Zetterberg is God Posted April 23, 2005 Report Posted April 23, 2005 You need RealPlayer to watch it: http://www.metalgreg.outburst8.com/Hosting...rth%20Quahog.rm If the link doesn't open, copy and paste it into RealPlayer. It looks like the writers haven't lost a step. Great episode all around.
Mik Posted April 23, 2005 Report Posted April 23, 2005 Sweet. Something to watch after the Marlins game. Thanks!
Placebo Effect Posted April 23, 2005 Report Posted April 23, 2005 Holy God. That beginning was simply divine.
Mik Posted April 23, 2005 Report Posted April 23, 2005 GI JOE! It's nice owning land. Blues Brothers. Passion 2! "Peter, we've stolen Mel Gibson's bath towels and Nazi Paraphanelia. We can't steal his movie." Stewie's look when Brian says upside down...face. Great episode.
AmericanDragon Posted April 23, 2005 Report Posted April 23, 2005 Just finished watching it and it was hilarious.
Sideburnious Posted April 23, 2005 Report Posted April 23, 2005 Yeah it was great. I really missed that freaky old man
Angel_Grace_Blue Posted April 23, 2005 Report Posted April 23, 2005 Which episode was the guy at the very end in?
Placebo Effect Posted April 23, 2005 Report Posted April 23, 2005 Everybody, I've got bad news. We've been canceled. Peter, how could they do that? Unfortunately, there's no just no room on the schedule. We've just gotta accept the fact that FOX has to make room for great shows like Dark Angel, Titus, Undeclared, Action, That 80s Show, Wonderfalls, Fastlane, Andy Richter Controls the Universe, Skin, girls club, Cracking Up, The Pitts, Firefly, Get Real, FreakyLinks, Wanda At Large, Costello, The Lone Gunmen, A Minute With Stan Hooper, Normal, Ohio, Pasadena, Harsh Realm, Keen Eddie, The Street, American Embassy, Cedric The Entertainment, The Tick, Luis, and Greg the Bunny. Is there no hope? Well, I suppose if all those shows go down the tubes we might have a shot.
nogoodnick Posted April 23, 2005 Report Posted April 23, 2005 It was pretty funny. I especially liked the part with the Passion of the Christ.
A Happy Medium Posted April 23, 2005 Report Posted April 23, 2005 The Quahog Clam festival, I believe.
A Happy Medium Posted April 23, 2005 Report Posted April 23, 2005 The Blues Brothers parody was so badass.
Downhome Posted April 23, 2005 Report Posted April 23, 2005 Wow, what an episode to start off with. Thank God this show is back, I've watched the hell out of my DVDs of the previous seasons. It's great to see that they aren't pulling any punches and are still going full speed with the anti-PC comedy. WWID
Ted the Poster Posted April 23, 2005 Report Posted April 23, 2005 I don't think I can watch this. I feel like it should be watched on premiere night at the proper time. Oh, fuck it. (Clicks link)
Conspiracy_Victim Posted April 23, 2005 Report Posted April 23, 2005 The movie parodies were great, and the Punishment Forecast is one of the funniest non sequitors I've ever seen. I could do without the Christian and Republican bashing, but I've learned to accept it as part of what Seth does and laugh it off.
Nightfall Posted April 23, 2005 Report Posted April 23, 2005 Yes, the Punishment Forecast was awesome for me, brought back one of my favorite FG moments.....IT'S GOIN RAIN

I was a bit dissapointed they didn't have Futurama in that list too Overall, I found the episode to be fucking fantastic and can't wait for the rest of the season.
Conspiracy_Victim Posted April 23, 2005 Report Posted April 23, 2005 Good point C-Bacon. I would've thought it would have been prominently mentioned due to it's huge buildup and subsequent flop (don't get me wrong, I liked some of the episodes. Just didn't do very well).
JoeDirt Posted April 23, 2005 Report Posted April 23, 2005 Wow, that was fucking funny. One or two of the bits fell flat, but hey, that happens some time. So much funny stuff, from Ollie to the deaf guy to the old man returning, to Brian and Stewie as parents, to the look Stewie gives Brian at Tucker's place, to GI JOE~! Thanks so much for posting this link.
Golgo 13 Posted April 23, 2005 Report Posted April 23, 2005 Nah. Compared to all those other shows, Futurama had a good run and got its due. Not to mention both it and Family Guy debuted around the same time and pretty much got the same treatment from Fox, so they probably didn't want to poke fun at it due to some sort of camaraderie. The ones mentioned there just flat out bombed out of the gate and never even got a full season or ran out of whatever steam it had very, very quickly. Futurama isn't even on the same level as those other blunders.
Guest Vitamin X Posted April 23, 2005 Report Posted April 23, 2005 Why did KingofOldSchool censor Futurama there. Anyways, great episode. Enjoyed it quite a bit, happy to see all the originals still there (Mila Kunis and Seth for example) and a tip of the hat to everyone that got them resurrected by showin up huge on DVD by showing a bunch of the characters us DVD owners have probably seen a million times by now (the greased up deaf guy, the creepy old man, THE EVIL MONKEY~, Trisha Takanawa, etc.)/
Golgo 13 Posted April 23, 2005 Report Posted April 23, 2005 I don't know. They were using spoiler tags, so I did also, since it was in relation to the original spoilers. But then, doing as C-Bacon does... yeah, I'm gonna edit it.
DrVenkman PhD Posted April 23, 2005 Report Posted April 23, 2005 I wasn't going to cheat and watch it but then I decided, hey, I've waited this long, I deserve to watch it now (also I'll be watching the PPV on May 1st). Man that was good. The best gag was GI Joe but the opening was really good too. Funny thing though - lots of minor characters appeared, but none of the supporting neighbour characters did. I look forward to seeing them again soon.
DrVenkman PhD Posted April 23, 2005 Report Posted April 23, 2005 My biggest concern was the show would be cancelled soon after it was brought back, either because Fox didn't like it or it wasn't drawing the ratings they wanted. This press release (from over a week ago, just saw it now) gives me hope the revival will suceed. " This time around, the Fox network's parent, the News Corp., says ratings are not as big an issue since the company's business model is built around license fees from cable and from sales of new DVDs and merchandise."

The ones mentioned there just flat out bombed out of the gate and never even got a full season or ran out of whatever steam it had very, very quickly. Futurama isn't even on the same level as those other blunders. I was going to say much the same thing. Only three or four of those shows even got a second season.
JoeDirt Posted April 23, 2005 Report Posted April 23, 2005 I can't believe how many horrible shows Fox has had on in the last few years...I mean the Tick?
EricMM Posted April 23, 2005 Report Posted April 23, 2005 I really liked seeing Brian driving a hybrid car
rising up out of the back seat-nuh Posted April 23, 2005 Report Posted April 23, 2005 "This is more intense than that time I forgot how to sit down" Great episode.
Mole Posted April 24, 2005 Report Posted April 24, 2005 Greg the Bunny. This had my cracking up the most because of Seth Green. Stewie's look when Brian says upside down...face. I think it was so funny because it came out of the blue. I'm surprised no one mentioned: When Peter was driving the car, looks down and starts reading the comic book. What he was saying about the guy eating the hamburgers was exactly what he was doing. I was rolling on the floor. Then he had to do the same to Louis. Classic. The creepy old man had me mark out the most because my friends and I always say "CALL ME." Does anyone know if they have all of the same writers/producers? I was looking at the opening credit names and most of them looked the same, but I wasn't 100% sure.
