4. Remarkably subversive, actually
it must have slipped by the censors somehow...

6. I liked it
Family Guy is great too. I think there has been talk on the DU about how Fox has some really raunchy stuff on especially with their cartoon shows. I think Al Gore's daughter worked on Futurama. They do tend to have really good cartoon shows that poke fun at themselves. I'll give them that only though.

7. I agree.
I was VERY surprised that got on the air.

I love that Roger the alien sounds like Paul Lynde!

Great show, I'll definitely be watching.

Very apt satire, to say the least.

12. RIGGED ELECTIONS!
I almost peed myself when the dad said he was an expert at rigging elections! Then that whole Shrub conversation with G-d! That was a riot! Especially when G-d had to take the call from Cheny and called him "Sir." LOL!!! It lambasted the right, but it was satire, which is why it slipped by the Faux censors...they didn't see it as satire, but rather, as praise for their way of life....LOL!

13. I was semi-following the show months before it aired tonight. (vid. clips)
Edited on Mon Feb-07-05 03:47 AM by Hatalles
A good chunk of the pilot had been released free on the internet as a preview. They were having some trouble getting it on the air and for a time FOX had dropped it. There was some talk of getting it on Adult Swim on the Cartoon Network but for some reason (don't know exactly why, maybe it was the growing internet fanbase) FOX decided to go on with it.

Visit the FOX site for video clips.

14. I thought it was great.
I was expecting it to be much different based on the advertisements. The dad reminded me of my nutty RW brother in law.
