Family Guy / American Dad

By now, I'm sure that everyone out there knows about the animated show called ‘Family Guy’. If you don’t know about it, then what you need to do is go down to the DVD store, and do some purchasing. Holy crap, that show was funny; if you’re looking for joke after joke after joke, then this is the show to watch. If you’re too cheap to buy the DVDs, then you can also catch it on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim and TBS. Take the time to marvel at the idiot dad and the football-headed-evil-genius-toddler son. Stare in amazement at the mom who’s not afraid to kick a little ass every now and then. Gape at the teenaged daughter and son who are both insane in their own right. Pure gold, people. The best news of the year has to be that Fox (the network that originally ran this show) has decided to “uncancel” this show based on the tremendous DVD sales.

In addition, Seth MacFarlane (the guy who created FG) has another show coming out next year called ‘American Dad’. I’ve seen the six-minute pilot for AD, and I think it’s got some really good potential. It’s about a CIA agent who is always on the lookout for terrorists (to an extremely paranoid level---the man killed a toaster, people) and his family which consists of an ex-party girl wife, 2 teenaged kids, an alien from area 51, and a German talking goldfish. I hear that AD is supposed to premier after the Superbowl, but I’m not totally sure. Keep your eyes open for this one, folks.
