I love this show.

New episode Sunday night on Fox.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

Watched the season premiere on Sunday and just about pissed myself laughing. Family Guy is back and funnier than ever. :D

American Dad was also funny, but not quite as good as Family Guy.

The opening was great... funny how Fox has f'd over a lot of great shows.

I might buy Season 1 & 2. Used to watch it all the time back in 99, when I was in 8th grade. Could do a mean Stewie impression. How's Season 4 stacking up, by the way?

Sunday's show was impressive. I was worried it'd come back half-a$$ed, but they're still right on top. American Dad was less funny--I'm just not that thrilled with it. Though the alien is fabulous.

Well, I bought Seasons 1-3 today. Almost done with season one. I remembered some from when I first watched them, circa 1999. I'm not sure what my favorite episode was--all of them stellar, but I really enjoyed "Brian In Love". Can't wait to get to season 2 and 3, since I haven't seen either season, and I hear that's where they really hit their stride.

Brian: "Oh."

Almost done with Season 2. Can't wait for Season 3! I just love the fact that Adam West is the mayor of Quahog. Watching that extended take of Adam West chewing taffy was great. heh

I'm still annoyed with myself that I forgot Family Guy was on last Sunday. Fortunately, we caught it and American Dad last night. God....I was afraid I was going to blow a hernia laughing so hard at both Family Guy and American Dad.

American Dad is really starting to come into it's own and not be so much of a Family Guy clone, especially with the CIA agent stuff to base a lot of jokes on. The whole memory erasing thing had me dying. :D

Fox pre-empting Family Guy for something else is getting really old, so it was nice to finally see a new episode last night, not to mention American Dad. :D

yeah, all these pre-empts have me worried. obviously, Family Guy is not as important to them as car-racing. :( It was a good episode though. :D

OK....what the hell is going on now?

Last Sunday, they ditched American Dad and showed a new Family Guy episode with a repeat of an old Family Guy episode afterwards. My wife checked TV Guide for this week when we got it in the mail, and they're apparently doing the same thing this Sunday also.

American Dad probably isn't getting good ratings. I know I don't watch it, and I love Family Guy.
