Pretty damned spot-on.

Stewie and Brian were my favorite characters originally.

Last Sunday's episode was interesting in that they took Brian to task for being a liberal douche. They really shit on the animal rights movement too.

MacFarlane is really a liberal douche, though. I am surprised that went through.

Yeah, he is, but it'll be interesting to watch if his shows don't start taking shots at the Dems now that Saturday Night Live is doing it.

Yahoo is starting to post negative front page stories about Obama...and leaving them there for more than 5 minutes.

The Daily Show has been taking some big shots at them. The big clip from the other night wasn't the global warming thing, it was Stewart tearing apart Obama's speech about Afghanistan.

Etc.

Unlike the MSM, who seems to be slowly turning, Hollywood might be more aware of where their paychecks come from and with the polls showing more and more folks turning against the Dems and Obama...well, it'll just be interesting to watch. I don't expect a full swing, but I think you'll see something.

The MSM is thinking they're gonna get a bailout.

I cancelled my Family Guy recording right after that crappy spin-off came out. It helped me realize how little I was enjoying it these days.

I still record American Dad, though.

One of the recent Cleveland Show episodes might have been the worst Seth produced thing ever.

I told the wife prior to watching the first episodes that I was betting he gave Cleveland a spin off so he could make black jokes without being called a racist. It would be hard to argue that I was wrong about that.

Was that the Aunt Mama or the most recent episode? I'll give it till the end of the season to get better. It's just that what they'll have to do to make up for all the horribleness is ... significant. Like Seth might have to send me a few bottles of single malt scotch before I call things square.

Not that they don't make them in Family Guy by making "black guy robbing everyone" jokes every time a black guy shows up.

I still watch it and Cleveland. Mostly cuz I work out 6 hours a week, about 4 of which are on the stationary bike, and I need something mildly entertaining, yet brainless, to watch while I workout.

True, they've always used Cleveland that way. His "replacement" was pretty stereotypical too.

Apparently, there was a pulled episode due to abortion. I don't have the details on that back story.

Anyway, some of the cast got together and did a live read of that script. This is pretty interesting.

I don't get how they did Joe though. Was it a recording or was someone else imitating Patrick Warburton?

It's the second one. Interesting. Pretty good, but just off.

The guy doing Chris is way off.

If you dig that one, here's the 200th episode table read.

Without any sort of googling, I know what that tattoo is that Seth Green is rocking.

I happen to know for a fact Mel Blanc was not a rabbit.

Cancel Bugs Bunny.
