Seth MacFarlane Set To Completely Sully Memory Of The Flintstones

May 17th, 2011 By Mof Gimmers

Family Guy may well be one of the most dismal programmes ever aired on a television anywhere on Earth, but that didn’t stop Seth MacFarlane scraping the barrel even further with the miserable American Dad and further still with the joy-vacuum of The Cleveland Show.

Quite an impressive feat you might think. How on Earth is it possible to make something more grating and unfunny as Family Guy?

Well, unbelievably, he’s going to top all of that when he takes over, revamps and utterly sullies one of the greatest animated series in television – The Flintstones. And you thought that the live action flick with John Goodman was bad!

Double DVD Review: Edge of Darkness & American Dad Vol. 5

August 5th, 2012 By David Scarborough

Bringing you your weekly DVD review goodness in a sickening double helping this week. We take a look at Mel Gibson’s latest relentless tirade, and that Seth MacFarlane cartoon about the family with the talking animal -?no, not that one, the other one.

Edge of Darkness has Mel Gibson returning to our screens as an actor for the first time since the M Night Shagalamb frighter Signs. Weathered, bitter, and definitely not?demonstrating his uncanny ability for diverse insults as much as he could, Mel isn’t?quite back in action.

What we do get is a pretty clinical conspiracy romp that has does contain a string of decent performances, shock moments and Hollywood’s most evil bastards – no, we’re not talking about Mel.

American Dad’s Best Quotes

August 7th, 2012 By David Scarborough

Seth MacFarlane is one of television animation’s most pioneering innovators.

He gave us that programme about the family with the talking animal and the overly intellectual baby. Then there’s that other programme that just started with the family, a talking animal and an intellectual baby except this time they’re black – genius!

If one thing is certain, it’s that American Dad bucks the trend. Sure, it has an American family and a talking animal, but this time there’s an alien. To celebrate the release of American Dad Volume 5 on DVD, we’ve compiled together some of the show’s most audacious quotes.

We would have loved to have put video with it but Fox wouldn’t let us, so instead we’ve provided pictures that you can cut out and animate yourself while repeating the dialogue out loud. Honestly, we’re too kind. Check it out after the jump…

TV Review: FlashForward, Five, 28/09

August 5th, 2012 By Keith Emmerson

FlashForward is Channel 5’s hot new US TV show that literally some people are talking about.

The writers of FlashForward came up with the idea while cleaning their kitchen surfaces and thought to themselves, “Goodness! I wish I could fast-forward this arduous task!” A two minute pause followed. “Hold on…Flash kitchen cleaner, Fast-Forward…..FlashForward!”

Handily, that's also the premise of this new Lost-esque sort of sci-fi, but definitely action/drama, genre series.

Family Guy’s Cleveland Gets Own Show

March 4th, 2008 By Shawn Lindseth

When Joanie loved Chachi it lasted exactly 17 episodes. When Frasier loved Niles it lasted even longer-ish.

When Skeletor remembered he had a mentor that had long ago been locked on another planet with He-Man's sister, it was like a steel-toed boot to the nethers. But that's just the risk of a spin off, now isn't it? You think you've got a great product, but then Hordak shows up and kicks you in the jellies.

Unless the spin-off of which you speak belongs to Cleveland Brown of Family Guy fame. He, apparently, is on the threshold of carrying his own show.
