I just saw the new TV spots on VH1 and I just HAD to make a thread. :lol Can't wait for the new season (Sunday, May 1st).

I also heard that the first episode got leaked...but I saw it 3 months ago anyway.

 

[teh_pwn]

I saw the leak. One of the best episodes yet.

 

[themadcowtipper]

Yeah I have Seen the new Episode, it was hit and miss

Spoiler

The Stewie and Brian as parent parts were more bad, then funny, The opening with Peter naming the fox show that would have to be cancelled for them to make a return was Brilliant though. And Mel Gibson parts, and the pardy of the Passion ruled. Overall Good return epsiode.

I thought that bit with them babysitting rocked, especially when they went to visit the newscaster.

You Might want to spoiler that, and I did edit what I put...overall a great ep

 

[Eminem]

yeah, the new episode is quite good. definitely can't wait to see a new one every week.

 

[Rocket9]

I wasnt expecting much because I didnt really like the last 5-6 episodes of the last season but I was pleasantly surprised.

I was getting quite frustrated during the very first jokewhen he was listing all the Fox shows and thought "i knew it, this new season is gonna be awful" but then the punchline totally floored me. I need to watch it a 2nd time but the rest was really good too.

 

[teh_pwn]

Spoiler

I couldn't stop laughing at the high class british porn scene for some reason. I watched them like 10 times before it stopped being funny. The intro was awesome. Passion 2 was awesome. Pinocchio was awesome. Other stuff was good too.

 

[Suerte]

IMO I thought it was one of the best episodes ever, then again, I've missed it so much... almost too much....

 

[Boomer]

Yeah the new ep is great..I'm gonna watch it sunday too, even if it doesn't help ratings

Spoiler

"Of course, Lois. Christians don't believe in gravity." :lol

 

[cubanb]

Spoiler

so many things I lol'd at: one was the comic book bit. another was the honeymooners bit where he actually socks his wife along with those scenes already mentioned

 

[Socreges]

It must have been a good episode since I wasn't disappointed. I had high expectations.

My only criticism is that

Spoiler

the allusions felt even more detached and contrived than usual -- though they were the funniest parts

 

[spliced]

I'm trying to hold out til it airs, but it ain't easy.

 

[teh_pwn]

Yeah, I'm going to watch it on TV as an act of support as well.

That's how I felt about the one where he convinces them to go to war in Iraq, but that's it

 

[Dan]

I'm gonna wait until Sunday to watch this, but a friend checked it out and said a lot of the voices seemed a bit off, as if the actors were rusty. Anyone else notice this?

 

[Boomer]

No..not really. Lois sounds a little funny..but not too noticeable.

 

[Ecrofirt]

there was something about the voices that was a tad bit off.

 

[Socreges]

Spoiler

Why that one in particular?? Maybe because you're a Bush supporter?

 

[themadcowtipper]

Unless you have a rating box it does not matter

Just Lois

Spoiler

Far from it..it just seemed too forced. I still laughed though

 

[Dan]

Alright, thanks for the update on the voices. Hopefully I don't really notice.

 

[themadcowtipper]

I stand by my original post it had some dry moments,

Spoiler

Most of the Stewie and Brian Subplot

Good return episode, not single greatest episode ever of Family Guy. I'm thinking some of you missed new episodes of Family Guy some much your judgement is clouded. We will get a real judge of how good this episode was when more have seen it.

 

[MoxManiac]

Well, one thing I liked about the

Spoiler

Stewie and Brian thing was the "Die Lois" stitchwork stewie was nonchalantly stitching.

 

[Father_Brain]

It was so-so.

 

[fallout]

The

Spoiler

North by Northwest "homage"

made me laugh quite a bit. It was practically

Spoiler

shot for shot and it just kept going.

 

[Neutron Night]

What is the title of this new episode?

 

[Neutron Night]

Never mind...

 

[WordAssassin]

Oh my GOD, just saw it, that was GREAT! I was laughing the whole time.

Spoiler

"That's not nearly as bad as when I forgot how to sit down!"

That had EVERYTHING in it it should have had in it.

Spoiler

Even the blackie weather forecast guy! "HE'S GONNA GET IT!"

:lol :lol :lol

 

[Sukahii16]

I didn't think the episode was that great.

Spoiler

The entire Passion of the Christ 2 was very predictable but I did love the Chris Tucker impression. I'm surprised no one has mentioned the appearance of GI Joe which to me was funniest part of the show, especially since it was pretty much an exact copy of those public service announcements they used to do with GI JOE drawn in the same style, with the flag in the background and hanging chorus. The parts with Peter stealing Mel Gibson's movie seemed somewhat similar to a recent Simpson's episode where Homer and Mel were doing the same thing for the sake of America.

 

[MetatronM]

Yeah,

Spoiler

the GI Joe part was hilarious. That was one of my favorite parts too.

"Now we know!"
"And knowing is half the battle."
"G.I. JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOE!"

Fabulous. The look on Stewie's face after Brian said the "upside-down face" line was pretty classic too.

Good episode all around. Perfect as a "triumphant return" sort of episode.

I agree that the

Spoiler

PotC

plot is a tired joke itself, but I think everyone can agree that making fun of

Spoiler

Mel Gibson, the creepy douchebag

is always a good thing. I assume that some portion of the new episodes were written awhile back and might not feel terribly fresh (hi, American Dad!). All in all, it was very entertaining and I had some good laughs.

 

[Manders]

I thought it was funny, but not the greatest episode ever. No way. A lot of it felt forced. And the Passion of the Christ thing is ooooooooold. Jeez. How long does it take to make an episode? They need newer things to parody. I couldn't believe they were talking about that movie. lol...so very old

 

[Mr. Spinnington]

THE best part was how

Spoiler

"This whole thing's just turned Chris's life upside-downface"

 

[Lathentar]

I thought it was a terrible episode. I laughed twice. Once during the intro and the other during the

Spoiler

GI JOE

joke.

I'd expect the series opener to be a lot more entertaining, considering they had a number of years to work on it.

 

[ShadowRed]

Why hasn't anyone mentioned the Pinochio scene? I freaking laughed my ass off at that.

 

[Pochacco]

No point of spoiler-proofing things. This entire thread is spoiler-filled.
Nobody mentioned the Jughead scene. That was hilarious too!
"Look at all those hamburgers! You can't eat all those hamburgers!"

 

[MIMIC]

Reminder: season premiere tonight.

 

[olimario]

It's really turned his whole world upside down face.

I'm taking this!

 

[mas9055]

Those TV spots just sadden me. I thought that maybe, just maybe, for once a return season of a show could be just as good as the last one, but noooooooo! Everything in these commercials made the show look terribly stupid and absolutely NOT funny.

 

[Socreges]

Haha, too late

The show lost none of its appeal. Don't worry.

 

[mas9055]

BTW anyone have a link to da leak?

 

[mas9055]

I hope you're right

Emmmm, they were written before the show was cancelled.

And just to be sure, I can promise you that the show hasn't missed a step.... though why would it at this point...

 

[Great King Bowser]

I've never watched Family Guy regularly, but have always liked what I saw.

Watched the leak last week, and I've since seen it 4 times. Awesome stuff.

Spoiler

I didn't realise Jake's dad was the newscaster until I read the spoiler above. Now it's funnier. :lol

 

[mas9055]

Downloading the leak right now. I'll write back after I watched it.

 

[Dan]

Emmmm, they were written before the show was cancelled.

It's true that they had a whole slew of scripts that never went into production, but this one obviously is not one of those, not when The Passion of the Christ was released more than a year after the last Family Guy episode aired, let alone when the cancellation went through.

All the clips in commercials have been from other episodes.
