Fox Considering a Return of "Family Guy"
wo1verin3 writes: "USA Today is reporting that all is not lost and due to exceptionally strong DVD sales Family Guy may return with as many as 35 new episodes! A DVD set of the show's first 28 episodes, released in April, has sold nearly 1 million copies, making it this year's top-selling TV show and the No. 4 television title ever, according to Video Store magazine."
Stewie Lives :)
Futurama was smarter, funnier, and provided lots of could-be "prior art" for future patent lawsuit defenses.
Stupid people make stupid things profitable.
A sense of humor?

I figured they'd end up on UPN with Buffy and the gang...
Chris Griffin: Where do you think you go when you die?
Southern boy: I learned from church that if you're good you go to heaven but if you're bad, you go to a place where the dead believe they're still living and they pray for death but death won't come.
Chris Griffin: UPN?
What the DEUCE!? That's bloody marvelous! Family guy is a virtual cornucopia of matriarchal matricide. Does anyone know for certain if Stewie's accent is modeled after a South African or some form of British? I guess I'm not worldly enough to tell ;-)
Everyone can thank me. I told the fox network executives that my kid was dying and his last wish was to have another season of Family Guy.
My sig can beat up your sig.
But.. they look like pepperoni
So the only way to get rewarded of wasting most of your youth is to be able to get some jokes while you waste away more of your life.. woop dee fucking doo!
...
... is what I would say if I wasn't wasting *my* youth on Slashdot ;)
Karma: Could be worse (could be raining)
I'm too lazy to compose a creative sig.
Matt is from Portland although I argue that the Springfield vs. Shelbyville rivalry comes from Eugene and Springfield
That may make sense. There was an episode of Futurama which had a spoof of the Iron Chef, and in the beginning, Bender was a robo (Robot Hobo):
Hobo: Welcome to Bumbase Alpha, the biggest hobo jungle in the quadrant.
Bender: I've seen bigger. Oh wait, I'm thinking of Eugene, Oregon.
My favorite quotes, cant remember them exactly but i'll try...
:)
Meg: Happy Birthday Stewie! You want some ice cream?
Stewie: yes, but NO SPRINKLES! For every sprinkle I find, I shall kill you.
-----------
Mom: You look as happy as when you were born
Stewie: But of course, that was my victory day, the fruition of my deeply laid plans to escape from that curse-ed ovarian bastille. (looks at mother who has his mind control device) Return the device woman!
-----------
Stewie: Excellent! The weather machine is nearly completed! What do you say to that broccoli? (broccoli just sits there)... STOP MOCKING ME!
-----------
Mom: Stewie, why dont you play in the other room.
Stewie: Why dont you BURN IN HELL!
-----------
Stewie: (in diaper) I say, am I to spend the entire day wallowing around in my own feces?
-----------
Stewie: (Captured in airport trying to escape by security guard) Damn you! You're one of them arent you? What are they paying you? I'll double it! I'll give you whatever you want! Money! Women! (looks at him precariously) Men?
-----------
Stewie: (to Mom) Ohhh blast you and your estrogenical treachery!
-----------
Stewie: Well well Mother... We meet again!
Mom: Stewie I thought I tucked you in an hour ago?
Stewie: Not tightly enough it would seem! And now you contemptible harpy I shall end your oppressive reign of matriarchal tyranny.
------------
Stewie: (to mom) Damn you vile woman! You've impeded my work since the day I escaped from your wretched womb.
Im sure there are lots more
Guy on Slashdot proves that not everyone can come up with good plot ideas for popular television shows. Further reinforces the long-known truth that people don't have the ability to evaluate their own ideas in a reasonable manner.
Maggie and Stewie blowing up Springfield? Yeah....
I hate liberals. If you are a liberal, do not reply.
Specific example: In the Simpsons episode where Sideshow Bob is out of prison on work release, and he keeps stepping on rakes. The longer it goes, the funnier it is. The third time the bit is repeated, he keeps stepping on one rake after another, which is hilarious.
Caveat: If what you're doing isn't funny, no amount of repetition will save you. Case in point: "You like-a the juice?"
Final point: there's very little that's less funny than someone talking in technical terms about why something is funny.
