"Shovin' Buddies" Family Guy

Family Guy makes fun of FOX and other networks. ("Shovin' Buddies")

Ah, yes there is the rotating black man ad too.

They mocked these promotions before with Quagmire making out with Marge from the Simpsons.

I found this Yahoo answer amusing too.

((I saw it on Fox TV bug when watching it last sunday, but now i can't find the wiki or imdb or anything about it...is it a secret show? please give me the dates, i also look foward to "rotating black man" ))

He's joking around, but I have to wonder if some really believes there's a show out there called Shoving Buddies. I know they're clearly making fun of Friends. Anyway, I'm shocked that FOX would let them bash the network like that.

If you are making Fox money, you can basically say anything you want about the network. Think about the ways Rupert Murdoch and Fox have been savaged on The Simpsons... and on King of the Hill, Bobby isn't allowed to watch Fox TV.

Yeah, the Simpsons have bashed FOX many times. It seem the shows on FOX really do aim toward the network more so than other network shows.

It's kind of funny that they allow it. it's probably one of the few things I like about the channel.

I didnt know about the King of the Hill thing

The reason The Simpsons got away with making fun of Fox was because Fox asked the creators to make a series out of the Tracey Ullman show. Therefore, Fox came to them, whereas with most shows, you go to the network.

Shannon Fill: Where is she now? (Ensign Sito Jaxa)

Shannon Fill:   Where is she now? SF has been reviewing TNG seasons o ver at his blog. And, the episode Lower Decks came up. I recently watched Lower Decks on Net-flicks and found myself amazed with the performance from the young and lovely Shannon Fill , who played the character Ensign Sito Jaxa. Jaxa showed up in two episodes of TNG, actually they were two important episodes.   There was a nice arc to her character too.   Her character was killed off in Lower Decks , but there were plans to bring her back for an episode of DS9. From Memory Alpha , ((One story considered by the writing staff concerned the return of  Sito Jaxa  from  TNG : " Lower Decks ". The pitch had Sito being imprisoned under inhumane conditions and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.  Robert Hewitt Wolfe  developed the story for some time. Feeling that there was insufficient explanation of Sito's condition, he had Sito killing her cellmate, whom she'd become cl...

Madison Swan/Mia Malkova: Not so Mother's Day

I’ve written about some messed up things in my time as a blogger, but this story might just top the cake.  And, I mean really.  If you are offended by porn and the porn industry, don’t read this blog.  However, this might be one of the strangest and creepiest things I’ve seen and read about.  It just seems so wrong... A few days ago, I stumbled across an Amateur Allure (porn) video.   AA is a polished porn site that features a lot of POV shots and newcomers in the industry.   Also, there is MILF/step daughter (pretending) porn thing out there and it’s very popular.   Even AA has a few of these “fake” mother/step-daughter teams.   It is a very popular Genre in the industry.   However, this one is different.   AA had a video claiming that a fledging pornstar Madison Swan/Mia Malkova   did a Pre-Audition video with her mother tagging along…her real mother.  Mia/Madison shows up for her “audition”, which means you show ...

Starship Troopers III (Direct to Video/DVD)

Starship Troopers III? I didn’t even know anything about this movie. http://www.slashfilm.com/2008/01/09/first-look-starship-troopers-3/ I enjoy Paul Verhoeven’s work and his style. He loves mixing nudity and violence like no other. Total Recall and Basic Instinct were great movies, and they just show that he has a twisted freaky mind. When Starship Troopers came out in 97, I was more than a little disappointed with the material. However, I’ve come to enjoy it more on repeated viewing. I also liked the subtext of the Military based community that planet has in this version of the future. There was a good amount of social commentary buried in with the violence and sex. Plus, Casper Van Dien is reprising his role. I guess those late Showtime movies haven’t paid the bills. Man, this guy can’t act. Back in the first movie, which was the worst actor Denise Richards or Casper Van Dien ? By the way, here’s a listing of the sequels and spin offs from the St...
