Family Guy: I Wrote This Review On Adderall

Ever thought that you couldn't really pay enough attention?  Ever felt jittery, unable to sit still?  Well, this episode of Family Guy Stewie gets diagnosed with ADHD and prescribed Adderall.  It's prescribed by Dr. Hartman in a scene where Stewie gives my favorite line of episode, a throwaway while pointing in the corner of the examination room and proclaiming, "There's a cat in here."  I died. Sorry, I got sidetracked, maybe I need Adderall.

This oddly seems like an early episode of South Park where all the kids get diagnosed with ADD.  The storyline is insanely similar, but has a twist to it, when Brian starts taking it too.  Brian becomes riddled with energy and becomes increasingly "creative".  The contrast between Stewie and Brian provides a lot of fun, culminating with Brian trying to pitch a fantasy world he created to George RR Martin.  Martin gives a great line saying, "Medication doesn't make you write well, it just makes you write a lot."  At the end of the episode, Brian and Stewie proclaim that neither of them have attention problems, they're just normal people who don't need medication.  Hopefully this gets a point across to the family guy viewers.

In B-Plot news, Quagmire gets a spot as a chef on a local TV show and Peter is cast as the goofy sidekick.  Peter is the reason Quagmire lands the gig, because the executives loved Peter's antics and wanted them as a duo.  The story seems like the Beefsquatch episode of Bob's Burgers.  

Peter and Quagmire of course split after they can't work together and then end up with individual cooking segments.  This ends up with them going Iron Chef on each other, with the loser leaving the Network.  The episode ends with Peter sacrificing his win for his friend and then together, they say the N word to get banned from food related television Paula Deen style.

Overall, I thought the episode had its funny points.  I was able to pick out storylines from two different shows that seemed to be picked from though.  I'm sure that's not the case at all, but you can't help but wonder sometimes.  Hopefully this season of Family Guy proves to be as good as its predecessors.  But only time will tell, until then...

New South Park Is Coming

Hey there folks, we're going on down to South Park and we're gonna have ourselves a time!  I've been waiting for God only knows how long for South Park to bring back some foul mouthed children to my screen.

I love this show and it's basically my cartoon show.  I think that everybody has that one cartoon show that speaks to them, I mean you may watch more than one, but one is just your favorite.  Whether it be The Simpsons, Family Guy, or even Bob's Burgers.  South Park has been my favorite since back in the day where I watched it with the volume turned down real low so my parents couldn't hear it playing from outside my room.

Now I'm constantly worried about this show, cause there are tons of sources on the internet that are reporting that they are going to stop making South Park more than they are reporting that Miley Cyrus has a drug problem.  My hopes are still up because apparently Comedy Central has a signed contract making sure the show will go on through Season 20.  (Go longer please)

The stuff that's new for this season?  For starters, apparently Trey Parker will no longer be head writing every episode, more guest writers will be going for the show, such as Bill Hader from Saturday Night Live. (Side note, I hope Stefon makes an appearance on the show) 

Also they won't be having that mid-season gap in the show this year, we will get an entire season straight to the face!  Big fan of that!

So tune this Wednesday at 9:30 EST on Comedy Central!  I'll be watching!  (And most likely eating Taco Bell)

King of the Hill - I Miss Thee!

I really miss King of the Hill. I know it's in reruns but it's still one of my favorite TV shows. The character work might be some of the best in the history of TV. There's really not been one time that the show has had a character say/do something that's not them.

Plus it really irks me that the reason it was cancelled was to make room for the Cleveland Show which is the most God-Awful show I've ever seen...Well maybe not, I have seen Bob's Burgers and Allen Gregory. Okay, changed my mind, Allen Gregory is the most God-Awful show ever made. I've seriously never wanted to rip out my eyes and tear off my ears at the same time. (Guess there's a first time for everything) (Sorry Jonah Hill, get fat and funny again)

I did see this and it's pretty accurate...

But oh yeah, back to King of the Hill. I will miss the show. It's really good but I don't see it coming back just because I don't see them recasting Brittany Murphy, she was pretty perfect.

(playing sad song for King of the Hill)
