They spent 2 episodes talking about it. They were informed in March CC wouldn't show Mohamed, that's when "it" happened.

I can almost hear Edward Everett Horton saying, "oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, that's quite a long list!"

Well, Family Guy is pretty popular. Not many programs get resurrected from the dead. The funny part about Family Guy is that many of the jokes DON'T have anything to do with the plot. That and they enjoy taking a punchline way, way, way past the point where it should have been ended. The South Park guys are pissy about the fact that somebody else is making people laugh using a different form of comedy. I don't know why jealousy doesn't seem like the most obvious conclusion. If the tables were turned, it certainly about seem like jealousy then.

I don't think it's jealousy at all. I think they were looking for another show that might be likely to show Mohamed and would probably do it in a non-insulting way. Family Guy, with it's constant use of non sequitor humor, is the obvious candidate, and really the only candidate. And the fact that they decided Kyle, who's generally the smartest of the 4 kids, loves the show is something that has to be considered.

You're right, but more importantly, they were dead-on with their sarcasm. I downloaded the Real Media files and showed them to my (in their 80's) parents. Even they got the distinction that Donohue (is it true that he was "Old Cracker? ;'} missed.
They had some filler (it was a two-parter, after all), but they were brilliant.
Wish I could say the same for "A Million Little Fibers"...

Maybe if they changed the back to say "Ha Ha! Made you look! I'd buy one.....

I see him in the beginning of each South Park episode when they show the whole town.

They seem to have snuck that one in. That's the new season's splash screen which probably went in after the discussion. Probably since it's an old drawing from an old episode they've rerun since 9/11 CC will let it pass.

She either has tremendous amount of patience or a fabulous sense of humor ... or both. Either way, you're a lucky guy.

He is a dork who gives us Catholics a bad name but who exactly do you think is "His goddess"?
