made my week. And the fact that they got the original voice of Flint to do it made the whole thing even cooler. So long as Fox doesn't change the timeslot Family Guy whould be on for a while. :)

Ra 05-05-2005 12:35 AM

i, for one, would like to see Family Guy more offen. Stewie just has me in stiches every time :lol:

Jester 05-07-2005 09:27 PM

I love this show, but the premire was kinda week...it had it's moments...but there are batter family guy's out there....I did like A,erican dad though...ity could be good....i think MacFarlane is trying to be more political with it...it may be a good change of pace...:p

Hannah 05-07-2005 09:32 PM

Dude... I love Stewie... I'm gonna get a Stewie shirt at Hot Topic. x)

Doppleganger 05-11-2005 04:18 PM

Pretty promising what I've seen so far.

Jester 05-11-2005 04:46 PM

Family Guy rox....I love to see it back....last Sundays episode was awesome....:P can't wait for the next new episode...:P

DrSpengler 05-11-2005 05:24 PM

"Hey, where's Brian?"

"I dunno."

*slime*

God I love the obscure references. :lol:

Jester 05-11-2005 07:29 PM

"Wonder Twin powers, activate!!!"

MrPliggins 05-13-2005 09:28 PM

His underwear looks like a Jackson Pollack painting...LOL
And the you can't do that on television gag had me rolling..
last week's was hilarious..this show still has it. American Dad episode 3 was pretty funny too (missed episode 2 though)

Jester 05-14-2005 10:29 PM

Stewie: You know what else is discusting *fart* I broke a blood vessel!!

IceFlash78 05-16-2005 06:24 AM

I thoroughly enjoyed last night's episode. I was laughing so hard. I loved the way they ripped off Star Wars at the end, even including cameos by Chewie, R2, and C3PO. That fight with the chicken was hilarious. Anybody noticed that the chicken "died" the same way as that Nazi from the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" died? I wonder if we'll see him again...

Peanut 05-16-2005 04:51 PM

Although I thought the beginning was slow, I enjoyed the episode a good deal. The Star Wars ending was awesome. Also, have they added Mort as one of the "gang" now? It seems that way. If he is that's a good move. I've always liked him.

MrPliggins 06-05-2005 10:08 PM

Anyone catch tonight's episode? There were a few funny parts, but I think the plot was way too disorganized. It seemed to change every few minutes, strung together by distasteful gags. I like this show, but its probably my least favorite episode this season.

Turtledude2k3 06-07-2005 04:16 PM

yes last sunday's episode was bad.

I didn't even laugh all the way like I did in the episode before it (the one where Peter's goes blind)

I mean how could Brian be racist? He hates black people but he never barked at Cleveland in any episode.. Makes no sense..

Brain is not racist!

It's a comedy. Live with it.

MrPliggins 06-07-2005 06:38 PM

Yeah the racist thing was meant to be a gag, but for me it fell flat...besides the end scene where he turned off the Apollo... I got a chuckle out of that

Brian? Racist? The same Brian who was himself a victim of racism, who fought to have full rights as a dog, RACIST???!!!

It just doesn't make any sense.

Peanut 06-08-2005 04:36 PM

When has Family Guy ever made any sense? The baby and dog talk for Christ's sake.

Barkworm 06-08-2005 10:58 PM

That was the best part of the last episode!
"That's not me, I vote Democrate!" :lol:

Peanut 06-19-2005 08:06 PM

Once again Family Guy disappoints me. I'll also re-state that Roger is the best part of American Dad.

Hell yeah...That potato salad... :dead:

Barkworm 06-19-2005 11:21 PM

I haven't seen yesterday's episodes yet but so far both Family Guy AND American Dad have been a major disappointment IMO.

Agreed. I just think the best parts of American Dad so far have come from Roger.

You think, like that episode where they believe he was dead.
That was nasty episode today! but funny. :sick:
But I didn't get to see Family Guy.

GK Punk 06-20-2005 04:05 AM

I liked last nights ep of Family Guy a lot better back when it was an episode of The Simpsons. you know, the one where the kids were taken away and given to The Flanders? yeah.

(And Im not one of those people that say this show is a rip of simpson's, because I don't think it is. I just... don't dig the new eps that much...)

Barkworm 06-20-2005 07:11 AM

I agree that there are episodes that are extremely similar to some older Simpsons eps. I also think that Peter's character was very similar to Homer's in the first two seasons of Family Guy. It never bothered me though because most of those episodes were freaking hilarious.

MrPliggins 06-20-2005 09:41 AM

I started to watch Family Guy last night but didn't finish, and I didn't catch American Dad. The FG episode didn't impress me much. Peter is actually starting to annoy me, alot of the jokes about him being retarded were not all that funny. I got a chuckle out of him in the women's restroom though. I liked it better than last week's episode.
And whats with the firetruck and ambulances? That just left me like "what the hell?" Did I miss something there, or was it supposed to not make sense?

I think it was just supposed to be totally out of the blue, like that Star Wars spoof they did a few episodes ago.. Its supposed to be funny because its so.. RANDOM... *shrugs*

I didn't particularly like this episode...I don't really like Peter at all... I only watch Family Guy because of Stewie and Brian.. that's it.. They are the REASON why the show is funny IMHO.

As for the new episodes.. i dunno.. i mean. i still find myself laughing every two minutes, but I get the feeling that Seth (the creator) is just trying too hard, or is going too overboard or soemthing. Or maybe he's just exhauseted from American Dad too? IMHO i think he hsould just focus on Family Guy, then gradually bring back American Dad when Family Guy ends its run.. kinda like what Groaning wanted to do iwth Futurama and the Simpsons (but never got to do)

Turtledude2k3 07-18-2005 04:56 PM

Family Guy was awesome last night but I have a question..
 
Family Guy was awesome last night.. If you missed this episode.. here's what happened..

Lois is tired of here usually routine things she does and when she in the grocery store about to buy her Groceries, she realized she didn't have enough money to buy everything.. So she takes the ham back and instead of putting it back, she puts in her purse.. Then she suddenly get's a rush from stealing things.. She steals all sort of things.. Instead of calling it a rush, I should call it an Orgasm.. Hehe.. Next thing everyone is wondering where Lois get's all the cool stuff, when Brian realizes somethng is wrong.. So he follows Lois into a auto-part shop where shes stealing a Muffler.. (why is she stealing a muffler??).. He catches her, however she pretends to stop.

During a dinner visit with Joe and his wife, he asks about the picture and the same night, he finds the painting was stolen from a Museum .. Lois was going to take all the stuff she stole but Joe caught her so he takes her to Court..

Let's say after Lois goes in Jail.. It's get funnier..

Here's the great stuff about this episode..

1- Lois tells Chris not to take the milk from the back of the shelf when suddenly he is pulled into this strange world that is a real music video..

2-When explaining Lois about her Stealing, he tells of Peter being helped on about his Fantasy World addiction, which goes to a flashback where Peter is on his stomach with a blanket eating an apple and reading this book.. This is a part from the Neverending Story.. A good 80's movie.. Next thing we see Peter on Falkor the white dragon and the theme from the movie is playing... The dragon tells Peter he's too heavy, however Peter is still cheering when The dragon cou;dn't stand it and he crahsed into the ground..

3-While Lois is in Jail, Peter and the family goes into the jail to visit Lois when Peter caught Quagmire coming out of a jail cell...... Quagmire explains he's having congeturial sex.. next we hear a theme called the Quagmire show.. and he's doing his giggilty gigglity goo thing.. Let's say the whole thing rocks!!

There's too much jokes in this episode to explain but these are the best 3 I like..


My question for you people who watched this episode, what was that music video Brian was in? It's a real music video.... Who sung that song and what song was that?

It was Chris, not Brian.

The video was "Take On Me", probably the greatest song ever peformed by the band Ah-Ha, Chris' reaction afterwards is pricless

"Where were you?"

"I Don't Know" :lol:
