Guest El Satanico Report post Posted November 8, 2003 Homer-Peter and Lisa-Meg are really the only characters close enough to call rip offs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Retro Rob Report post Posted November 8, 2003 Meg is too materialistic, as opposed to the sentimental Lisa, so I wouldn't call it a rip-off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2003 What irritates me is when people try to connect every character to the Simpsons. It's not a complete rip off, you know. And not everything on the Simpsons is a Family Guy ripoff. Everyone acts like just because the Simpsons put stuff that's so out there, it's because they're ripping off FG. I'd say it's obvious that they've been influenced by the show, but then again, one could say that all the pop culture references on FG is just ripping off the Critic, who was doing all of that stuff back in 1994. Let's just agree that every show that comes down the pike, whether it's animated or not, has its influences from other shows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the comparison is just that they're both pretty annoying when compared to their surrounding cast of characters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Renegade 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2003 Method to Madness is by far my fave episode. "I-I think the best piece of advice I was given was by Martin Scorsese when I was trying to figure out why I was taking abuse from a young Chris O'Donnald. And he said you dont have to understand why, your character does. And that always struck with me..." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2003 Meg is too materialistic, as opposed to the sentimental Lisa, so I wouldn't call it a rip-off. I think the comparison is just that they're both pretty annoying when compared to their surrounding cast of characters. I like Lisa, but my taste in characters can run a bit odd. I think the influences flowing both ways are acknowledged and good natured... Peter Griffin appearing among the Homer clones being an example. I was a bit surprised by Homer becoming Death, cause it was more direct than usual. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted November 8, 2003 I was a bit surprised by Homer becoming Death, cause it was more direct than usual. I believe both were influenced by a Twilight Zone episode. I haven't seen that episode, but somewhere I read that. It sounds like something TZ would do and Simpsons do alot of references to TZ, so I'm not doubting that it's true.

JHawk 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2003 My favorite line episode comes from when Peter scams the Make A Wish Foundation. ::an ink bottle spills, changing Peter's petition to get Coach back on the air to say "If you don't put Coach on the air, I will kill Craig T. Nelson":: Peter: Wow! Craig T. Nelson! Craig T. Nelson: Are you Peter Griffin? Peter: Yeah! Craig T. Nelson (while handing him a gun): Make it quick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2003 Not sure if the Homer Becomes Death segment was a TZ takeoff, but the last segment of the night certainly was, as there was an episode featuring a man who had a watch that could stop time, but ended up dropping and breaking it after freezing time.

Guest Dmann2000 Report post Posted November 9, 2003 Today at work I was ringing up an order and for no reason my mind started thinking about the episode where Stewie brainwashes Chris and is speaking for him, trying to get a gun I think. I kept snickering and laughing under my breath, the customers in my line probably thought I was crazy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HurriShane 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2003 I really liked the show when it was first airing on fox, but I've caught some reruns on cartoon network and I don't find it as funny as I used to. It's still a good show but not as good as I remembered it being. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HellSpawn 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2003 ...My favorite scene is when Peter trips on the sidewalk and spends a good minute groaning repeating the same sound over and over again. I was rolling on the floor when I saw that part. Thats one of my favorite scenes ever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vyce 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2003 The show just rules all. So many great lines, too. One of my favorites: (Watching Sesame Street) PETER: Hey... is The Count a vampire?" BRIAN: What? PETER: I mean he's got those fangs...did they ever show him doing somebody in and feedin' on them? BRIAN: Let me get this straight....you're asking if they've ever done an episode of Sesame Street in which The Count kills somebody....and then drinks their blood for sustanence.... PETER: Yeah. BRIAN: No, i dont think they've ever done that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Retro Rob Report post Posted November 10, 2003 I was just watching some of Season Two today. Peter's vibrating "Mr. Cucumber Head" prototype is another classic gag. Also his editing of The King and I including A.N.N.A. conquering the Planet of Siam and dubbing it America is hillarious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
