Now, I love Family Guy, it's got several different types of humor (some I admittedly don't get) and they always find a new way to tick off censors and insult people looking to shoot down any freedom of speech that might offend other people. The new season doesn't seem to be too different, throwing Clue into their first episode didn't offend anyone I'm sure (and they killed off 2 characters in one episode!) but their second episode I'm sure offended a couple of republicans. All in all, I think the second episode was WAY too political and I didn't find it humorous at all. Politics are thrown into my face every day by news adds online, on T.V. and in newspapers, even the Rolling Stones just threw an issue out with Obama on the front, come on people, you're a music magazine.
Anyway, if you don't watch family guy, give it a couple of tries, if you like political humor, season 9 episode 2 is a good episode to try out, and if not, try season 9 episode 1. If you like mysteries (a la Scooby Doo and Clue) then you'll find the first episode of the season to be pretty amusing.
Hun, Rolling Stone threw out an issue, not an episode. Also, very nice writing :)
