Alright guys, I am gonna try and open the discussion on something that has been on the tips of everybody's tongues for a long time now, Seth McFarlane has managed to turn his ever-popular television series Family Guy into a means of expressing his appreciation for well, things he likes. Even after it was canceled it was brought back to television by popular demand and has since taken over as one of the most watched shows on the air.
Whether it's his love for musicals and Broadway...
A recent popular film...
Or another equally classic television series...
There has never really been an animated series like it before. Family Guy and it's creators have done more to cause a major epistemological shift in television in comprising the bulk of their show with cutaways, flash-backs, and scenes completely unrelated to the story (if any) present during each episode. You would think that this would cause an outcry amongst viewers, but quite to the contrary it's ratings continue to sky-rocket and the show's popularity increase.
Very good blog post here, Geoff, on one of TV's greatest programs.
