JediFonger · Sep 11, 2006

they're back! the bit with trek always cracks me up.

the thing at the end, was it all in the family? what show did he parody? man seth is very old school. there's so many old shows he was watching while growing up =).

Scott-S · Sep 11, 2006

Yes, I am glad the show is back.

Love the All in the Family parody at the end. Good use of 3d animation.

I dug last night's episode. It's still working quite well and complimented the other three shows on the Fox "Dad" block.

I always love the references that the show makes to older shows, especially cartoons.

JediFonger · Sep 12, 2006

the thing about sulu is wicked funny =).

I had forgotten that Family Guy was back -- but there
it was, waiting for me on my Tivo.

What a excellent start for season five! A hilarious show! My
favorite part was the black guy and kermit the frog.

If this first episode is any indication of what we are in store for,
season five is going tyo be a hoot!

Aaron Silverman · Sep 12, 2006

I thought it was a good, but not great episode. That's still better than most of what's on TV though.

I'm with Ron on the Kermit gag. "It's back the way you came!"

(I think this was the first time I ever enjoyed an episode of American Dad more than the same night's episode of Family Guy. Of course, that was possibly the best episode of American Dad so far.)

JediFonger · Sep 12, 2006

re: kermit? what's that a reference of?

i bet someone could make a website on what FG is making fun of. it's so dense. i don't get EVERYTHING =). i dunno if that's good or bad =.

re: american dad. is it a good show? let me know.

Inspector Hammer! · Sep 12, 2006

It's almost as funny as FG but maybe a notch or two below, I always laugh harder at FG than AD.

The season opener was great lol! But I definitely like angry Stewie better than glingy/loving Stewie. :laugh:

The Muppet Movie.

I have said this before....

I think FG plays perfectly for those of us in our late 30s and up.
This is obviously the age range of the writers of the show. The problem
(as in the case of Kermit above) that the pop culture references are
usually from stuff out of the 70's and end up go over their heads of
younger audiences.

For me, FG is a trip down memory lane. However, I wonder how
many people under the age of 25 got the What's Happening!
reference on the show?!

^according to that, seth is about 33. he must've watched a ton of reruns =).

i did as well. i think the gags have to do with how much TV/pop culture you absorbed while you are growing up. the more you absorb, the more you will laugh. it's got less&less2do with age. i know of a few teens that know more about old school 50s-70's TV shows (due to TV on DVD) than i do. they have to time to catch reruns+DVD.

Abby_B · Sep 13, 2006

glad to see the new season - i just started watching Family Guy, and really like it.

my coworker told me today that they are making a video game of Family Guy. I bet that would be hysterical to play, wouldnt it?

Kevin Hewell · Sep 13, 2006

"How, how, how."

MarkHastings · Sep 13, 2006

Well, Alex is 35 and doesn't she also write a lot for the show?

Aaron Cooke · Sep 14, 2006

I don't know about video game plans but Family Guy is supposed to be the next Pinball game released by stern. Should be out towards the end of this year. Assuming you have anywhere left to play pinball on location in your area. :frowning:

JohnS · Sep 14, 2006

Yah, good first episode for season 5.

my favorite quote was

Stewie: Brian loves Olympia Dukakis!

Brian: OH, yah I do!

ZacharyTait · Sep 14, 2006

"I'm like that Texas woman that brain damaged her son by holding his head underwater.......I'm Barbara Bush!"

I haven't laughed that hard in so long. I had to pause the DVR while I laughed. My roomate heard me and came downstairs to see what was wrong. I rewound it and played it for him and he busted a gut also.

Stop mocking me!

Abby_B · Sep 15, 2006

i did a quick search (i love the internets!) and found this:

i'd actually really like to play that, i think. playing as stewie would rule. some of the screenshots look good too.

Jeff Jacobson · Sep 17, 2006

There is also the American Dad vs. Family Guy Kung Fu fighting game.

StephenA · Sep 17, 2006

I kind of liked tonight's episode. The funniest part to me was when the girl said that the hot dogs being flung at her felt like her dad. I mainly thought it was funny because I didn't expect it
