      Off topic? That is a classic Stewieism. You really should lear about the voice and speech patterns of the characters in a show before moding on comments concerning the show.

      Ooh, I know. We'll give the pimply faced loser in his mothers basement mod points. That'll make things right for sure.

      And there will be women and drinking and Al Sharpton on the piano. What's that, you say? No Al Sharpton? Damn! No piano? Double damn! Yes, well, I suppose Linus Torvalds would do, if that's all you've got. He can't come until 10? Oh, I see. Yes, I suppose examining Microsoft's source code -is- more important.... Well then there's really not much of a point, I guess.... Alright, then. Goodbye.

      Oh, well, then. I suppose I shall be forced to postpone this little soirée for a bit and make haste in my bid for world domination instead. Yes... Hmm... Yeeesss.... That would be nice. Yeeessss. Stewie Griffin, president of the universe. That has a nice ring to it, don't you think, Rupert?

    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 mean, its stewie - which is great, but if McFarlen makes up the questions for the interviews, it would be fabulous, becuase hes a very deep guy and a brilliant philosopher.

    Arrested Development

    And it's basically been cancelled by Fox after three seasons. Like Futurama they really didn't give it much of a shot:
    Cancelling episodes in season 2
    Cutting back to 13 episodes in season 3 and yanking it from sweeps

    ABC and Showtime have both made overtures of interest, so naturally Fox hasn't said "it's cancelled". I wish they would; it's obvious they can't market the show worth a damn.
    But how would you? It's smart, funny, and many of the jokes require knowledge of current events. And it's on Fox. What's going to lead in to it, Meet Your New Mommy? Reality Makeover Tour?

    Anyone who was a Simpsons fan when it was a good show abandoned it a long time ago so it couldn't even hold viewers in a Sunday 8:30 timeslot.

    To paraphrase David Cross: A show that wins critical acclaim and multiple awards that can't keep viewers. Perhaps the problem isn't the show, but the people in marketing who don't know how to sell it.
    It was much nicer the way I put it.
    Basically Fox needs to drop it so Showtime or ABC can pick it up and give it the chance it should have.

    It's funny; any hard core Seinfeld fanatic I know picked up on Arrested Dev immediately and have loved it from the get-go. Fox never understood that.

    I must disagree that Family Guy has sold out. I was an avid fan before it was canceled and have remained such ever since. As such, I must say that Family Guy is funnier than ever. The recent episode about the FCC was quite possibly the funniest episode of anything I have seen in a long, long time. Now Simpsons, that's a different matter. They have definitely sold out.
