Anyone See Family Guy Last Night?
They did a fantastic satire on the FCC.

12. During the NFL pregame show
the MAD TV guy ( I forget his name)who does a comedy bit every show, did one making fun of Bush, all of the commentators said it was the funniest one he ever did, and at the end of the Simpson's halloween show the "scary credits" listed the Republican party...

6. The Police Squad intro

17. Yes Matt Groening and now Seth McFarlane are pulling in the ratings
I've attended panel discussions with both those guys and that question always comes up. The answer is always the same, the more eyeballs they deliver to advertisers the more they can get away with.

But to hear tales of some of the ways they slip stuff past the censors; it's pretty outrageous.

7. It was pretty good.
I think Family GUy is a terribly lazy show; but they can still do a good episode now and again.
