This show is genius. Anyone not watching it - you don't know WHAT you're missing.
Even the vomit scene had me cracking up - and that usually grosses me out.

Posted: 7/10/05 at 9:26pmWas that a semi-Avenue Q ref? Mix tape?
#9re: Les Mis ref. on Family Guy!
Posted: 7/10/05 at 9:29pmI thought of avenue Q too. Who saw the Sound of Music reference on one of the earlier episodes with stewie as Liesl and So Long Farewell performed. So funny. Stunt casting spoof on les miz was so on target too. :)

Yes, this was the first show of the season!
LOVE IT!

Posted: 7/10/05 at 9:32pmyes - great spoof - though R&H society (or whatever) wouldn't let them do a PARODY, so they did it straight, which in and of itself was hilarious.

Posted: 7/10/05 at 9:33pmDidn't the Simpsons also spoof stunt casting with Mark Hamill in Guys and Dolls or something?

Posted: 7/10/05 at 9:36pmR&H Society? They wouldn't let them do a spoof on Sound of Music, but it's fine for KING & I? Honestly, I don't think they need permission to do a parody. Just look at Forbidden Broadway and SNL and MadTV.

Posted: 7/10/05 at 9:37pmI read it somewhere - that they wouldn't let them do an out and out parody. I don't know how they got away with the King and I one...

It was brilliant! I haven't watched the show in over a year and by chance, I caught it tonight.
Hehe Kirk Cameron as Valjean. Ew!

Yep, Seth MacFarland (creator and several voices) said on that episode's DVD commentary that the SoM parody's lyrics had to be submitted to the Rodgers and Hammerstein Foundation in advance for their approval, so they took extra care to make sure it wasn't overtly offensive or making fun of the material.
I know parody is protected by law, but maybe Fox just wanted to be extra sure not to offend anyone? Kind of like Weird Al Yankovic - he asks permission (and pays royalties) to everyone he spoofs.
