Anyone se the premiere tonight of the new show from Seth McFarlaine of FAMILY GUY fame?

Dad'a a CIA agent, they have a goldfish that talks with a German accent and is in love with the mom (sort of a combination of Brian and Stewie), and a space alien who sounds like Paul Lynde.

There was a joke about a new musical based on the works of the J. Geils Band!

I watched this with mixed feelings. The jokes were all funny but the characters all seemed to be a mix-and-match of Family Guy without Stewie. I did love the "Oh, What a Beautiful Morning"-esque theme song.

A complete rip-off of Family Guy, the creators( Also Family Guy Creators) Just switched the characters of family guy around, gave them new names, and jobs.

I watched it with the lowest expectations possible so I was not displeased. It did have some funny jokes, but I knew it was going to rip off of its popular predecessor.

The 'family with strange roomates' plot is ripped from Family Guy, but there are less flashbacks; the story is more forward. It was funny, but not as good as Family Guy. I did enjoy 'Pearl Bailey High School'. Updated On: 2/7/05 at 04:32 PM

A Stinker! Although I did like the idea of a J Geils Songbook musical. Let's spin the alien off into his own show. He was funny.

It's just "Family Guy", just instead of a dumb factory worker, they have a dumb CIA agent. And instead of an intellectual baby, they have an intellectual alien.

Meh. I liked it okay. But given the choice between that and "Family Guy," I'd pick the latter.
