I like to think I have half of her savvy when dealing with my ignorant boyfriends.
Most of my guy friends think I should be offended by the show because I am a woman and this is a "guy's show." Let me tell you, this is not the case at all. Everyone in one form or another can relate to it. This is why everyone will find something funny about this show.
In fact, the scope of the references range from cheesy 80's TV to political commentary to Broadway. The "Road" episodes are a hysterical throw back to the Crosby/Hope movies, which is a reference I usually have to explain to my friends though they often must explain a few that I miss. The musical numbers in this cartoon revive a dying art.
Not only can he speak in these individual voices, he can sing in them, and very well I might add. I am currently receiving my masters in speech pathology so I find his ability particularly interesting. When I discovered how many voices he actually performed, I was floored. First of all, his versatility is unlike anything I have ever heard. I absolutely must comment on the incredible voice talent done for this show, most especially the amazing creator himself, Seth MacFarlane. Fox can show something as tawdry and humanly degrading as Temptation Island, but Family Guy was too racy? Riiiight. I never understood why it was taken off the air in the first place. Not only does this program far surpass most of the comedies on television, it has the guts to hit topics that most of the overly sensitive public shies away from. I cannot even begin to discuss how ridiculously smart and outrageously funny is this show.
