Family Guy
Finally Fox has blessed us with the fourth season of Family Guy.
Too bad it isn’t the Family Guy I love.
The episode, although hilarious, was entirely too political, and its political humor was entirely too one-sided. Aside from Peter going on a crusade against Mel Gibson, dissing Jesus, and the show parodying priests, they ruined Brian forever by uncharacteristically having him read Michael Moore’s, “Dude, Who Stole My Country?”
Hopefully this is a fluke, and the next new episode (next Sunday at 9pm ET) will see a return to the roots. Until then, here are some of the more tolerable and hilarious quotes from Sunday night’s episode:
Stewie: [spanking Chris] And what do you tell the teachers about the bruises if they ask?
Chris: I WAS HIT BY A BASEBALL!! *cries*
Brian: This whole thing has turned his world upside down…face.
Stewie: *Glares at Brian in priceless form*
Lois: Oh my god there is a prostitute on the mattress!
Peter: Stand perfectly still - they’re vision is based on motion…
Prostitute: Hey, where’d you go!?
Peter: Well let us remember, everyone who is against the war is gay!
Politicians (Republicans): I’m not against the war!
Dick Cheney: I was the first one not against the war!
Ah, the gems.

The show being politically to the left is nothing new, there were always blatant undertones. Seth McFarlane has always been pretty outspoken against the radical right. Nothing’s changed.
Comment by John Morrison — May 4, 2005 @ 1:48 amoh and as far as brian’s character being uncharacteristically reading michael moore.
that is definitely not a character break, i dunno where you’ve been.
But they obviously don’t take themselves too seriously… The Family Car has a Kucinich ‘04 Bumper sticker which I thought was hilarious.
Comment by John Morrison — May 4, 2005 @ 1:51 amYeas…Seth McFarland is a funny guy, but a political idiot. I’ve read some interviews with him that are mind boggling. There were a lot of lefty undertones that started to sneak in during Season Three after Bush won the election. A lot of lefties lost thier senses on humor after that.
The puzzling this is that McFarland narrowly missed death on September 11th (he had a ticket for one of the Boston flights but missed the plane), and that wasn’t even enough to shock him into reality.
Hopefully, he’ll TRY to keep appealing to everybody. I love the show but hate the trend of singling out one side over the other. It’s entertainment, not a talk show.

Comment by Pete Cipriano — May 4, 2005 @ 1:27 pmi dunno it’s his show, his soapbox and place to do what he wants. if you don’t like it and want to judge him and pick it apart for every little bit, do yourself a favor and just don’t watch it. I’d rather he be who he wants to be, and do what he wants, than try to conform and try to please a target audience, whenever that happens the quality on anything goes downhill fast.
Comment by John Morrison — May 8, 2005 @ 1:53 amThe point is, in the first season the show was an equal-opprotunity offender and as such, a hell of a lot funnier.
I like the show, so I will keep watching - I just wish I didn’t have to cringe so much.
