Family Guy

[Cheesebeef]

I wasn't a big fan of this show until I started watching the reruns on the cartoon network - but man it is brilliant - and now because of record DVD sales, it might be coming back. Here's the link with the story:

As the Kool-Aid man says: OH YEAH! (btw - their use of the Kool-aid man in one episode still ranks as the single funniest thing I have ever seen on TV)

 

[mdamien13]

Yes!!!!!!

Favorite episode? Mine would have to be the one where Peter founds his own country and annexes his best friend's pool. Also, the one with Lois's piano recital rivalry and the Pawtucket brewery tour (done to spoof Willie Wonka)

Cheesie, wasn't the Kool Aid man in the first episode?

I believe it was in the pilot... but I'm not positive. Nevertheless, I love that show.

My favorite character is a toss up between Stewie and Peter, although im sure they are everyone's favorites.

'I'll have some cake but NO SPRINKLES! For every sprinkle I find... I shall kill you.'

Gold... pure gold.

I don't know - I actually have never even seen the entire episode - unless it is the one where Ted Turner is found to be having sex with either dogs or cats - I don't know. I just remember getting the clip sent to me in an e-mail about a year and half ago and I was rolling - whenever I was having a bad day I would click on that sucker and instantly I would be dying - Sploosh, Sploosh! The look on the Kool-Aid man's face was so freaking hysterical. That one bit completely turned me on to the show and now I don't miss an episode on reruns.

Personally - my favorite episode is the one FOX wouldn't let them air about Peter trying to convert his son to Judaism - I have never seen something so outrageous and ridiculous and hysterically offensive on TV. The one where he creates his own country is priceless also.

I just hope they are able to bring the same writers back - I know Ricky Blitt was a huge contributor and since then he has become a really hot writer out here - it'll be interesting to see if he comes back as exec. producer or writer.

I thought seth macfarlane did all the writing... perhaps I was mistaken.

he was the show creators and exec producer and a writer - but on TV shows there are always tons of writers on board.

Doesn't he see Optimus Prime at a bar mitzvah or something in that one? I only saw it once and I was slightly inebriated at the time.

the episode where peter finds out his son's has a bigger dick than he does is hilarious. that koolaid man was probably the funniest scene in the first season. favorite character has to be brian, he is hilarious cause he has more common sense than the entire family.

Best.......Show.........Ever!


I love the episode where Peter gets the plastic surgery.

"Hey look, it's just a fat kid. Come here, look at fatty fat fat."

 

[CardinalMike]

I like Family Guy more now then I did when it was on TV. I had to d/l tv-rips of all 3 seasons to get my fix, I'm glad now that I can just go buy the DVDs.

FOX Finally Airs Controversial 'Family Guy' Episode

(Monday, November 22 09:06 AM)
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com)

Although Cartoon Network and TBS viewers have already had the chance to see the controversial "Family Guy" episode "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein," FOX has finally decided to give the long-shelved half-hour its primetime broadcast premiere.

"Weinstein" will air on Friday, Dec. 10 as part of a holiday-themed special hour of "The Family Guy" on FOX.

It's unclear if FOX intends "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein" to serve as a tribute to the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah, which begins at sundown on Tuesday, Dec. 7.

In the episode, originally slated to run as part of the cult animated series' third season, Peter Griffin's (voiced by creator Seth MacFarlane) unfortunate purchase of volcano insurance leads the family to the brink of poverty. Financial advisor Max Weinstein (Ben Stein) appears to be the answer to all of Peter's prayers and he's soon convinced that his son Chris (Seth Green) would be guaranteed a life of success if he could only convert to Judaism. Peter whisks Chris off to Las Vegas for a quickie bar mitzvah and hilarity ensues.
Due to the sensitive nature of some of the jokes in the episode, FOX put "Weinstein" on the shelf and never aired the episode. With much hoopla, Cartoon Network screened the episode on Nov. 9, 2003 and the show has aired several times since as part of the cable channel's popular Adult Swim block.

Cartoon Network only made one minor change from the version produced for FOX. In the song, "I Need a Jew," Peter originally sang the satirical lyric "Even though they killed our Lord," which has been changed to "I don't think they killed our Lord."

The Dec. 10 hour will also feature "A Very Special Family Guy Freakin' Christmas," a third season episode featuring vocal cameos by the members of KISS.

FOX cancelled "Family Guy" in 2002 after three seasons of schedule-hopping hilarity. However, the show's success on Cartoon Network and the brisk sales of "Family Guy" DVDs prompted the network to order a new season of episodes to premiere in the summer of 2005. "American Dad," a new comedy from MacFarlane, will premiere sometime early next year on FOX.

Favorite show, I just bought the DVD's


"Hey look, he's just a fat kid, fatty fat fat, hehe, fat kid, here have a candy bar, fatty."

My favorite is where death comes to kill peter because he faked dead to get out of paying for a hospital bill. The voice for Death is so funny. "I'll be back very soon!......ha...ha, is he joking!? ha...ha"

 

[HeavyB3]

Summer of 05???

I thought the new episodes were coming in january
boooo!!!

 

[green machine]

I heard January of 05...that's not true? I was planning a Family Guy party and everthing!

 

[Pariah]

The voice for Death is so funny. "I'll be back very soon!......ha...ha, is he joking!? ha...ha"

That one was just on last week, I think. Death has been in two episodes. The first one--the one you're reffering to--is voiced by Norm McDonald. He's hillarious. The second time Death is on, I think he's voiced by Adam Corrolla. Also, a very funny guy.

There was one scene recently (I can't remember which episode) says "I can't go back to dating!" and then falshes back to him on the Dating Game where he's bachelor #3. The woman asks, "If I were an ice cream cone, what would you do?" The first two bachelors make thinly veiled sexual references, but peter doesn't veil his at al, he just says: "I'd eat you really fast so I don't go flacid."

What a riot.

...In fact, I don't even know who this "louis" character is....

but, seriously, I haven't seen that episode but i just saw this scene (and the whole episosde it was in) this week. I Tivo them and sometimes I watch a bunch at a time; they all run together for me.
