They did a great job of keeping to the original model; not trying to "modernize" it.

This. It looks like the characters just came out of a time-warp, they're still totally the same. It's awesome.

Funny thing. I swear the video mocking parts are using the same cutins. I noticed that the picture seemed to go from HD to non-HD when they were mocking a video.

Yeah - they definitely were. Was definitely...I dunno...thrown off by that. The dialogue is new, but it shifts to non-HD and it's pretty jarring.

Can't decide if it's bad though...it highlights the continuity.

The best part is that it doesn't come across as a re-make, but as a continuation after an absurdly long summer break.

I like Family Guy, but it the writing, characters, and stories somehow don't seem quite the same to me as the first round.

I'm pretty sure the Jersey shore isn't filmed in HD.

Family Guy hasn't had the consistency since it came back. There have been a few gems, like last season's Road to the North Pole and 420, but there's been a lot of meh to kind of good.

They go way overboard I think.

That may be it. The two episodes I cited are ones where I feel like they got away from trying to push the envelope as far as possible and mostly relied on good writing. Throw in the first two Star Wars spoofs and the Stewie time travel episodes/movie, and it shows they still have it.

Funniest part of that is that I recently read that Seth McFarlane wants to end the series and just do a movie length feature every couple of years. I think he sees that things have gone the wrong direction as well.

Agreed. The best episode of the new ones was P-TV. The Brian/Stewie stories have always been gold.

The funny thing is that MacFarland is involved with a concept to remake Cosmos and bring up to speed with Neil deGrasse Tyson as host. Apparently, Sagan was a childhood idol of Tyson and got him into astronomy. It has been a dream of his to update Cosmos.

i thought exactly the same thing...when they showed them during the videos, they seemed alot more grainy and the colors looked faded than when they were doing the new story.

I don't know about Seth's real commitment to quality. He seems more concern with the money (which is fine), considering the spin-off of the Cleveland Show and a bit of a copy-cat with American Dad.

The Cleveland Show sucks ballz, and I am as big a Family Guy homer as anyone. That show, though, is just awful.

I didn't get to see it but am going to find a way in the next couple days. Still consider King of the Hill one of the most underated shows of the last 10 years.

They did a good job. Though I don't want to see clips from Jersey Shore or I'm a Porn Loser even if they are being mocked. Ugh.

That was great. Mike Judge, you've still got it. Way to not try to "reinvent" anything, though I agree they could lose the MTV show clips.

King of the Hill actually made it something like 15 years. And it only seems like it started to tail off in the last couple seasons.

I was too young to appreciate B&B in its first run, but I caught a few minute of it last night and got some good, hearty laughs.

They actually showed two new episodes last night. First was the epic return of Cornholio (did Stewart actually get to score?), followed a couple of hours later with the boys visiting an army base on a school field trip. Pure awesomeness!

I was pleasantly surprised at how funny the 2 or 3 new episodes I've seen were.

Best part of the night was B&B trying to do their buttdance to the "So Cold in the D" song, but they had to slow it way down and couldn't do it.

I was crying laughing at that and how awful the song was.

That line made me LMAO.

I don't like the longer eps, seems like too much filler

Also F MTV for having their shows not run on a normal sched. Had to program the TiVo to add extra time.

I watched the drone one from last week. Funny stuff, but ultimately a big fail because they didn't have them accidentally kill bin laden. I thought for sure they were going to show the well-organized and coordinated attack that killed bin laden as being an accidental drone killing by 2 soon-to-be high school dropouts. That would have been much funnier.

Beavis and Butthead trying to set the rat trap is the highlight of the season so far for me so far.

Dammit, Beavis, you've watched 3 seasons of this show and you've learned nothing.

So funny. I've been subjected to Jersey Shore only because of B&B and that is truthfully the only way I would ever watch it :)

Finally caught up on this a little this weekend and loved what I saw. I liked how the "plots", if you can call them such a thing, are still silly and contrived, I was a little worried they'd try to bring for substance to this show. It's different than family guy or the simpsons, the stories and situations aren't themselves really funny at all, it's just a one or two note joke that's dragged out every week. That sounds like a bad thing, but it works, and it's what I love about the show.
