Whoa, whoa, whoa. They're only showing Season Three?! That's old news - where's Season Four?

Gigitygigggity!!

radiospan · 14-10-2005 8:41pm

Giggity indeed.

I thought they'd be showing season 4 though?

Mossy Monk · 14-10-2005 11:48pm

they probably want FOX to have enough episodes for them to do one complete run

qz · 15-10-2005 9:03pm

Just saw the ad on BBC 2 - Brian as a sniffer dog telling Quagmire he slept with 2 Filippino women and a man.

Funneh shtuff.

Creamy Goodness · 15-10-2005 9:26pm

its season 4...its just BROADCAST season 5. all the episodes that are in broadcast season 5 are still going to be on the season 4 dvd.

optiplexgx270 · 15-10-2005 10:08pm

"Season 4" was poor in my mind "Season 5" is much better like it used to be. American dad is also quite good if you are into FG

...or you can pay 19.99 for all of season three (24 episodes) on DVD.

I heard that BBC bought series 4 only. anyone no whats the story on that cos it was said on a few sites it was series 4 been shown this Sat (obviosly not). So will it have to go through series 3 then 4.

If it's any consolation amazon.com are shipping series 4 at the end of november.

TCamen · 18-10-2005 10:34pm

According to the TV & Satellite Guide for next week, BBC are indeed showing FG 'The Thin White Line', which is S3 E01, and it says '01 of 22', so that would only be S3. Whether they'll go into S4 right after isn't clear yet?

American Dad says '01 of 20' which would include all episodes of S1.

It's disappointing that they're showing older Family Guy along with American Dad. Ho hum.

Rb · 20-10-2005 1:04am

So glad I bought a dvd recorder

Zapp Brannigan · 22-10-2005 8:43pm

25 mins till it starts.

I never saw this thread, so when I looked in the RTE guide I was pleasantly surprised!

JBoyle4eva · 23-10-2005 1:25am

Oh, I watched MAerican Dad tonight: It is so funny. I thought the joke about Ikea in Iraq was brilliant.

Roar · 23-10-2005 10:58am

american dad had me in stitches..

rofl

stealing the handbag in the mall, the pencil with osama bin laden "up the pooper", the flashback scene of the goldfish's human body at the winter olympics (i nearly choked i was laughing so much)...

magic stuff..

qz · 23-10-2005 6:42pm

American Dad was alright, the goldfish is the funniest character.

"You're right, ven ze children are asleep

"

Mossy Monk · 23-10-2005 7:58pm

American Dad started off poorly imo but it has gotten so much better. keep watching it

Beekay · 26-10-2005 8:35pm

After hearing many mixed reviews about American Dad, I was pleasantly surprised.

The goldfish in the Olympic Athlete's body was hilarious, had me in stitches. As did the Iraq couple: "Put some clothes on woman!"

The pervert goldfish is very funny!

whiskeyman · 26-10-2005 10:28pm

Thought American Dad was a huge let down.

The Bollox · 26-10-2005 10:34pm

Season 3 is legendary, my personal favourite episode is "To Live And Die In Dixie" so many funny parts!

Beekay · 27-10-2005 2:34pm

Yeah,the tv guide was wrong.sorry:o

Agent Smith · 31-10-2005 1:00am

saw american dad in The States, Good, but i thought family guy was Much better,

altho i do like the Alien,....

Glazun · 31-10-2005 12:19pm

^_^ BBC2 is really kicking ass lately, isn't it. >_> Meanwhile RTÉ still show us damned Simpsons reruns.. daily.. so much so, you miss actuall new ones because you give up caring.

Anyway, Season 4 was split into 2, so it's season 4 and 5, BBC probably will get it when season5 ends.

Think RTÉ will EVER buy anything like Family Guy, South Park, American dad or something simular?

Creamy Goodness · 31-10-2005 4:51pm

don't see RTÉ buying anything like family guy but at least your guarinteed to get a classic simpsons rather risk watching sky one and catching a glimpse of a **** new one.

cousins in america got me covered for everything else though
