I watched that last night in horror before changing the channel. Brian and Stewie running away from the flushing toilet was funny, though.
Kevin, I loved that Southpark!
Robot Chicken! (slaps forehead)
One thing our/my generation did well is the advent of prime-time cartoons! Take that Greatest Generation!

I find that it has a certain wisdom couched in all of that vulgar language and toilet humor (not that I have a problem with it).

And Lisa Lampanella makes me violent.

It’s MacFarlane. Green’s show is “Robot Chicken” on Cartoon Network’s “Adult Swim” lineup.

Roz - I hate how right you are.

I don’t hate MacFarlane or “Family Guy,” but I can’t get through an episode. I want to say it started when they just had characters re-enacting events and YouTube videos without any punchline (like Stewie re-enacting Bill O’Reilly’s “Current Affair” blowup), but I think it actually started when South Park did that episode where they lampooned it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPLcT7I9txM

MacFarlane’s wearing on me lately. Too full of himself. I find myself becoming increasingly bored and/or offended by “Family Guy”. It is very funny at times though it can’t touch “Southpark”. I prefer “American Dad” to “Family Guy”; no boring scenes that run on way too long.

I miss the Dean Martin roasts. Yeah, I know. I’m old. I also don’t care.
