Friday night was the highlight of my month. After a month of waiting, I went to the Wiltern LG theater and saw the actors who voice the characters on Family Guy. This was one of the funniest nights of laughter that I’ve had in years. By the end, my eyes were so red and teary.
I am so tempted to buy a ticket to this. If only I could talk myself into it, it would be an opportunity of a lifetime to see the actors of Family Guy read a script live!
Aside from my huge desire to go to that, I’m hoping to get some tickets to the House of Blues to see Eisley in concert. Eisley’s debut album is pretty sweet. If I listen to it enough and like it, it will probably appear on the sidebar as a groovy CD.
I wish I knew more people who were as fanatic about Family Guy as I am. It gets old doing everything by myself, but paying a lot of money to see the Family Guy reading just isn’t worth it by myself, or at least I keep telling myself that. If I went, I’d probably try to bring a camera in there with me and take some cool photos!
Anyway, those are two things I want to do. Anyone in LA reading this??
I’m a huge fan, I admit it. I’m probably even obsessed a little, I’ll admit that as well. But my joy is well worth the excitement. Ya see, my favorite cartoon family is making a come back to Fox this spring. That’s right, Family Guy is officially back on May 1st.
Starting this past Sunday, Fox began a five week broadcast of Family Guy Episodes at the 9/8 o’clock spot as a little teaser to whet your appetite. Since I own the DVD set, it won’t really upset me if I miss any episodes since I’ve seen all of them at least 5 times each. But, I highly recommend to you if you’re a fan of the Simpsons, Futurama, or South Park, you should give Family Guy a chance if you haven’t already. It’s rude, it’s crude, and it’s sometimes nude, but it’s absolutely hilarious!
It’s sad when you come across censorship in a very sad form. I understand why the FCC has to do what it does, it’s not totally lost. However, when it’s completely ambiguous for Fox to have to guess what’s appropriate to show and what’s not, there’s definitely something wrong. Five years ago, when an episode of the Family Guy broadcast, the episode was shown in its entirety. Yesterday, when they rebroadcast the episode, “Fox electronically blurred a character’s posterior, even though the image was seen…when the episode originally aired.” Sounds like a double standard to me.

12 midnight MST. Why? Because the Cartoon Network features back to back episodes of Futurama and Family Guy.
Now to catch up on much needed sleep.
