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?

I wonder...

I wonder if he'll allow Bill Cosby to come on as a guest. :)

Hey, mother, I come bearing a gift. I'll give you a hint. It's in my diaper and it's not a toaster.

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

No, he can't!

[Landshark17]

If he does get his own talk show he'll have ample opportunity to unleash his mind-control device on an unsuspecting populace!

Stewie is my least favorite character on that show

A talk show hosted by Brian, on the other hand, that would be great.

it came along and is called

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.
