    Depends upon your perspective on Stewie and/or Family Guy. At first Stewie was a megalomaniacal infant with Peter Lorre's voice, now he's some amalgamation of sleazy teenager/adult in an infant body with some of the imagination of a toddler (i.e. holding a phone call with Grover while Brian sits in a cubicle outside his office.)

    I dunno. I don't think I can come up with any real questions other than, "Why is this a good idea?"

    I find myself constantly challenged to actually turn on the TV to watch Family Guy

    I loved this show when it first came out. Of course the network didn't support it well and it got canceled. My how times have changed because this show has taken off much to the credit of the loyal fan base which resurrected the show. I hope FOX remembers who was right in the future when another show like this comes along. And good luck to you Stewie and you new found success :)

  3. sounds like 'on deck' for the tv show by 192939495969798999 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This may be a way for writers to work out some jokes, etc. before they hit prime time. Additionally, they can use feedback from the web-based show to drive the overall direction of the TV series. It's good to see that they know who their audience is, to some extent...

    Come on, they can't put "peanut butter jelly time" into a cartoon on TV without realizing that they should reciprocate with some TV character-based internet cartoons.

    I don't really see this lasting long... The first few episodes will be catchy, cause it's something new (particularly something new involving Stewie Griffin) - but after a while, where can you go with it?

    I think you have him confused with this man.

    I'm not sure Fox understands much at all. The littany of good show Fox has killed is truely stunning. (all the while they leave this reality TV crap on the air..)

    Ahh, the warm glow of "Flamebait" down-mods for ripping a TV show for not being particularilly funny.

    Because everybody knows that differing opinions are always flamebait, especially on really important matters like cartoons.

    Fanboys are so predictable sometimes.

    Oh, and your favorite band still sucks. ;)
