I WAS THERE I WAS THERE. They left out the fact that the food was fabulous. And that Family Guy has been renewed through 2015.

Family Guy will be renewed until Futurama is renamed Presentrama.

I like Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job (though I HATE Tom Goes to the Mayor), but yeah, SofMM and Fat Guy sound like things best left to sketches on Robot Chicken.

I accidentally gave awesome show a chance because we were too lazy to change the channel.

As opposed to naming it Presentrauma.

It definitely not perfect, or even consistently funny, but they did a gorilla bit where they threw cold hot dogs from a parade float into a crowd. And that means something to me.

... I think it's something good.

Presentrauma sounds like a psychological disorder for people who repeatedly get shitty gifts. "Oh God! This sweater! To gaze upon it was to know madness!"

Lucy, the Daughter of the Devil sounds entertaining. Hope it doesn't suck!
