I thought ‘The Man with Two Brians‘ was pretty average. The episode had some good bits, like the Jackasss parody, but nothing special compared to the rest of season 7 so far. What did you guys think?

Next week’s Family Guy is entitled “Tales of a Third Grade Nothing“.

The forth episode of Family Guy’s brand new season 7, entitled ‘Baby Not On Board‘.

‘Baby Not On Board‘ aired on Fox in the US November 2nd 2008.

In this Family Guy episode we see parodies of Back To The Future, Home Alone, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, Ghost and loads of other things I cant’ even begin to name (tell me any you spotted).

‘Baby Not On Board‘ revolves mostly around Stewie being left home alone and the antics he gets upto.

But the bit that I laughed loudest at was when Peter stands at Ground Zero in New York and says in awe:

So this is where the first guy got AIDS?!

Also In ‘Baby Not On Board‘ Peter griffin buys a discount Space Shuttle at a NASA yard sale and goes into space to escape Lois’ nagging.

I was almost in tears when he came back and said that masturbating in zero gravity is:

…great, except after a while it’s like living in a snow-globe.

‘Baby Not On Board‘ - Parodies
Family Guy ‘Baby Not On Board‘ does a parody of several films:

• Peter Griffin parodies the opening scene of Marty McFly skateboarding to school from ‘Back To The Future‘. It’s been two weeks running that Family Guy has featured a parody of ‘Back To The Future‘. I’m not complaining though, it’s one of my favourite films!
• Peter Griffin gets a massage from the couple from ‘Ghost‘ re-enacting the potter’s wheel scene on his back using his fat as faux clay.
• When Peter Griffin defends his purchase of helium filled shower curtain rings instead of train tickets home using a song; that’s a parody of ‘Planes, Trains, and Automobiles‘.
• The song the Griffins sing in the car is Bette Midler’s song ‘The Rose‘.
• Joe Swanson sings a parody of The Rifleman’s Creed as he is cleaning his wheelchair; this is a reference to ‘Full Metal Jacket‘.

Family Guy Spin-Off » The Cleveland Show
In mid September I wrote a blog about Cleveland’s upcoming Family Guy spin-off, The Cleveland Show.

In the final moments of ‘Baby Not On Board‘, Cleveland mentions to Quagmire that he’s getting his own spin-off as a perfectly understated teaser.
