Family Guy Tonight

There's always someone who posts in the morning after thread that they missed Family Guy. So here's your reminder. Try to get the buzz out about Family Guy. The rating weren't that great last week and FG fans need to get more people hooked on it if you want to see it renewed for next season.

Here's tonight's episode: 8pm EST

To Live and Die in Dixie

When Chris sees a convenience store hold up and identifies the thief in a police line-up, the Griffins are put into the witness protection program and must relocate to a small town in the deep south. While they are there, the townspeople put on a Civil War re-enactment and re-invent history by having the South win -- with laser swords. But when Peter questions the historical truthfulness, the town turns on him and he must fight his own battle

Some Family Guy Sites:
All in the Family Guy - Has Episodes for download
Brianz House - great site
Titles and Air Date Guide - this is where I got the episode synopsis
Planet Family Guy - this site has a Seth Mcfarlane interview
Spooner Street - Evil Monkey on this page
Downloads - go here to download "The Life of Larry" a cartoon Seth did before Family Guy.

Yeah ... like Mr. Mackey said on 'South Park' last night ...

Cartman: I no longer have the capacity for humor.
Mr. Mackey: Look on the bright side. You could get a job writing for 'Friends'

(Or something to that effect)

Watch this show. It was funny when it first premiered a couple years ago. It was funny when they cancelled it. It was funny when they brought it back. It was funny when it disappeared again. And it's still one of the funniest shows on television now that it's back yet again. Don't let this show die.

She was laughing as much as I was.

Funny, funny show.

Nope ... but I didn't find this episode to be as funny as most. I enjoyed it, and there were some great moments, but most of their shows are twice as funny as this one.

When it jumped out of her breasts, I almost died laughing. I though it was going to save the day at the end, but not.

The old man was funny as hell. Hope they have him back again.

wasn't this episode a copy of the "simpsons" when they went into the witness protection program also?

Ah, don't you mean "The Thompsons"?

The gay old man on the answering machine at the end had me dying of laughter.

And no, I did not get offended by this episode. I know that most southerners aren't like that...just stereotypes that are funny as hell.....

A lot of plot lines and jokes for this show are blatantly robbed from the Simpsons. I think Family Guy tends to make them funnier though.

family guy is one of the funniest shows, but how do they expect to keep it on the air, when they put it up against friends?

Family Guy is on tonight at 8:30 (delayed a half hour) after Quest for the Ring (a preview of the Lord of the Rings Movie).

The synopsis:

Family Guy
Screwed the Pooch

Peter can't stop trying to impress Lois's father, Mr. Pewterschmidt, and Brian can't take his eye off Pewterschmidt's racing grayhound. Bob Barker has a voice cameo as himself. Series creator Seth MacFarlane provides the voices of Peter, Brian, Pewterschmidt, Bill Gates, an ape and a cockroach.

This episode is the most twisted and perverted so far.

That's a good thing.

When Brian jumped the grayhound on the track and Stewie started in with the porn music:

I just don't see why this show isn't any more popular.

As always, a great episode. People don't watch this show because it's good, and for some reason, people don't seem to like good shows.
