"That thing's so old it probably gets the Du Mont network"

"Please sir, I wan't some more. Wha? All right, stop it! Stop it right there! Now go on, fill up the bowl."

"Well go on, hotwire it. What do you mean, hotwire it? I don't even pump my own gas. Oh, for God's sake. (Song) Do you really want to hurt me? (/Song) oh, turn it back, I like that song."

The humour (forgive the British spelling) in this show is so diverse that you would have to be pretty dull not to even chuckle. The esoteric references are extremely funny to those who catch them (such as the Du Mont network) and the show makes fun of pop culture, including itself. The irony of what we actually like as a viewing audience is displayed, showing the true ridiculity (patent pending on that word) of culture. (Example - who here actually liked the song "Do you really want to hurt me"?)

Family Guy is a superb show with many polydimensional characters whose personalities bounce off each other in such a natural way. Seth MacFarlane is a real jewel in the word of humour and writing. His obscure references and esoteric wit will be sorely missed here. Family Guy Movie! Yes! Please!
