Family Guy back on FOX
August 09, 2004 at 02:46AM View BBCode
On August 18th and 25th, FOX will air 2 hour 'marathons' of Family guy at 8:00 pm. They're doing it to boost ratings against the Olympics and to preview the revival of the series. Family Guy has come back to prime time:cool:

Not yet. New episodes begin June 2005. These will be 'classic episodes.'

Family guy is awesome. My cousins' have the entire third season on DVD, we watched the whole thing at the beach. It is a great show.

The best episode ever is "I am Peter, hear me roar" of the ones ive seen. It is in season 2, and is incredibly sexist.

Maybe it's just me, I never cared for Family Guy that much. Peter always struck me as a horrible character to base a show around. I hated his character so much that I couldn't stand to bother watching the show... *shrug*

That's a really good one. "Road to Rhode Island" and the "Brian on Coke" episodes are also good.

And Chris has a promising future as a goldfish, if he can only get his grades up.

My favorite episode is the one where he prays for "a Jew"(sorry, don't know the episode name).

Stewie makes the show, he is beyond funny! The thing with Family Guy is it's a different kind of funny than other shows, instead of mildly laughing throughout the entire episode you may sit quietly for 15 minutes then bust out laughing during a really funny scene. It's a show that you watch waiting for that hilarious 30 second clip.My favorite episode is the one where he prays for "a Jew"(sorry, don't know the episode name).

I do remember that one though. He refused to wear the yarmulke? :lol:

That one's "The Weinsteins," or "Remember the Weinsteins" or something like that. If it's the one I'm thinking of, it got them canceled by FOX--not too PC.

yeah Whiskey that's the episode I was talking about. It's my favorite episode. I don't think it ever aired on Fox, the network didn't like the idea of an entire episode consisting of so many steriotypes. Personally I don't think it was an offensive episode at all, it was obvious they were joking and the steriotypes were usually positive. It plays on Cartoon Network though

Yeah, I think it's pretty hypocritical of FOX to try to walk a highroad one minute, then shovel fecal matter like Trading Spouces and The Simple Life 2--to say nothing of (whisper) those paragons of journalism, fair-and-balanced Fox News Channel.

The Simpsons and random sports are the only reason I watch fox. Everything else makes me gag.

I believe the episode is "When You Wish upon a Weinstein." Cartoon Network removed a line from the song so it would be TV friendly. I watched it on DVD, where the line remains, but I didn't catch which one was so bad. Soth Park has episodes that are way more anti-semetic than Family Guy

There it is Hobos. Yeah, I agree South Park is more anti-semitic. I thought FOX was cringing because the show was pretty harsh about Christianity (or was it specifically Catholicism?) as well as Judaism.
