Family Guy - The Official Thread

[dotdotdot]

This is officially the official thread of the officially greatest show on official television. I use official a lot.

Season 4 is out now, new episodes on sundays on FOX.

This is the OFFICIAL season 4 and Family guy thread, where you can use jokes, comment on episodes, and more...

[eva01]

starts on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim on June 3rd i believe

i watch them all the time, own all the DVDs and for some reason whenever i am drunk i watch family guy :P

[AliensAreFuzzy]

I loved the Pinochio part of the first episode.

[clayj]

I loved the Pinochio part of the first episode.I loved Stewie's line: "Ahhh... it's good to own land." And Peter's opening bit with all of the shows that have come and gone since Family Guy was "canceled".

[killuminati]

I liked from the last episode when Stewie said to Louis:

Well, whatever helps you sleep at night b*tch.

And

Peter: i wish I was a tampon....Now....we play the waiting game. :p

[dotdotdot]

My favorite is now, from the second episode, Fast Times at Buddy Cianci Jr. High, "Yeah whatever helps you sleep at night, bitch" or whatever from stewie.

[Mr. Durden]

I liked from the last episode when Stewie said to Louis:

Well, whatever helps you sleep at night b*tch.

And

Peter: i wish I was a tampon....Now....we play the waiting game. :p

I was laughing out loud at the tampon joke too. And when Stewie blew a blood vessle in his eye trying to fart... awesome. I've got it on TiVo, and might just have to watch it again. Man am I glad this show is back.

[AppleAce]

Yeah, the 2 things I busted out laughing at in that episode were when Stewie blew the blood vessel in his eye and the "Watch out for the stairs!"

[dotdotdot]

Also...

"AHHHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHHH! LOIS!!! This isn't my batman cup!"

[freiheit]

As an avid Family Guy viewer since it first aired (and was cancelled, then brought back, then cancelled, then brought back and finally rescheduled, then cancelled...) I have to say ep 402 was one of the worst. Family Guy (like the earlier years of The Simpsons) was always good at using over-the-top, crude humor to make an intelligent point and sometimes to use intelligent humor to make a crude point. 402 used primarily crude humor to make crude points -- I felt like I was watching South Park. 401 was one of the best, so there's still hope for this fourth season and I will watch every episode. Thanks to the many, many people who bought the DVDs and showed Fox that the show IS popular and just needed a stable time slot to prove it.

You know, it's funny, I kind of thought the same thing after watching it too - it just seemed a little more crass than usual, and not as tastefully done - but yet in the end, I still laughed my ass off! It's still one of my favorite shows and I'll be watching every episode without a doubt. :cool:

[puckhead193]

my favorite joke so far is when brain goes "is their anything lower on this remote then mute" I forgot what season it is from, buts one of the older ones...
my favorite episode is the one that was banned "i need a weinstein"

[Phat_Pat]

hahahaha when peter made the water slide down the stairs hahahahahahaha



Do you have any idea what time it is!? Go to bed Fatty!


and the bitch line.... of course.


This is my favorite show of all time. :D :cool:

[puckhead193]

reading this thread made me wish i didn't pack up my family guy DVD's (i'm leaving to go home from school tomarrow yay :D )

[killuminati]

my favorite episode is the one that was banned "i need a weinstein"

I wish upon a Weinstein! That episode is one of my all time favourites. Just hilarious, I don't see why it was banned.

[Nermal]

I thought the funniest bits were the bear in the oatmeal, and the teacher falling down the stairs :D

[~Shard~]

I wish upon a Weinstein! That episode is one of my all time favourites. Just hilarious, I don't see why it was banned.

Optimus Prime is Jewish?!?

[Lacero]

I love the part where the substitute teacher gave Chris his grades and asked him to read what he saw. He said two Ds and an F. That was hilarious!

[~Shard~]

I love the part where the substitute teacher gave Chris his grades and asked him to read what he saw. He said two Ds and an F. That was hilarious!

I thought it was "2 'E's and an 'F'", but maybe my hearing is going - I was too busy staring at her chest.... ;) :cool:

[mad jew]

Man I love this show! I just wish Australia had it on free-to-air TV. These DVDs are getting expensive. :(

[iSaint]

The opening that was like Law & Order was great, then the rest only got better. It's good to have the family back!

[hcuar]

I thought overall the last episode (402 I believe) was one of the weakest Family Guy episodes ever! No world domination plot by Stewie? What's up with that? No attempts at the life of the wife? Huh? What's up with that? :rolleyes:

[AnewMac]

The last one was chalk full of funny jokes that made me laugh out loud! Anyone know what kind of ratings they are pulling since they have been back?

[Sutekidane]

AHHH, I missed the 2nd episode, I had to work that night. I hope I can find it somewhere..

[mactastic]

my favorite joke so far is when brain goes "is their anything lower on this remote then mute" I forgot what season it is from, buts one of the older ones...
my favorite episode is the one that was banned "i need a weinstein"

Reminds me of the dog show episode where Brian is introduced as 'Brain Griffin'.
;)

[jelloshotsrule]

peter says to the hot substitute....

paraphrased from memory

"hmm how to put it...." pauses trying to find the right words. "our son chris... wants to... plow you"

and after he and lois leave the teacher's office initially, peter returns and says,

"ms. whatever, i don't mean to impose but, do you have a picture of yourself that i can tape to the back of lois's head?"


haha. stellar....

[rockthecasbah]

In the cheesy charlies episode, Peter is like "aw man brian im screwed. All i could get on such short notice was a cake and this big ass piniata" (image of Piniata shaped like a behind appears) Brian then says "I hope candy comes out of that!"

Family Guy is my life...I can do all the voices perfectly, i entertain many with my exact impressions ;) .

[jimsowden]

Also...

"AHHHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHHH! LOIS!!! This isn't my batman cup!"
Jeez, i hate when people butcher lines. Don't put quotes if you don't know what he said.
"Wo, wo, wo, wo, wo, wo, wo, wo, wo, wo, wo, wo. Lois this is not my Batman glass."

I think one of my favorite lines was:
"You know what I hate? A guy in a blue suit."
"Gullll"
"Theres one right behind me, isn't there."

[~Shard~]

Jeez, i hate when people butcher lines. Don't put quotes if you don't know what he said.
"Wo, wo, wo, wo, wo, wo, wo, wo, wo, wo, wo, wo. Lois this is no my Batman glass."

And here all this time I thought Peter actually said, "Lois this is not my Batman glass", instead of "Lois this is no my Batman glass" - but since you quoted it, you must know what he said... :p :cool:

Like you said, don't use quotes if you don't know what was said. :p

[jimsowden]

And here all this time I thought Peter actually said, "Lois this is not my Batman glass", instead of "Lois this is no my Batman glass" - but since you quoted it, you must know what he said... :p :cool:

Damn, typo got me. But at least i knew exactly what he said.

[dotdotdot]

Damn, typo got me. But at least i knew exactly what he said.

Eh whatever... I just watched it then thats why...

Anyway, another quote:

Meg: "I finally get my drivers lisence, and mom bets the car. How ironic."
Peter: "HEY HEY! Your mother is NOT an I-RON."

[~Shard~]

Damn, typo got me. But at least i knew exactly what he said.

Heh heh, I know - just having some fun with ya. It's what I do. ;)

[Phat_Pat]

Heh... next episode looks damn funny. May be offensive to some tho.... but when is this show not?

[AliensAreFuzzy]

I loved the one in "Wasted Talent" when Peter's a kid and at the Museum:
"Why did all the dinosaurs die out?"
"Because you touch yourself at night."
(Peter looks down, full of guilt)

[killuminati]

I loved the one in "Wasted Talent" when Peter's a kid and at the Museum:

haha that was hilarious. After that episode aired, everytime someone in my school asked a question someone would respond with "because you touch yourself at night."

[puckhead193]

i was watching the DVD's on the ferry (new london CT -> Orient point Long island) and someone next to me like family guy to.... although he didn't seem like your typical viewer of the show. He told me that he notice, in the opening when it goes "...laugh and cry..." they sometimes instead of laugh say the "f word" but i watch some of the openings and didn't catch any, anyone herd this. i think he was making it up.

[~Shard~]

That's a classic one! And thanks for linking that quote to that episode, I could never remember which episode that one came from. ;) That's the problem with the Family Guy, they always have so many of those hilarious "Remember the time when..." scenes that are completely unrelated to the story, and it's tough to remember which episodes they're from! :cool:

[buryyourbrideau]

i dont know if anyone remembers or not, or i might just be wrong but in the episode where peter crashes the car into the satellite and they are in the DMV, he says something to meg...i believe it was" Meg, are you implying that Rosie o'donnell does not know how to drive?" ok seriously you might all think that one liner is retarded but i doubt i have ever laughed that hard in my life :o

[~Shard~]

Heh... next episode looks damn funny. May be offensive to some tho.... but when is this show not?


Heh heh - looks like another winner! Can't wait...

[MacNut]

My favorite episode is "To Live And Die in Dixie" Hello Ms Griffin, This is the FBI calling from your house, Listen promise you wont be mad and its probably nothing but that criminal might know where you are. Then Peter calls himself being the sheriff. :p

You can call me Officer TJ Hooker Sheriff officer TJ hooker and this is my depody Mcmillan and wife.

[Nermal]

Yep, I know the one :D

Meg: Dad, we can't leave now, my entire life depends on getting my licence. If I can't drive, I'll never have any boyfriends, I'll never get married, and then I'll have to adopt a kid like Rosie O'Donnell!

Peter: Meg, are you implying that Rosie O'Donnell can't drive?

[buryyourbrideau]

Yep, I know the one :D

Meg: Dad, we can't leave now, my entire life depends on getting my licence. If I can't drive, I'll never have any boyfriends, I'll never get married, and then I'll have to adopt a kid like Rosie O'Donnell!

Peter: Meg, are you implying that Rosie O'Donnell can't drive?


YES!!! I LOVE IT

best ever :D

[~Shard~]

One of my other all-time favorite Peter quotes is:

Chris: "Dad, what's a blow hole for?"
Peter: "Well son, I'll tell you what it's NOT for - and then you'll know when Dad can never go back to SeaWorld."

Anyone remember which episode this is from?

[MacNut]

In "I Am Peter Hear Me Roar." Peter decides to breast feed Stewie. :p

I think what he is talking about is that in some of the earlier episodes, it sounds like Stewie says "F'n cry" as opposed to "laugh'n cry". I'm not sure why, but in the later episodes it is more more clearly "laugh'n cry".

[clayj]

I think what he is talking about is that in some of the earlier episodes, it sounds like Stewie says "F'n cry" as opposed to "laugh'n cry". I'm not sure why, but in the later episodes it is more more clearly "laugh'n cry".In the closed captioning of the early episodes (on TV, not sure about the subtitling on the DVDs), it's clearly captioned as "f'in cry". Later on, it was changed to "laugh and cry". I'm sure that Seth wanted it to be vague enough to get away with Stewie swearing in the title sequence, but the captioning gave it away.

I love family guy. I made this .gif a week ago of the 1st episode from the new season.

yeah how is it? I still have over an hour before it come one here... actually 2 hours :eek:

[James Philp]

Recently got all three seasons on DVD from HMV (running an offer - £12.99 per season). Love it!
But isn't loise spelt Lois? (Peter (Drunk: "You can't spell Lois without silo!")

EDIT: It seems so! (http://www.familyguyquotes.com/characters/lois-griffin-quotes.html)
Sorry to nit-pik - but when i see Loise I think "Low-ease"

[~Shard~]

Yes, it it Lois, he just made a spelling mistake. ;)

I bought all the DVD when they first came out - they're worth owning IMO. And when the 4th season comes out eventually, I'll buy that as well - this is a series I'm proud to own. (That, and Harvey Birdman.) :cool:

[dotdotdot]

Tonights episode was... ok...

But Joe and Cleveland and their families and Quagmire are back!! And so is [SPOILER, highlight]
THE EVIL CHICKEN WHO GETS INTO THE SAME 10 MINUTE LONG FIGHT!!!

It was a good episode

[killuminati]

The only DVDs I own are Seinfeld and 24. I think I should add family guy to that collection.

[~Shard~]

yeah how is it? I still have over an hour before it come one here... actually 2 hours :eek:

Like I said, I enjoyed it. One of my favorite lines was Tom Tucker: "Coming up, Diane's weight."

But the highlight for me was the return of the evil chicken - what made it even better was that it was completely out of nowhere! That original 10-minute long fight from the NYE episode was one of my all-time favorite segments, and this was a great one too. :cool:

[~Shard~]

The only DVDs I own are Seinfeld and 24. I think I should add family guy to that collection.

Definitely worth it my friend! It's one of those shows that I can't seem to get tired of watching, and I laugh no matter how many times I've seen an episode.

[James Philp]

The only DVDs I own are Seinfeld and 24. I think I should add family guy to that collection.
If you're that sort, Futurama DVDs are GREAT! Commentary on EVERY episode. 22 or so episodes in each season - that's a lot of time. The commentaries are actually good too!

[~Shard~]

If you're that sort, Futurama DVDs are GREAT! Commentary on EVERY episode. 22 or so episodes in each season - that's a lot of time. The commentaries are actually good too!

I currently have all the Futuramas in MPG/AVI format archived on DVDs, but yeah, the actual DVD collection with all the commentary would definitely be worth having as well.

[Deefuzz]

Any thoughts yet on tonight's episode? I gotta say I loved it just as the others so far this season...

Agreed!

The revisit of Peter vs the giant chicken was hilarious.

I also thought the Keebler elves vs the Rice Krispie guys was pretty funny too.

[dotdotdot]

I also loved how he came back and just continued where he left off.

I know, for gods sake already have the damn baby! Shes been pregnant since season 1.

Anyone else disappointed in the new episodes? They're rerunning a lot of old jokes, and it just isn't the same as it was before.

[MattG]

Anyone else disappointed in the new episodes? They're rerunning a lot of old jokes, and it just isn't the same as it was before.
Nah, I think they've been just as funny as the old ones...tonight's was great. The baby joke, the chicken fight, the Keebler elves, Stewie tripping Peter, etc. And Quagmire's back!!! GIGGITY GIGGITY GIGGITY!

[~Shard~]

[~Shard~]

I know, for gods sake already have the damn baby! Shes been pregnant since season 1.

I think it's the similar argument for why Maggie is still a baby after 15 years on the Simpsons...

[~Shard~]

Anyone else disappointed in the new episodes? They're rerunning a lot of old jokes, and it just isn't the same as it was before.

Not at all, I think they're great! Perhaps you just had your expectations set too high. Before the series returned I said to myself, "All I want is for them not to change a thing - the show was perfect the way it was." And that's pretty much what they did, God bless 'em! The new season has been great so far. :cool:

[~Shard~]

Oh, and here's the scoop on next week's episode...

[xli_ne]

American Dad was the best it has been too this week. Hopefully they will keep getting better.

Well, it is Fox... :p

[MacNut]

Here are some tidbits.

The Simpsons ratings were down about 20% from last week's 350th episode double, still scoring a solid figure of 9.2 million viewers over the course of the hour in which the episodes A Star Is Torn and Thank God It's Doomsday aired. At 9pm, Fox showed it made the right decision on bringing back Family Guy, the second episode for the fourth season, although down on last week, scored 9.7 million viewers. The show has outrated The Simpsons in the last two weeks. American Dad at 9:30 had just 18% of its Family Guy lead in tuning out, 8.2 million people tuning in overall.

Season 16 ended on Sunday night with two new episodes, 'Home Away From Homer,' and 'The Father, The Son, & The Holy Guest Star.' In what was one of Fox's last few hopes of increasing its performance in the May sweeps, an average of 8.7 million viewers watched The Simpsons over the 8pm hour, down on the previous two weeks. The big result was Family Guy's huge figure of 9.3 million viewers, and the Simpson-nearing figure of 8.1 million viewers for American Dad. The night was a big one for all networks, with CBS airing the finale of Survivor Palau and ABC with the unstoppable Desperate Housewives. While 20 million people tuned into Survivor, ABC came home with the win overall for the night, with NBC and FOX sitting at third and fourth place respectively

Why is Family Guy taking a two week break!? This is EXACTLY why it was cancelled - Fox, keep a freakin TIME SLOT!

[MacNut]

I don't see Fox canceling Family Guy, Not while its beating The Simpsons in the ratings.

[~Shard~]

I don't see Fox canceling Family Guy, Not while its beating The Simpsons in the ratings.

I agree - Family Guy is going to be around for a while this time. :cool: And thanks for all the statistics MacNut, good to see Fox made the right decision.

Does anyone even watch The Simpsons anymore? I quit watching after about Season 7 when they started to get really weak. Season 3-6 were the best seasons in my mind, hands down. :cool:

[Lacero]

Simpsons is starting to lose its appeal, finally..lol I watched the last episode about a medieval school play, and it wasn't very good. They are running out of jokes and quickly too. There's just so much anyone could take of Homer's antics. However, the whole ribbing on Catholicism was very funny though.

[~Shard~]

Like I said, Simpsons haven't been the same for a long time, nothing like when Conoan O'Brien was producing, etc. I tune into an epsiode now and then, and it just doesn't do it for me - I find myself rolling my eyes or getting annoyed more than anything at the re-hashed, unoriginal plots and jokes. Homer isn't funny anymore. In a word, LAME.

The Simpsons should have learned the lesson that it's always best to leave on a high note - and they should have learned it about 10 years ago. :cool:

[MacNut]

I believe that The Simpsons cast is signed through 2009 so who knows how long they go, I think they are after the longest running sitcom mark of all time, To reach it they will need to go at least 3 more years.

[MacNut]

Family Guy will return next season,

This is Fox's fall lineup:
Sunday

7 p.m. - cartoon reruns

7:30 p.m. - "King of the Hill"

8 p.m. - "The Simpsons"

8:30 p.m. - "The War at Home"

9 p.m. - "Family Guy"

9:30 p.m. - "American Dad"

Meh, I could care less at this stage. Maybe they'll get the "longest" record, but not the "best". They basically screwed themselves out of that one by dragging out the show for so long... not that Simpsons was ever the "best", but back in the day is was pretty damn good...

Family Guy will return after 2 weeks off with 7 all new episodes in a row starting June 5.

Yep, I've been looking forward to it these past couple of weeks. It was fun to watch the fight scene with the chicken again though this past Sunday on the repeat, that never gets old... :cool:

Did anyone else just not find last nights episode to be very funny? The Horatio Sanz joke was kinda funny, but otherwise...eh.

I, for the last two episode's, have found american dad better than family guy. They need more stewie in the new episodes

[killuminati]

I liked when the camera guy looked at meg then doused himself in gasoline light himself on fire and jumped out a window. I actually laughed out loud at that.

But overall it seems like they're missing something. I still watch because its entertaining but its not nearly as funny.

I agree! I didn't like it at first, but it's really starting to grow on me.

[wwooden]

Last night was the first time I really laughed at American Dad. Some of the jokes like when they wanted the daughter to say grace, but she said something like she wasn't religious and then what the brother said ;). Or when they were trying to decide if the alien was dead and they stabbed his eye. I think they are starting to figure out those characters and the humor for each one. It doesn't seem like they are using the talking fish much anymore though, not that removing it was a bad decision, they already have another talking animal on a different show.

Ya i dont even know if they have given that fish a name or not. He is the weakest character by far.

[chewbaccapits]

Just wanted to let you guys know that Family and American Dad have both been extend for another season... 22 for Family Guy and 18 for American Dad. But, let me say a little about yesterday episode, American Dad was ok and Family Guy was just as good...American Dad made me sleep by the 2/3 act, so, that doesn't say much for the episode...Future Family guys will be better and,of course, some will standout more than others but some of your guys' remarks make it seems that Family Guy is just not funny anymore...what the hell do you want? It's already one of the funniest show on TV, bar none! I've seen previous season's episode and they were funny, and they were good but, honestly, the stuff in the pipeline is awesome....As I've been saying since OCT. of last year, this season will blow up..It is hell of funny and just classic material.....Sperm dumpster....Come on!

I loved when Peter beat up Jimmy Fallon then said, ok where is the guy that had sex with my daughter. :p

agreed. sorry to all those Jimmy Fallon fans out there, but for the group of 5 or 6 people, fallon sucks.

I loved:

Brian and Stewies part of the song, something like, STEWIE:"I wanna have in-ter-course with you, in-ter-course with you, in-ter-course" BRIAN: "Relations!"

AND

When Peter, Joe, Quagmire and Cleveland were singing that song, I guess its called Journey, and then all these people come to the bar. But one scene, these people are carying out a coffin from a funeral home and the dead guys wife is there crying, and the people drop the coffin and run saying "Thats Journey!" and the casket opens and the wife is like, "WHY!? Why!? - Wait, that IS Journey!" and runs!!

I was laughing out loud at that joke.

TRANSCRIPT:

Stewie: I want to have in-ter-course with you. Uh. ooh. yeah. In-ter-course with you.

Brian: Relations!

Stewie: In-ter-course with you. Hoo hoo hoo. Right?

Brian: Yeah, no great. That sounds good.

Stewie: Alright! Alright. Groovy, groovy. [pauses] Now is there a shorter word for intercourse?

[Phat_Pat]

I don't remember that?

Neil Armstrong is shown being filmed on a set. The man yells cut. He walks outside and is putting stuff in his car.

Some guy walks up to neil and says "Hey i just saw you on the moon..." and starts questioning him.
Neil starts making excussing (time delay solarwinds...) and then just suddenly hits him. (I don't remember if it was with his helmat but i think i remember him breaking the helmets glass on the guys face.)

Neil then dumps the guy's body into his trunk.


iono i probably got some of the facts wrong but all i know is it made me laugh :D

[~Shard~]

I found the recent episode to be just as funny as the other Family Guy's this season, I think some people are having too high expectations. Sure, maybe some of the episodes haven't been as funny as the funniest episodes from the previous years, but as another poster said, come on, what do you want! Even if these episodes aren't quite as funny, it's all relative, and they're still pretty damn funny! It's still a great show and I'll be enjoying every episode until Fox cancels it again. ;)

[jelloshotsrule]

i watched this weeks' family guy finally... i thought it was great!

sperm dumpster, lighting themselves on fire, the song by stewie and brian, the fallon stuff... all great.

i'll watch american dad tonight. i've found it to be getting progressively better, increasing the number of great gags on it from 0 in the first episode (from memory... was a long time ago), to 3-4 in the last episode i saw. i'm hopeful that it will find its rhythm and keep getting stronger.

[~Shard~]

I have never actually seen an episode of American Dad. A friend watched the very first show, said it sucked, and I never got into it as a result. I was half-serious about tuning in and giving it a second chance before Family Guy was resurected, but after I realized that was the case, I said "Why bother!" and decided just to hold out for "the good stuff". ;)

But, it seems to be not that bad, and getting better, so maybe I'll have to check it out one of these weeks...

[jelloshotsrule]

the key to remember about both family guy stuff that people aren't liking as much, and also american dad, is that it's still better/funnier than most stuff on tv. and to me, it's by far worth watching each week.

so while you may not cry with laughter at each episode, it's better than watching most other things.

whats the thoughts on the new episode last night? I dont know about Cleveland being a bachelor for the rest of the season (if they leave it like that) but the episode was pretty classic. Had some good lines that I can't remember right now. They will come to me though :D

I loved the Rocky 3 ending!

[MacNut]

The Annika Sorenstam joke was classic. Look everyone, She's a fraud.

[~Shard~]

I really enjoyed it as well. I still have to say my favorite episode of the entire year so far was last week's (so many good jokes in that one!) but this one was great as well. You can't really go too wrong when you're talking about Family Guy! :cool:

[dejo]

I thought the best part of last night's episode was Peter doing "Rock Lobster" with his acoustic guitar!

[loib]

or when Lois pulls down her pants and the awkward silence that follows

[MacNut]

Stewie says, I wanna touch his hair, oo it feels like a sheep.

[kolache]

I liked the "You've Got AIDS" song.

[xli_ne]

or when Lois pulls down her pants and the awkward silence that follows

Then Brian slaps her on the ass. Yes, that was indeed a classic moment.

[dotdotdot]

This episode was definitely the best this season.

[~Shard~]

This episode was definitely the best this season.

It was really good, but for some reaosn I still found the previous episode to be the best of the season. Ah well, it's tough to compare episodes of such a perfect show. ;)

One of my favorite lines from this one was after Peter crashes the Petercopter and the HindenPeter, and Joe says, "How do you afford these things?!?!". :D

[Lacero]

"Take that! Randy 'Macho Man" Savage"

[~Shard~]

Don't forget, Peter also owns the boat on which Joe fell overboard. Peterliner?

Ah yes, that was classic as well. Poor Joe.... ;)

[MacNut]

When Joe falls overboard and Peter says kick Joe kick.

[MattG]

The "You've Got AIDS" thing...I don't think I've ever laughed so hard at something I knew I shouldn't have been laughing at :D

[dotdotdot]

A new week, a new episode!

I missed it but I know that Stewie does an iPod commercial, there are already some threads on it.

But this is the OFFICIAL thread, so post away!!

[killuminati]

It was a good episode but I have to say, I don't like how stupid they've made Peter. Hes just starting to become too dumb. I know that this episode he was purposefully made much stupider but I'v found he is, this whole season.

Tonight Teletoon did 4 back-to-back old episodes of Family Guy and it really made me remember how much better the old ones were. They were funny on a whole different level.

Well, that's just my opinion. I have friends who think this is the best season so far :rolleyes:.

[~Shard~]

Haven't watched last night episode yet, but have it taped - looking forward to another great new Family Guy!

[Sharewaredemon]

Don't forget, Peter also owns the boat on which Joe fell overboard. Peterliner?

Kinda like they did with homer on the simpsons. He just got dumber and dumber. I dont' know if they are going to keep doing it this way but last nights episode was pretty good. ya ya there was an ipod in it, but that bit wasn't all that great. and again, american dad was good as well. I'm glad that, that show is getting better week by week.

Didn't that crash in the cave with the robot fish?

[Sharewaredemon]

Didn't that crash in the cave with the robot fish?


Naw I don't think so, cause how would they have gotten back after they killed Daggermouth.

"Boom-Boom did you do your laps today?"
"YEsssss and I'm about to do forty more!"

Not that continuety is something they strive for in that show. Seeing as Chris and Meg's fathers aren't Peter.

[jelloshotsrule]

stewie to one of the hookers (roughly quoted from memory):

"so do the tires have any tread left? or is it like throwing a hot dog down a hallway?"


hahahah. that's so awful. the bad part was that i was laughing so long and hard that i missed the next minute or two of jokes. hah

good episode last night. american dad was pretty good too.

[dotdotdot]

Or Stewies.

But theres also evidance that they are.

"Woman gives birth to elephant boy" - Pic of Lois exhausted after giving birth and the baby is Chris

Dr: "Congratulations Mr. Griffin! It's a Girl!"
Peter, holding a ton of sports equiptment: "Can, Can you check again?" - That is Meg.

[MacNut]

I miss Stewie trying to take over the world, he seems to have tamed a bit. And he's not trying to kill Lois anymore, or at least not as much.

[Sharewaredemon]

Or Stewies.

But theres also evidance that they are.

"Woman gives birth to elephant boy" - Pic of Lois exhausted after giving birth and the baby is Chris

Dr: "Congratulations Mr. Griffin! It's a Girl!"
Peter, holding a ton of sports equiptment: "Can, Can you check again?" - That is Meg.


Haha this is like a test of the skills.

Emission Impossible....

They are looking through baby books.

Chris-There's the broken condom that led to by birth.
Lois- and the resulting lawsuit that bought us this house. You're my favourite mistake!


Screwed the Pooch

Peter is talking about how Brian knows the kids better than him to the Judge.

If I was half the father Brian was I would know that Stewies favourite bedtime story is:

Brian- Goodnight moon.

And that Chris's favourite ice cream flavour is...
Brian- Chocolate chip.

Or that Meg's real father is....
Brian- (says a name I don't remember) cuts to meg listening to music on headphones and Chris looking at her.

So in fact both Chris and Meg have fathers that aren't Peter.

Not that it matters anyway.

[dotdotdot]

Or that Meg's real father is....
Brian- (says a name I don't remember) cuts to meg listening to music on headphones and Chris looking at her


Stan Thompson

And how does the Emission Impossible mean that Peter isn't the dad? It could be like they suid the condom company...

The success of the 'Family Guy' DVDs prompted the release of a full-length feature movie.

LOS ANGELES (June 20) - "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane is preparing his long-awaited direct-to-DVD movie based on the exploits of his cartoon clan for a Sept. 27 release.

"It's been an enormous undertaking to juggle this with doing 35 new episodes of the show, but we think it turned out great," MacFarlane said of the film, his first full-length feature, and the first direct-to-video ever made off a television franchise.

The 83-minute, unrated "Family Guy Presents Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story" ($29.98) is based on the animated series MacFarlane created for Fox Television in the late 1990s. The irreverent series, aimed at adults rather than kids, went on the air in early 1999 and was canceled in 2003, only to be resurrected last month after an overwhelming demand for the show on DVD.

The first DVD set sold more than 2.5 million units, the second-highest sales tally of any TV-DVD release behind the first season of "Chappelle's Show," and two subsequent packages lifted the "Family Guy" franchise's total sales to about 4.5 million units.

That prompted Fox to take the unprecedented step of bringing back the show. The new season debuted in May and has since featured a bevy of guest voices, including Drew Barrymore, Jessica Biel, Jennifer Tilly and Adam West.

"Family Guy Presents Stewie Griffin" is something of a thank you to the show's fans who bought so many DVDs, MacFarlane said. "Fox had such a great amount of success with the previous DVD releases that I think they felt there was a built-in, surefire market for a 'Family Guy' DVD," he said. "It's also a lot easier to put out a DVD release than it is a theatrical film while you're doing a television series."

The movie finds Stewie, the maniacal baby genius, having a near-death experience that prompts him to change his ways. Instead of seeking to dominate the world, he sets out on a road trip to find his real father.

Guest vocal talent includes Barrymore and Ron Livingston, as well as three cast members of "Beverly Hills, 90210" -- Jason Priestley, Jennie Garth and Tori Spelling -- "in a special gag," MacFarlane said.

The DVD will include several special features, including deleted scenes, still galleries, animatics and a commentary from MacFarlane.

"We also sandwiched special features around the movie," he said. "It begins with an animated movie premiere, with the family arriving to watch it, and then there's an after-party at the end."

20th Century Fox Home Entertainment is planning the biggest marketing campaign ever for a TV-spawned release, according to division worldwide president Mike Dunn. Plans include national print and TV advertising as well as a viral marketing campaign targeting college students at bars, clubs and fraternity parties; special screenings will be held for college students.

It was an ok episode.

A great plot, could be acted upon MUCH better. But bad jokes ruined everything else about it.

American Dad is funnier. More topical humor. And two animal sidekicks are better than one, of course, if you consider Stewie to be an animal then its tied.

american dad was funny but since each week has been better than the last with it, it's not good to see reruns too much. hah

Im sure most know thats a ripoff of the secene from Animal House where John Belushi is on the ladder watching the girls in the sorority have a pillow fight. Awesome scene, especially for people who have seen Animal House before TV edited it :D

[killuminati]

Finally got around to watching last night's episode. I thought it was pretty good. One thing I didn't like though was that there were no flashbacks or other funny things like that, that they usually do. It stuck to much to the plot and wasn't as random. And the randomness is what I used to like about Family Guy.

My favorite bit from this past episode was Stewie slapping away the "airplane" spoonful of food, making a JFK Jr. crack about it, and then admitting that it was probably in poor taste. :)

Even more timely considering what happened to one of the Waltons today... I wonder what will happen to Wal-Mart when all of its founding family are gone? (Hopefully it will shrivel and DIE like a demon condemned back to the Hell from whence it came.)

Uggh...one can only hope, but if the way they pop up down here is any indication, that will probably not be the case. Soon there will Super-Wal-Marts across the street from EACH campus of the school I work at (35 miles apart from each other). Bleh :eek:

Its not the family that makes walmart walmart. The money will mostly be gone in 3 generations. That seems to be the pattern. It will go to various charities and universities or will be lost in the next bubble. Actually with that much money among 7 people it might last an extra generation.

Walmart will continue to grow until it reaches saturation , turns from its core or gets smacked down through either anti-trust lawsuits or producer revolt.

Walmart is based on a rather intriguing concept of a purchaser monopoly rather than the more traditional provider monopoly. Everyone whinges on Walmart's bland homogeneousness and usurping the local merchants, the thing is that Walmart really puts the screws to providers. They sell fabric for $1 less a yard because they buy it for 50c less a yard, save 25c on economies of scale and are willing to eat the remaining quarter and make less money.

Couldn't find the number of episodes this season, but did find this bit of info...


More information about the Family Guy DVD-movie, Family Guy Presents Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story Unrated, have been released by Fox:-

“In this exclusive 83 minute DVD premiere, featuring brand new, never before seen content, Stewie, the maniacal baby genius, is distracted from his plans for world domination when he sees a man who looks just like him on television. Convinced that this man must be his real father (after all, how could he possibly share genetic material with the dimwitted Peter?), Stewie sets off on a cross-country road trip to find him. But his incredible journey leads him to discoveries far more vile and shocking that anything found in his diaper.

The DVD will be released on September 27, 2005

Just so people know, because a lot of people have been asking me:

The reason the episodes are "out of order" (three episodes which should have been aired about four weeks ago, well, weren't) is because THOSE THREE EPISODES are the episodes for the FAMILY GUY STRAIGHT-TO-DVD MOVIE!

Hope everyone's happy now :)

63: Model Misbehavior 0/0/0 4ACX13 7.1
75: Patriot Games 0/0/0 4ACX25 0.0

In bold are the episodes that were aired already.

There are 14 episodes in that list, three are out of order, they are all connected (1)(2)(3) and are now the movie.

There will only be 11 episodes for season four

Season 1 had 7 episodes
Season 2 had 21 episodes
Season 3 had 22 episodes.

Season 1 and 2 were bundled together for the DVD. Season 3 was sold alone. I assume that season 5 (which was picked up already by FOX) will have 11 to 14 episodes, making 22 to 25 episodes (when combined) for a DVD box set.

As you see, there are only four more episodes this season, three after next week (no eppy tomorrow :().

Then, it will be the summer schedule, which translates to RERUNS, and then season 5.

Hope this helps!

Thanks a lot dotdotdot, I'm sure everyone here appreciates the info! So yes, only 11 episodes this season, the movie, and then onto Season 5! I think Fox renewed the series for more than just one additional season, didn't they? Or was it 2 seasons in total, i.e. Season 4 and Season 5?

QUICK! to the hindenpeter!!

I thought I heard like 30 something episodes were picked up by FOX, three of which are now the movie, so 27, which would sound more Season 4 + 5 together... 11 for season four and 16 for Season 5, which is still less than season 2 or 3.

Of course, thats saying exactly thirty episodes - I thought 34 was used a couple of times...

Either way, there wont be more than 22 episodes in Season 5, so add Season 4 and thats 11 + 22 which equals 33 episodes.

OR, there could be season 4, 5, and 6 at 11 episodes each, which would suck because we want more episodes per season, not more seasons with less episodes.

Agreed, I'd much rather prefer to see more episodes per seasons than fewer episodes strung across multiple seasons. I realize that in the end, the result is the same, but I hate having to wait through months of reruns until a new season starts. ;) :cool:

[xli_ne]

As long as they don't run the shows like South Park does. Have 5-6 shows, then don't show anymore more till like 7 months later. AH i hate that

I know what you mean. I had to put up with Harvey Birdman (my avatar) airing 1 episode in 2000, 1 episode in 2001, 4 episodes in 2002, 3 episodes in 2003, and finally a full 11 episodes in 2004. It'll be nice to see Season 3 start up here in a week! :cool:

Or, you could buy the DVD and watch it on demand...

The DVD looks awesome by the way.

Yes, I own the DVD, it's great. :) It's only for Season 1 and a bit of 2, so I have downloaded the other episodes so I have the complete collection now. When Season 2 comes out on DVD I'll be buying it as well though.

Interesting, as one of the Season 2 episodes, "Blackwatch Plaid", wasn't on the first DVD set, even though it should have been - perhaps all the 9-11 sensitivity made them not include it, just like the Osama joke on that one episode of Family Guy which they later cut out.

Wait, season 1 and 1/2 of season 2? That makes no sense - I guess they would include it with only season 2... or season 2 and 3...

[~Shard~]

Yep - not all of the "Season 2" episodes are included, there are about 7 or so missing. So, I'm not sure how they'll handle the next DVD, but I'll be buying it regardless. ;) :cool:

[killuminati]

Is Family Guy not on tonight? Or am I just the only one getting That 70's show instead???

This is pissing me off. :mad:

There are ~4 episodes left to last the entire summer until the fall schedule, so next week is a new one, after next week there will be ~3 episodes left. Its not gonna be weekly anymore until next year... (or season)

[~Shard~]

Yep, no new episode tonight - next week there should be a new one. With only 11 episodes this season, they can't show a new one each week, or else there would be a LONG wait until next season! I'm looking forward to the movie as well, it'll be another nice Family Guy DVD to add to my collection. :cool:

[xli_ne]

Thank god... thought i missed it on sunday night. Can't wait till next week. :D

[~Shard~]

Keep in mind though, there's really only 3 or 4 episodes left in the season! It's gone by too quickly in some repsects... ;)

One of my other all-time favorite Peter quotes is:

Chris: "Dad, what's a blow hole for?"
Peter: "Well son, I'll tell you what it's NOT for - and then you'll know when Dad can never go back to SeaWorld."

Anyone remember which episode this is from?


it's ep 303; this think it's called 'mr. griffin goes to washington'

Cool, thanks for that! That's the tricky thing with some of these Family Guy quotes, they can be so unrelated to the main plot sometimes you never know which episodes they're from... ;) :cool:

Hey Shard, what was the Osama joke that got cut out?
Was it in the Petoria episode?

[~Shard~]

Hey Shard, what was the Osama joke that got cut out?
Was it in the Petoria episode?

Actually the episode was "Road to Rhode Island", when Brian goes to pick up Stewie from visiting his grandparents in Palm Springs, and they miss their flight home due to Brian's drunkeness, Brian ultimately searches down his (dead) mom, etc.

When they're in the airport, Stewie distracts the security guards by singing a song so that they don't watch the X-Ray machine and see his bag full of weapons going through. After he passes through, he scoffs and says, "Lets hope Osama Bin Laden doesn't know show tunes!" at which point Osama steps up and starts singing, "I hope I get it, I hope I hope I get it!" etc. while his bag of weapons goes through.

Since this aired pre-9-11, they cut it out of all future airings and cut it out of the DVD version of the episode as well. I am lucky and have the originally aired episode on VHS still. :cool:

No problem, glad to enlighten! ;) There was another joke that was cut out of another episode (can't remember which one now...) which involved JFK as well... I'd have to scrounge thorugh my tapes to find it - it didn't make the DVD versions either...

[dotdotdot]

Its cut out of the season DVD (the Osama joke), but in the Freakin' Sweet collection of Seth MacFarlanes favorite episodes, the joke is in. All the episodes are uncensored (except for the sex scene - thats not in the DVD or on TV in Road to Road Island)

Ah good to know, glad to see it made it into one version.

And if the sex scene didn't make it into any version, how do you know about it? ;)

Wow! The like 5 minute vomit scene, priceless.

AND the iPod again! 2nd episode to have one.

1st episode: Stewie's iPod Commercial, he as one of the black stillouettes dancing to a song holding an iPod.

Tonight: Stewie packs some guy in the trunk of the car and says throws him an iPod. :D

Stewie sings "On the Good Ship Lollipop", from the familyguyfiles The song OSAMA BIN LADEN sings to distract airport security is from the 1975 broadway show A CHORUS LINE called I HOPE I GET IT which is part of an on-stage 'audition' that opens the show. He sings (a messed up version) of the line "ALL God, I hope I get it. I hope I get it. How many people does he need? BOYS How many people does he need? GIRLS God, I hope I get it." I think his actual words were "... How many people does he need, how many boys, how many girls?" Wether it was successful or not, we'll never know :cool:

Also, I think we should conduct an informal poll. How many people here want to visit Quahog RI? :D

I'd go, just to say I'd been there. I wonder of they have a "Drunken Clam" there... ;)

By the way, did anyone notice the quality of this episode (video wise) was not the same as every episode this season? This leads me to believe the reason this episode was so much funnier than all the others is because its from an earlier season, like season 2 or so. Also, Megs voice sounds different.

[xli_ne]

just saw the episode. pretty good, still no american dad though.

Not sure if it was from another season, but man, it was so funny.

It was just non stop jokes and flashbacks.

I loved the part where they go to see Les Misérables.
That was gold.

That was gold.I believe it was billed as a new episode, So many great jokes don't know where to begin. :p Stewie on Blind Date was awsome, Meg says I don't want to babysit Stewie because I could be out an a Saturday night, Luis says fine if you dont want to baby sit just say so but you don't have to lie. :p

[MacNut]

Stewie's 2 minute rant about the simpsons, you think your so cool with your downloaded Simpsons episodes, Oh so you can sing the theme to Mr plow well good for you.

I meant I doubt it's an old one cause of the whole Meg Neil thing.

[Lacero]

Wow! The like 5 minute vomit scene, priceless.That was a funny scene. Read your post before seeing the episode so I came in expecting a long vomit scene.... was not 5 minutes. Great though. That scene was hilarious to high heaven. This is the funniest Family Guy episode yet.

[solvs]

.... was not 5 minutes.
like 5 minutes...

:p

I'd go, just to say I'd been there. I wonder of they have a "Drunken Clam" there... ;)
Well, you'd be the only person to ever visit there, because it doesn't exist. :p

Anyways, I would expect Seth to know how to properly pronounce "Pawtucket" in Rho' Dylinese. It's "p'TUCKit" not "PAWtucket". But I guess I can let it slide, seeing as he's originally from CT :P
