Family Guy - The Official Thread

i enjoyed family guy last night. not the best ever, but i was very happy to see the return of the creepy old man obsessed with chris.....

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

Yeah, that part was great.


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
 
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.

Yes please back on topic, I thought they were full 20 ep seasons.
 
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 :)

Ah, interesting, I wasn't aware of that. So will there in fact be only 11 episodes then this season, as opposed to 14?
 
From the new TV Tome, www.tv.com, is the list of all episodes:

51: North by North Quahog 5/1/2005 4ACX01 2 reviews 8.6
52: Fast Times at Buddy Cianci Jr. High 5/8/2005 4ACX02 1 review 7.9
53: Blind Ambition 5/15/2005 4ACX04 7.9
54: Don't Make Me Over 6/5/2005 4ACX03 10 reviews 8.6
55: Stewie B. Goode (1) 0/0/0 4ACX05 6.1
56: Bango Was His Name Oh (2) 0/0/0 4ACX06 6.7
57: Stu & Stewie's Excellent Adventure (3) 0/0/0 4ACX07 6.7
58: The Cleveland-Loretta Quagmire 6/12/2005 4ACX08 19 reviews 6.3
59: Petarded 6/19/2005 4ACX09 23 reviews 6.7
60: Brian the Bachelor 6/26/2005 4ACX10 19 reviews 6.1
61: 8 Simple Rules for Buying My Teenage Daughter 7/10/2006 4ACX11 7.5
62: Breaking Out Is Hard to Do 0/0/0 4ACX12 6.7
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?

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:

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:
