be more funny

Guest blogger: JL of Modern Kicks

So evidently a lot of people are excited that Fox is bringing back “Family Guy” after canceling it.  I can’t really see why – while I always like to see a RISD grad make good, I could never get into that show.  The character of the baby is not as funny as the creators seem to think, and the son’s voice is extremely grating, never a good feature.  Can’t watch it.

I’m also a little bitter that a mediocre production like "Family Guy” is getting a second chance when the true comedy gold, “Greg the Bunny” was axed without a second thought.  Sarah Silverman, Eugene Levy, and puppets?  C’mon!  Warren Demontague is a monkey god.  How anyone can get through life without slipping “I’m going to be spending the weekend in wine country . . . that’s what I call the room above my garage” into casual conversations, well, I just don’t understand.  But there it is, Fox kicked the show around for a few months and then killed it.  A tragedy.

Other things no one in their right mind has any use for: Star Wars, anything involving any form of the word “Hitchhike” in the title, movies in general.
