It was kinda alluded to in the Family Guy movie with him interacting with his future self, but other than that I dont recall anything...

Originally posted by SamuelXDiamond: The latest episode had a kiss between Brian and Stewie. That's pretty gay. Yeah I saw that one too. I don't know how they get away with it. I just saw an advert for the Family Guy season 4 and American Dad season 1 both on DVD on Monday. I got going to get them when I get paid

They're coming out here next month. I'll definitely get American Dad, but the only reason I'd get Family Guy Season 4 is to hurl it into the sun.

I'll be getting both. I liked Season 4. Why does everyone say it's crap?

Season 4 did have some good episodes, yes - but it completely fell apart after Breaking Out is Hard to Do (the only good episode after that is PTV) when the storlyines stopped making any sense whatsoever, all the jokes started going on for waaay too long, and the show stopped being funny. If I got bored watching them on tv, why would I want to own it on DVD?

I have to say, Season 4 has been my favourite season so far. I don't know why, it's just made me laugh more than others.

Season 2 was the funniest season, Season 3 had a bit more substance, Season 4 has had some funny moments, yes, but I'd rank it below Season 1 in quality.

Depends. Some list Season 5 as starting with Peter's Got Woods - however, if you look at the production codes, everyone's STILL on Season 4, so I'm just considering it all to be one season for now. Originally posted by Spawn_3005: The South Park episode was right on the money. I wonder if Family guy will retaliate.
The head manatee Seth Macfarlane commented on it in a recent interview, saying something along the lines of "I'd be a hypocrite to get upset about it - South Park shits on everyone, like us." Maybe comparing South Park to Family Guy was his revenge? But, think about it. How do they expect to hit back? If they do an entire episode mocking South Park, it'll just seem really childish, and given how long it takes to make an episode of Family Guy, it'd be very dated by the time it aired. And if they slip in a random cutaway mocking South Park, then that'll just be proving the exact point that Cartoon Wars was making. Family Guy can't win! Hahahaha!

I saw some episodes from the new DVD and I was laughing all the time. I like the episode where peter goes blind and it was great to see him fighting the chicken again in a very long scene. I didn’t like the bit where Peter almost molested Chris.

No, watch the first episode again. There were just as many, if not more flashbacks when it started - the difference now is, instead of being quick, 5-second "here's the set-up, followed immiedately by the punchline" gags, it's now overly drawn-out 1-minute "here's the setup, now let's cut to something and force you to sit through it for ages, waiting for the punchline only to discover there is none." Granted, I wouldn't mind it if it was only once every few episodes, but when you're getting several of these in one episodes, that's just fucking lazy. It's a shame Seth Macfarlane missed that plane. Originally posted by Spawn_3005: Hmm, I think it's kind of rude for South Park to step in during the middle of a Simpson/Family Guy war...
...Maybe South Park was just making a comment and it'll be left at that. However, them dragging The Simpsons in (Bart Simpson in the episode too) tells me that may not be the case. What the fuck are you talking about? There's no exclusive Simpson/Family Guy war - The Simpsons writers have been taking occassional shots at Family Guy in the show and on the audio commentaries, and that's about it. Read the "criticisms" entry on Family Guy's Wikipedia page. A LOT more people hate Family Guy, and have said much worse things about it. Matt Stone and Trey Parker said YEARS AGO that it was "a real kick in the balls" when people would tell them the two funniest shows were South Park and Family Guy. They're not just randomly stepping in now. Unlike The Simpsons, which just accuses Family Guy (and every other animated show) of ripping them off, South Park had a good point to make about the way Family Guy is written, and why they hate it. The scene when Cartman is saying "Don't you EVER compare me to Family Guy" is essentially supposed to represent Matt and Trey telling the viewers never to do that with South Park. Firstly, that was not Bart in it. It's his legally distinct South Park counterpart - and it's not fucking Bart! It's just a Bart-like kid. He's far too dark an interpretation to be Bart Simpson. South Park was just bringing him into it as Bart represented The Simpsons, and they also hate Family Guy. Granted, it would've been funnier as just a one-off visual gag, but then again, that would've gone against what they were saying about Family Guy. The episode was called Cartoon Wars - not Family Guy Wars. Matt and Trey slipped in opinions on everything. We know they like The Simpsons (at least the old episodes, anyway), we know they hate Family Guy, we don't know what they think about King of the Hill, but we DO know they're friends with Mike Judge, hence the King of the Hill references in the background when Cartman and Kyle were fighting on the Fox studios. There is no "war" between The Simpsons and Family Guy, just a lot of shots from The Simpsons' writers (though Matt Groening and Seth Macfarlane do get along, apparentally), many more people have said many worse things about Family Guy, and South Park's points were valid and had a reason to be said. South Park had every right to step in and make that episode.

Don’t make me over I like this episode and I really like Meg’s make over. I also like the bit where Peter beats up Jimmy Fallon. It was also funny hear you hear Stewie sings the “intercourse” song ----------------

I liked the show too. If you'd had asked me two years ago if I wanted to see it come back, I'd have said "hell yeah!" Had I known the episodes would be this poor in quality, I would've rather it stayed dead with dignity. And my arguments were regarding your comments on South Park stepping into a "Simpsons/Family Guy" war, not on the quality of FG itself. I've made the latter point several times in this thread.

That's the good thing about "aqquiring" the episodes on computer. Also, brilliantly summarised, Mystery Meat. Agreed 100%.

Originally posted by Spy: Untitled fg history- 3.5/5 (only because although I enjoyed the episode it had a lot of problems with meg jokes and other cheap cutaways) I liked the Meg jokes. Especially where one robber holds up a sign that says, "I have your son." I missed "Petergeist". But I'm sure they'll replay it. Any thoughts on the so-called season finale being the movie they released last year?
