Watch Rush on Family Guy
Programming Note: Don't miss Rush on the season premiere of Family Guy, this Sunday at 9PM ET on Fox.
I just saw the couch bit - AWESOME!!!
WTF????
Okay, smart ass! :-)
“No point in arguing - just enjoy it with the rest of us. :)”
Indeed. Cleveland as R2 was cracking me up!
Sorry! I just saw your post. It’s over now. It’s on FNC at 10 PM. It’s like a SNL show - only funnier as far as I’m concerned.
I thought it was good, too.
It was brilliant. I've not seen a complete episode of the show since its debut. It may suck much of the time, I don't know, but this was a fabulous parody that ranks among the best episodes of a number of television comedies. I've been watching tv since the 50s and have seen many series come and go.
Great episode and well done. Did anyone notice Roger the alien from “American Dad”? in the cantina scene? I love AD as well. The Simpsons are still watchable and have a few good moments.
FG just throws in so many off the wall jokes and parodies and even sometimes gets the original actors in. Those are a couple of reasons I enjoy it. I try to tune out the crudeness when it gets excessive.
Damn I missed the show tonight!
Yes, they offed Danny Elfman! It’s about time.
He gets shot by Darth Stewie and says, something like "Hey, what am I R2-Pac?!"
When they turned on the radio in the land speeder and Rush came on, I thought, "Man! That guy sounds just like Rush!" It was hysterical. Rush was a good sport to do that!
“Rush? Rush Limbaugh on Family Guy? I never thought that would happen.”
Nixon going to China? Who knows. I used to watch McFarlane’s shows until he made it a point to politicize them.
Oh I agree. But it wasn't so long ago that Rush would have using this show as an example or our moral decay and other associated descriptive phrases.
I remember back during Monica him bemoaning the courseness that the story brought to the airwaves and that it exposed our young people to such acts. Yet today, that type of talk is common place on his show. It's not Howard Stern, but only because it's packaged better.
“I used to watch McFarlane’s shows until he made it a point to politicize them.”
Like the episode where Peter and Bill Clinton start hanging out and Lois gets mad because Clinton is such a bad influence?
Or when Chris was trying to join the Young Republicans Club and as an initiation they had to prank Clinton, who came out of his house naked singing, “It’s a wonderful day to be nude”.
They hammer celebrities pretty hard and news anchors too. The flaws in Brian’s liberal leanings are sometimes good fodder for bits.
I’m not pretending it’s balanced perfectly but they do spread it around and nobody is exempt.
Your comment is valid, though. What you are talking about is rife in the Simpsons. Whiny preachy liberalism that increasingly doesn’t even try to be funny. I wouldn’t watch Family Guy if it were like that.
The Simpsons have gotten more blatant with their BDS in the past couple seasons. Used to be a fairly apolitical program.
The biggest problem for them is that when they attack Bush etc. it’s just NOT FUNNY - regardless of point of view.

Exactly. I really think they do what they can to insert random shots, comedy be damned.
Never watched the cartoon, but thanks anyway.
The Family Guy is a great show, but does have a very liberal slant. What do you expect? Peter is a blue collar factory worker and Lois is a stay at home mother. The son is a wimp and Meg the daughter is a lesbian.
