Dear Family Guy,I love you so much, please don't ever leave me for more than a month again. If I did something to anger you, just let me know. I can change. I'd do anything for you. Play with rubber chickens, eat red carpet, look at David Hyde Pierce's testicles. I'll do it. I swear I will. I just... I just don't know what I'd do without you. Where else can I see a dog, a baby and a fat bastard singing about the "feakin FCC", no where else but you baby. So please, please don't leave me again. If life without you is what hell is like, I'll never sin again.
Love,
-Ryan j Budke
PS: On with the show!
The opening sequence, with Osama Bin Laden's blooper real from his latest "threat to the infidels" and Stewie suscinctly taking him out, should be required reading for all animation schools. I loved the new opening with Stewie's "world tour", pedaling his big wheel through Doom, Star Wars, and The Shining among many other pop references, and hope that it remains as the new permanent opening.
After an "incident" involving a fomer cast-member of Frasier's genitalia being exposed on the Emmy's, the FCC starts cracking down on any and all offenses being broadcasted. This leads to The D--- Van D--- Show, edits of The Honeymooners and Peter being extrememly pissed off. In retaliation, he starts his own television channel: PTV. Peter starts by airing unedited shows but quickly moves on to original programming such as Cheeky Bastard, Midnight Q hosted by Quagmire and The Peter Griffin SideBoob Hour.
Lois can't take the smut that her husband is putting on the air though and reports him to the FCC. Her plan backfires on her when the FCC comes to Quahog and starts censoring everything that happens everywhere in the town. After admitting that Peter was right, she travels to Washington DC with him and they convince congress to "loosen up".
Holy Crap! This may have been my favorite episode of Family Guy ever. This episode was done in response to the PTC naming Fox, and Family Guy specifically, as the worst "family friendly" television programs out there. It goes probably further than any of it's episodes ever have before. It has some of the best stupid humor ("Why thank you tinkly-fairy") and some of the best smart quick humor ("Brian stop writing jokes for Peter") out there. As I said in my opening, I am in love with this show.
