I am really happy this show is back on the air with new episodes. I really needed more inane, senseless comedy in my life.
Family Guy continues with laugh out loud moments. This week, we REALLY saw the return of the Fighting Chicken. In a knock-down drag-out fight that went through a dozen sets from trains, planes, and automobiles and lasted several minutes ... we saw a chicken fight unlike any other. It was glorious, ending in an Indiana Jones fashion, and left open for a sequel.
Even for Family Guy, I'd say this week the plot was a thin line of gags strung together ... and some of them were not one shot deals. In one scene, we saw the Keebler Elves plotting an attack on the Rice Krispie guys. In a later scene at local bar, we see two of the Rice Krispie's Elves torn, beaten and bruised. "The elves, they were everywhere man!" Crackle raises his beer glass "Here's to Snap." Ah yes, we should all raise a glass of beer to our fallen toon comrades ... your sacrifice will not be forgotten.
And no Family Guy would be complete on the week of a Star Wars release without an obligitory reference. The end of the show was the metal ceremony from A New Hope. Think Peter Griffin was in line to see it yesterday?

After a long hiatus, Family Guy is back on TV, and is better than ever ... well, it's at least as good as it ever was, so that's great!
Tonight episode was filled with lampoons of pop culture (and everything else), from Mel Gibson's Passion of the Christ, to Blues Brothers ... talk about opposites on the film spectrum.
It was great to see them take stabs at the Christian "right," politics, and of course Peter Griffen nakked is enough to spit in the eye of censors everywhere (as was the creaking sound cartoon sex).
American Dad is on next, but I'll catch it on the DVR. It's good to have more 'toons on prime time, even if it's FOX.
