I don’t watch Family Guy, but its brand of humour is okay occasionally. I saw Blue Harvest and I enjoyed the shot-for-shot remake aspect of it. I thought the scene in the trailer with the anthropomorphizing of the AT-AT walker kind of funny. Oh, and the stormtrooper in the mesh shirt was kind of funny, too.

Lighten up everyone. It looks hilarious. But the important question is what does Reed think.

@Rick: I didn’t mean to imply there were no funny parts of that episode, just that the funny parts were surrounded by straight remakes of scenes from Star Wars. And I was also referring to other episodes of Family Guy where they take some scene from a movie or tv show and just recreate it.
I did think the couch bit was funny, too.

im not a much of a fan of the family guy.

but for some reason i end up seeing like at least 2 episodes a day because for a long stretch there is NOTHING on and in any given day with any kind of cable, there are at least 7 or 8 episodes of the family guy on.

I admit, I like Family Guy, but sometimes the show suffers from thinking that parody is just putting its characters into some other pop culture reference and calling it a day. The Star Wars episode in particular suffered from it big time. At times it was just a shot-for-shot remake, with the same dialog as the original. It seemed very fanboy-ish.
