i loved it! the show always makes bway references. Hehe i was watching with my boyfriend and i was like little shop and he was like what! oh man gotta love that show.
So awesome -- as the music started I thought "Wow, this sounds familiar...." then the shot of Chris mowing the lawn and "They are not...." sure enough - creepy old guy in the Ellen Greene dress and everything, but my favorite shot was "The kids play Howdy Doody..." and Chris shakes his head as he closes the door -- so funny!
Family Guy is awesome!
Its on right now on cartoon network!!
i watched it and just went "holy crap how did they get away with doing it shot for shot?"
Was gonna post it...but decided against it. Didn't think everyone shared my stupid Family Guy love!
I love when they do the extended musical sequences. They're never even THAT funny because often they're pretty close to the original song rather than parodies, and nobody gets them except for us theater folk. Yet these jokes appear very frequently and they're always long jokes. It's like the people over at Family Guy are saying "F*CK you neanderthal America. We love theater, we love showtunes, and we'll put as many damn showtunes in our episodes as we want!"
I squealed. So wrong, but so funny...
God, I love Seth MacFarlane...and that sexy voice of his...
The life of the wife was ended by the knife...
Wow, just... wow.
It. Was. Hilarious.
That wasn't the first LSOH reference on Family Guy. Last season, Chris had a pimple that spoke to him in an "Audrey II" voice demanding that Chris "feed me" as he "persuaded" Chris to get into "mischief."
And, the old pedophile was in that episode as well...
Family Guy is one of the funniest friggin shows on TV

I unfortunately missed this episode, but will probably see it replayed on [adult swim].
Nevertheless, yes, (referring to above) I have any of you seen the OTHER homage to LSOH... Chris ends up getting a huge zit on his face that talks and looks like Audrey II, and persuades him to do bad things out in the night.
I totally love "Family Guy" and "Southpark" in that they both pay great dues to musical theatre, in their own quirky and "let's-appreciate-it-but-making-fun-of-it" way. Good times.
Anyone seen the Family Guy Movie? "I was just lookin' for the paper boy... with his big arms. You get your fat ass back here!" God, I love the old pedo! hahahahaha (gross)

is this episode on the DVD that was just released because i just bought it and now i really want to see the episode? and what was the episode about?
Angelofmusik - Lighten up, would ya? It was a spoof...
eatlasagna - the new DVD has the pimple doing the Audrey II impression. The "Somewhere thats green" just re-aired on Comedy Central on Thursday night. It really was one of the funniest parodies they've done, particularly if you knew the movie/show.
speaking of family guy, did anyone get the kirk cameron in les mis joke beacause i sure as hell didnt and i need some explanation.
Not sure what you need explanation on... Kirk Cameron was the star of a lame-ass 80's sit com called "Growing Pains" (ABC's version of "Family Ties") and Cameron hasn't had a job since... until he was filling in on Les Miz.
i knew he was on growing pains. he wasnt actually in les mis though right?

They also did an amazing Sound of Music parody. I love how they got the exact blocking down. My brother only appreciates the Indiana Jones parodies, but the musicals are pretty clever. And only true theater people really appreciate the accuracy

Didn't Peter once say something on the show like, "If You Want To See A Bad Play, Go See Rent." LOL.
Yes, he did say something like that.
I love Family Guy (that comment aside ). It's hilarious and full of musical theatre references...what more could you want?
I just about died during the Somewhere That's Green take off!!
