Special K Posted April 24, 2005 Report Posted April 24, 2005 Peter: AHHHH AHHHHH AHHHHH AHHHHH.... HEY! Stop it. Stop it. Centurion: *sheepish* okay. Peter: Okay? Centurion: okay. That was terrific.
Star Ocean 3 Posted April 24, 2005 Report Posted April 24, 2005 I can't believe how many horrible shows Fox has had on in the last few years...I mean the Tick? The Tick was awesome...
Vyce Posted April 24, 2005 Report Posted April 24, 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. Or if you believe the rumors regarding Family Guy's initial demise at Fox, perhaps they just wanted to try and stay on Groening's good side, or at least not intentionally step on his toes.
Ced Posted April 24, 2005 Report Posted April 24, 2005 Everything being new and fresh made me crack up at every little non-sequitur. I'm going to have to watch it a few times to see what holds up. My favorite moment easily is the GI Joe "Learning is Half the Battle" skit, complete with theme music. And Stewie's reaction to Brian's Freudian slip at the Tucker house is absolute gold.
SuperJerk Posted April 24, 2005 Report Posted April 24, 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. You know, some of those shows came and went while Family Guy was still on the air.
Placebo Effect Posted April 24, 2005 Report Posted April 24, 2005 You know, some of those shows came and went while Family Guy was still on the air. Trust me, I'm well aware. Costello, for example, left the air a couple months before Family Guy even first aired.
AndrewTS Posted April 24, 2005 Report Posted April 24, 2005 I can't believe how many horrible shows Fox has had on in the last few years...I mean the Tick? The Tick was awesome... Andy Richter's show, too. Tick live-action was good, but wasn't as good as the cartoon, though.
2GOLD Posted April 24, 2005 Report Posted April 24, 2005 Titus went three seasons on FOX and essentially died because it was becoming too harsh for even FOX. FOX pulled a Firefly on it, showed the episodes out of order and the series fell apart in the final year because of it.

Costello, for example, left the air a couple months before Family Guy even first aired. I think it was more a comment on Fox's idea of good programming than of what replaced it.
Ted the Poster Posted April 25, 2005 Report Posted April 25, 2005 Titus went three seasons on FOX and essentially died because it was becoming too harsh for even FOX. FOX pulled a Firefly on it, showed the episodes out of order and the series fell apart in the final year because of it. I always liked that show. Any program with Stacy Keach and Scott Farckus(~!) is worth watching.
Guest Vitamin X Posted April 25, 2005 Report Posted April 25, 2005 Yeah, Titus was hilarious, one of the few sitcoms I actually made an effort to sit and watch.
Justice Posted April 25, 2005 Report Posted April 25, 2005 My favorite moment easily is the GI Joe "Learning is Half the Battle" skit, complete with theme music. Agreed. That was brilliant. And Stewie's reaction to Brian's Freudian slip at the Tucker house is absolute gold. I think Tom saying it the same way Brian did without even noticing it was just as funny.
haws bah gawd Posted April 25, 2005 Report Posted April 25, 2005 HE'S GONNA GET IT!!!!!!!!! *bows to Ollie*

FOX pulled a Firefly on it, showed the episodes out of order and the series fell apart in the final year because of it. Yeah, the 3rd year was way hard to follow. Don't forget the problem with the ever-changing time slots.
Vyce Posted April 25, 2005 Report Posted April 25, 2005 Just downloaded it and watched it - loved it. Hard to pick a favorite moment (maybe the G.I. Joe one takes it, though), but I do have to say, kudos to Seth for including a ton of the cult, fan faves throughout the entire episode (Ollie, the perverted old man, the evil monkey). I think that shows a real appreciation for the fans, who helped get the show back on the air.
TheFranchise Posted April 25, 2005 Report Posted April 25, 2005 I was waiting for the monkey to point at the bed, or something
UseTheSledgehammerUh Posted April 25, 2005 Report Posted April 25, 2005 It's reported that there will be an entire episode devoted to the monkey and what he does when the Griffins are not in the house at one point during the new season.
Jericholic82 Posted April 25, 2005 Report Posted April 25, 2005 Great ep!!! Its been too long. anyhow I also miss Titus. And I may have been one of three people to actually watch that 80s shows enitre run.
Jericholic82 Posted April 25, 2005 Report Posted April 25, 2005 btw who leaked that? i mean how did it come to be on the net?
Placebo Effect Posted April 25, 2005 Report Posted April 25, 2005 btw who leaked that? i mean how did it come to be on the net? Critics receive premiere episodes sometimes months in advance, though with definite midseason replacements it's often a week or two. I received Related by Family (now Life on a Stick), The Kelsey Grammar Sketch Show, Johnny Zero, House, and a few others months before they premiered back in the Fall.

Art Sandusky Posted April 26, 2005 Report Posted April 26, 2005 "This is more intense than that time I forgot how to sit down!" I've done that.
Ripper Posted April 26, 2005 Report Posted April 26, 2005 The Pinocchio thing had me laughing really hard. And this: Those were the best parts to me.
Art Sandusky Posted April 26, 2005 Report Posted April 26, 2005 The Pinnochio thing was almost as disturbing as when they had Minnie Mouse stripping for Walt Disney.
Jericholic82 Posted April 27, 2005 Report Posted April 27, 2005 The British porn part was also funny to me. "You know, we could have sexual intercourse right now."
Guest El Satanico Posted April 28, 2005 Report Posted April 28, 2005 I wish that Fox would've put Family Guy on at 8:30. I can only Tivo one program at a time and I already record Desperate Housewives, so if I'm not home or around a TV I'll miss Family Guy. Thankfully DH only has a few episodes left, so I won't have this problem for long.
TheFranchise Posted April 28, 2005 Report Posted April 28, 2005 So... when are we going to find the second ep?
TheFranchise Posted April 28, 2005 Report Posted April 28, 2005 They done took it down I'll upload it if anyone wants it.
