Default Carol Burnett Not Amused by 'Family Guy' Parody
I mean, Come on. If this was the case every show from the 70's and 80;s would be sueing Family Guy. How many refernces are made in that show, I cant even count


Carol Burnett has filed a $6-million lawsuit against Fox Broadcasting, charging that the network infringed on her copyright and misappropriated her likeness when it included an animated version of her cleaning woman character on its animated sitcom Family Guy. Burnett objected to an 18-second scene in which the character, working in a porn shop to "keep it clean," tugs her earlobe while a bit of music resembling the theme from Burnett's variety show is played. She said in the filing that she had previously rejected a request by the show's producers to use the actual music. Responding to the lawsuit, Fox observed that Family Guy frequently includes pop-culture parodies, adding, "We are surprised that Ms. Burnett, who has made a career of spoofing others on television, would go so far as to sue Family Guy for a simple bit of comedy."

She needs some money since she hasn't been working lately so it was time to sue someone.

I'm not amused with family guy either. Wonder if I can get some money.

The jokes are so lame these days. Bring back the good family guy jokes from a few seasons ago...

Played the Family guy game this weekend with a friend for a few hours, ok for 7 hours.

Anyways was pretty funny in some parts, or maybe because it was 4 am and we were tired. Inside the casino was definitly racist.

My favorite sign

Custards Last Dessert Stand

Like I said I was tired

I guess I'm the only one that finds the show funnier now than it was before.

family guy makes fun of too many people for this case to be taken care of.

I don't find it that great anymore as well i would still watch it but i don't care if i miss a new episode or 2.
