So...
I was watching the new Family Guy episode tonight and as expected, it wasn't very good. Family Guy hasn't been very good in a long time. It seems the wit that the show had in its first few seasons has left it and instead it relies on cut scenes and randomness to create the humour and to hopefully hide the apparent lack of plot. I suppose it was like when the Simpsons started getting lousy, except in that case, the humour got transferred to Futurama. Sadly, this is not the case.
There was one particular moment in the show that had me rolling on my couch. They had a cut scene involving childhood actor Mickey Rooney and alledged that he was insane: Stating that he yelled at mice with his shirt off among other things. IS Mickey Rooney insane?
No. But something interesting trivia regarding Mickey Rooney is given to me by Wikipedia:
"In the Animaniacs song "Yakko's Universe", Yakko makes a comment that Mickey is small."
As well did you know Mickey Rooney can also be used as an adjective:
""Mickey Rooney" is also used as an adjective meaning inferior or of extremely high quality. eg. The Mickey Rooney chair re assembled itself every time I sit in it."
Thanks Wikipedia! And thanks for actually making me laugh Family Guy. Even if it was totally irrelevant to the show. Don't get me started on the lack of quality in this year's Treehouse of Horror... sigh....why are they making a movie...?
sigh.

Yeah. That part was amusing but the Gay Army joke has happened so many times. Did you guys catch Saturday's BSG? What did you think of the whole biological weapon thing?
