...I saw the part two of that "Family Guy" two-parter. The opening several minutes actually approached being, uh, OK ("previously on Family Guy" featuring parodies of cheesy cliffhangers) and focused on Brian trying to make it in Hollywood as a writer---then it devolved into the usual level of "quality" we've all come to know and love (including the obligatory Tacky Gay/Ethnic Jokes). The second half revolved around how Brian made it in Hollywood, in a way that I wonder what Dr. Belch would think of. And like last week, another fanfic regular gets mentioned (this time, the Harbinger of the Apocalypse himself...in a reference to one of Mr. Murphy's decidedly lesser real-life "moments"...). Clearly Stewie's revenge is being secretly implemented as revenge for not being able to take over America's third-largest city and the home of White Sox baseball...uh, either that, or I have too much time on my hands :-)
And unrelated to this, the Powerpuff Girls commercial for pop tarts consisted of: Mojo Jojo trying to steal some sprinkles off of whatever new brand of pop tarts they're pushing. THe PPG's fly in with an announcer saying "will Mojo Jojo steal the sprinkles? Will the PPGs save the day?" or somesuch. The girls arrive on the scene, Mojo looks surprised, as the girls whir around him at super-speed, which sends him flying through the ceiling (and the announcer saying "he's out of there!") and knocking the sprinkles back onto the sugar-and-artificial-ingredient-laden tart. Cut to that throbbing heart background they use at the end of PPG eps, with the girls ogling the aforementioned pop-tarts-with-sprinkles. End of ad....no one except for the announcer speaks at all, and the whole thing lasts for about 10 seconds...
