Friendly reminder: FAMILY GUY returns tonite!

Do you mean this:

No. In the episode he’s talking about Nigel says something about how he feels awkward, Peter then says “Oh yeah, once in bed I called Lois Frank. Your move Sherlock.”

IMHO…

Family Guy: Still got it. Maybe not the most excellent Family Guy ep ever, but still very good. :cool: And, according to TV Tome, that was actually Bill Ratner doing Flint’s voice, probably for the last time. Double “:cool:

American Dad (aka “I hate Republicans…Republicans are so stupid…I hate Republicans…”): Still pretty lame. Slightly funnier than the sneak preview, though.

And I watched two new episodes of the Simpsons, for the first time in about a year. The funniest part was watching Steven Hawking, playing himself, calmly describing the gravitational lens caused by a microsingularity. [pause] Yeah.

Remember what happens to Pinnochio when he lies? And notice how Gepetto was standing?

Just Curious. Does your father normally watch the show, or is this the first time?

If the latter, then the series may not be his sort of humor, but if the former, that would say something.

By Ganymede, I think I just punctured my right diaphragm.

The “Posh British Porn” was the best.

“You know, dear, we could have sexual intercourse right now.”

“Yes. Yes we could.”

“But let’s not.”

I laughed so hard it hurt, and I’m not even sure why. You know it’s good.

Ha! That reminded me of the drive to the honeymoon spot:

“I feel like prepping my diaphragm right now!”

“Yeah. Gross.”

Diaphragms easily have the most comic potential of all the available b.c. options – and that’s saying something where the second banana is basically a greasy balloon.

I can’t remember the last time I laughed so hard watching TV. Seriously.

I thought that was one of the funniest gags in the history of network TV.

“You know, if you told me you didn’t take the cookie, I probably wouldn’t be upset.”

I dunno, I thought the Spring Break episode where Lois basically hinted to Meg that Meg was concieved because Lois didn’t know that taking antibiotics while on the Pill would cancel out the Pill.

Not the best episode, but still a good one. I think that it’s going to take a while to get back into their characters.

The didn’t mention my favorite canceled Fox shows, The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. or Get a Life.

(At least Arrested Development wasn’t on the list.)

When Peter mentioned “Greg the Bunny,” I was expecting Chris (aka Seth Green) to say, “Oh, but I really liked that show.” Or better yet, “Man, that show really sucked!”

Oh well, Seth, you blew your chance.

That whole scene where they were driving out to the Cape was so funny. I don’t know if I laughed harder when he woke Lois up by jostling the car or when he was reading a Jughead comic (with hysterical commentary). Oh, I know, it was when he started reading Jughead again after the accident.

Okay, there are a lot of inside jokes on that show that I get because of where I work and live, but that could have been a scene from my marriage.

That Geppeto joke was awful. Geppetto is supposed to be Pinocchios father… He may not be a real boy yet but that is the relationship between the two. Sorry but the so called gag isn’t funny at all, unless of course, you really think child molestation jokes are a hoot.

The rest of the episode did have me laughing though.

I think they only included shows that began after Family Guy and ended before its return.

Otherwise the list of cancelled Fox shows would have been a HECK OF A LOT longer! :smiley:

And I too was worried about Arrested Development being on the list. Wouldn’t that have been a cruel (and FUNNY) way to announce its cancellation!?

I wasn’t thrilled with the Geppeto joke either. Loved the Jughead comic. Felt a bit sad when Firefly was mentioned.

Not only are child molestation jokes SOMETIMES a hoot (*), the fact that someone has the gall to tell one on a major network in primetime makes it that much funnier.

That said, gepetto is not Pinocchio’s father. Pinocchio is a puppet.

(*) Who was that comedian who used to joke, “My brother and do a lot of work with kids. . .it’s my job to lure them into the van.”

Yeah, but Pinocchio regarded Gepetto as his father, even though there was (naturally) no biological relationship. So that would make him a surrogate father, I suppose.

Technically, there were two pedophile jokes in the episode. Pinocchio and the old pervert dressed up like a kid at the dance.

Both were funny! :slight_smile:

What was missing? Quagmyre, Cleveland and Joe. And they could have hit us with a little Mayor West while they were at it.

Also, wouldn’t it have been funnier to put the black bar over Tucker’s kid’s mouth on the newscast?

All in all, a very average episode of FG. It may have suffered a bit from heightened expectations. I was hoping for a homerun the first night out, but I got stand-up double. I’ll take it.

Hmmm…

That’s right, you bad boy, with your arms all a rippling with muscles, and the perspiration beading on your brow. That’s what I’m talking about. Yeah.
