Family Guy: Jumped the Shark?

Thursday April 28, 2011

Peter GriffinFamily Guy has aired off and on for a little over a decade. There are fans who think the show is genius, breaking boundaries and telling it like it is. There are others who started as fans, and now they're bored by the flashback or pop culture jokes that have nothing to do with the story. Finally, there are folks that just can't stand the show.

New Apple Product on South Park

Wednesday April 27, 2011

South ParkSouth Park's 15th season premiere begins tonight at 10:00 p.m. ET on Comedy Central. Based on the picture I saw from tonight's episode that I was too shy to post here, you must watch "HUMANCENTiPAD." In the episode, Kyle is intimately involved in the development of a revolutionary new product that is about to be launched by Apple. (Does the electrical current travel through humans? Why are their knees so bloody?) Meanwhile, Cartman doesn't even have a regular iPad yet. He blames his mother.
