I really wish it would have been better. It's a good idea, but the writers suck.

Yes, there is considerable room for potential.

BUT A TALKING FISH AND AN ALIEN?

Chegitz has exactly the same thought I did. They put Peter Griffin on a diet and gave him a new job and family.

Things are funny because they're fresh. For example, Peter Griffin relating something to Momento is funny. This guy doing it isn't, because Peter Griffin already does it.

I really doubt I'll watch it again. It was a chore to get through it.

I like the alien. He's better than Alf.

The fish is just too stupid for me I guess.

Well, for better or worse, Adult Swim is going to play it this coming Sunday at 11:30pm. I just looked at the website. Seth MacFarlane, dear, wtf?

-like the critics say in 'Amadeus' "Too Many Notes"...they were trying WAAAY too hard.

-It was like watching some nerdy Grade Niner give the 100th retelling of his favourite Monty Python bit while constantly interrupting himself with giggles and and expectant pauses for laughter, oblivious of his audience. Just a lot of 'stuff' packed together; haha laugh.

-Too Many Poor Characters:
-Female non-entities
-Son is basically a non-entity..some sort of prep/geek melding?
-Dad is peter on testosterone
-Stewie and the dog have become an alien and a fish!! HAW HAW!! (Chick laughter)

Ways it could've been better:
-Make the main setting a Bureau of Homeland Protection building instead of a family home, with the main action and characters taking place there, give him some funny job like 'threat level colour coder', maybe put the alien in some secret base. Make the wife an extreme non-entity as a joke...no name, just 'honey', etc.

I've never even heard of this show.

This thread was the first I heard of it too. Wtf is Seth doing?

[The Mad Monk]

Just a guess:

Making a living?

[DRoseDARs]

Hookers make a living. This is just senseless prostitution.
