I saw the final Family Guy Star Wars episode advertised on BBC3 tonight after the double bill. Wasn't too bad tonight...

Seems like they are really running out of ideas, I would rather have less episodes of a higher quality than lots of episodes with filler. Was there really any need to waste three minutes last night playing a music video from 1985?

Great show, but I still prefer the Simpsons. Can't stand American Dad however. Or Clevelands show for that matter.

Its been done on a few occasions, which for a 22-minute per episode basis is a bit OTT. The only serious plot diversions I liked were the chicken fights.

**Spoiler alert**
The third Star Wars episode was generally not bad. It has its funny moments, like Seth personally lambasting Fox for forcing a third instalment via the prologue :lol: but the whole two minutes of head-nodding became wearisome very quickly. And I personally don't like American Dad, so the presence of the fish and the alien ruined it for me a little.

I did quite like 'Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr Conway Twitty...' from the last few series.

Family guy is awesome, I dont really have a faverite charicter they all make me laugh in thier own way "giggity". I have noticed that some of the plots have been borrowed from the simpsons but family guy makes them so much funnier. I love some of the cut aways too they keep you on your toes. All in all well put together by a group of people who clearly have a sense of humour.

I wonder where Stewie got his non-American accent from, but it adds to his evil little plans which he seems to have quite often.

MacFarlane states that the inspiration for the voice comes from Rex Harrison...

That was annoying. The latest series hasn't been as hilarious as the previous ones. For me, Seasons 4, 5, 6, and 7 are the best! This season isn't too bad; I particularly liked the first feature-length episode at the haunted house, it was brilliant!

That was good, even as much as I dislike the James Woods episodes. I didn't expect them to kill any regulars off, I was surprised when they did, but, as the DVD extra says, it shows that they are willing to chop and change things to make it more interesting.

Not just the voice, Stewie is basically an animated (and modern) version of Henry Higgins who was played by Harrison in the film 'My Fair Lady'.
