Just an informal poll of our residents....

How many of you have heard of/seen the old FOX cartoon Family Guy?

God d*mn, Stewie is one funny baby.


Personally, I find the comedy of the show to be quite funnier and edgier than the Simpsons.  Family Guy cost about a million per episode (Simpsons runs about 1.5 million for perspective).  It really is a shame they cancelled it.  I know a lot of rumors float around on the internet, but the most solid one I've heard is January 2005.  Until then, its DVD reruns for me.....


Can I say d*amn?

Its not about them airing reruns ra.  To me, its a bit like reruns of seinfeld.  They're still funny, but you know what's going to happen.

I didn't like it when it was on TV a few years ago, but the DVDs really got me into it.  

If you haven't seen it lately, try again.  :)

first link is the movie !!!!! (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0385690/)



and,  maybe a little known trivia on the creater

 On September 11, 2001 he was scheduled to return to Los Angeles on American Airlines Flight 11 after being a keynote speaker at his alma-mater in Rhode Island. Due to a mix-up by his travel agent he was told that his flight was scheduled to depart at 8:00am but it really departed at 7:45am and he had arrived at Boston Logan Airport a few minutes after boarding was stopped on his flight and he was told he would have to wait for the next flight. At 8:45am one hour after the departure of American Airlines Flight 11 it was hijacked by terrorists and crashed into One World Trade Center (North Tower) in New York City killing all onboard. In an interview in USA Today a few days after the September 11th attacks he said that he was unable to get in touch with his office or his family in Los Angeles and he ended up driving half way across the country before he finally was able to get his office and his parents to tell them that he was alright. He also said that he thanked god that his travel agent had screwed up the departure time or he would have been on board and he wouldn't have known what to do when the terrorists took over the plane.
