Family Guy: Blue Harvest
 
Ok, who else is excited about Family Guy's season premiere tonight, Blue Harvest. Nothing says joy like an hour long Family Guy that spoofs Star Wars. One can only hope that they do the rest of the series, or at least the original trilogy.

Gah. If you hadn't reminded me I'd have forgotten.

Watched the Comicon promo video on YouTube some while backand thought the clips they showed were pretty funny.

So I'll definately remember to watch it tonight.

Just watched it. It was pretty funny. Honestly I've seen funnier family guys but if you know much of the dialogue from star wars a new hope, it really makes this episode so good.
I thought the best part of the episode was the last minute when Peter and Chris are fighting about Family vs. Robot chicken.:lol:

Drtooth 09-23-2007 09:32 PM

I thought it was pretty funny overall, though they just did the first ...errr fourth film.

Spoiler:
I especially loved the multiple references to Airplane! Including the "Leon's gettin' larger!" gag. Also, the Griswalds from the National Lampoon's vacation films was another delightful bit.

But my favorite was near the end where Chris and Peter argued about Robot Chicken doing a Star Wars episode 3 months earlier...

DrSpengler 09-23-2007 10:09 PM

I felt they spent too much time rotoscoping scenes from the movie and playing them straight-forward, while that time could have been better spent on gags. After the first five minutes the "heheheh they're using actual scenes from the movie!" feeling faded away and it eventually just became annoying.

There were some good gags, but barely an episodes-worth of them...and they were sread across two episodes. Not a good sign.

I did get a good laugh out of the Robot Chicken bit at the end, though.

I must agree, I feel this episode was over hyped. I mean it was a good episode, but I've seen better.

Roseangelo 09-23-2007 10:56 PM

Despite my love for Star Wars, I dislike Family Guy enough so that I turned the TV off when this came on.

Ecto Jedi 09-23-2007 11:10 PM

Well, it was Family Guy, so of course a lot of the jokes felt cheap and tacked-on. Still, it was entertaining hour of television, though I feel I missed a lot of the in-jokes because I've barely ever watched the show.

I thought this episode was hilarious!! When they were going warp and the Dr. Who theme started playing I was totally laughing... course the folks didn't understand why (they've never seen Dr. Who). And I was like "It's the 4th doctor!!" :lol:

The most annoying thing?? Having to explain who the characters were to my step-dad....He's never seen any of the Star Wars movies. :ohwell:

Did you notice the slight cameo by the alien from American Dad in the bar scene? It was a kinda blink and you'll miss it moment. *L*

VaughnMichael 09-24-2007 02:46 AM

yeah Coach McGuirk from the show home movies was in it real fast also in the cantina.:lol:

Drtooth 09-24-2007 07:53 AM

I noticed him too. Yeah, I think that if they had a few more gags about it would have been a better episode. I think they should have condenses all three films into one hour. They could have done it.

I did like the pedophile singing I had the Time of my Life.

And don't forget Bender...he's there too.

Although I'm not a Star Wars fan, I loved this ep. It was funny and a perfect homage to it. I loved Cleveland's line, "That's how we do it in my neighborhood, b*tch!" I also loved Herbert singing "The Time of My Life." That was perfect. I really hope this is a sign of things to come with this season.

The Stryker 09-24-2007 11:48 AM

I didn't really like the episode, I wasn't that funny and dragged on forever.

Every other joke was one of those long rambling jokes and it got real annoying.

Drtooth 09-24-2007 12:37 PM

They gotta stop those rambling jokes..... but the Griswold scene was great. I'm glad Chevy Chase did his own voice, considering they pretty much slaughtered him a few seasons back.

Might have felt long considering it was longer than a normal family guy episode running almost an hour.

You know I wouldn't have know thats what that was unless you said that because I thought it was Mom & Dad save the universe. lol:lol:

Drtooth 09-24-2007 03:31 PM

I'm not a huge National Lampoon Vacation fan... I liked Christmas Vacation and a couple of the other old ones, but it took me a minute to realise what it was supposed to be.

Jester 09-24-2007 04:40 PM

Was anyone else shocked to hear the real Rush Limbaugh?

BubblyShell22 09-24-2007 05:19 PM

I wasn't shocked, but I thought it was funny. I also thought it was funny that there was a Bush/Cheney sticker on the back of the ship.

I was aware it was almost a hour but it felt way longer than that. First Family Guy episode I was really bored by and I'm a Star Wars fan.
