Not All Dogs Go to Heaven

I would've liked this is Brian was only judged by his family, not being called worse Adolf Hitler by the news. It also makes Meg very unlikable.

There seems to be many reviews filled with howls of anguish after some gentle mocking of their Bronze Age beliefs, but Seth MacFarlane cannot be blamed for this heresy. The episode was written by Danny Smith, who has written scripts for many shows, including "Third Rock from the Sun," so perhaps The Anointed should boycott those shows too!

I thought that the episode was hilarious, particularly the mocking of Star Dreck (another religion). Considering that Seth MacFarlane's biggest project thus far was The Orville series, he seems to be remarkably tolerant of the parody, or maybe he was inspired by it!

First, I am a Christian. Second, I do have a sense of humor.

I loved the South Park episode "Bloody Mary." It is mostly a satire of Alcoholics Anonymous, but the Catholic Church was highly offended by this episode because it featured a statue of the Virgin Mary "bleeding out her ---." Nevertheless, it was a hilarious episode, and I highly recommend it to anyone willing to appreciate it.

I've been watching South Park for years because of two reasons: 1) It's funny. 2) South Park knows how to satirize without personally offending any group of people. Sure, they've taken their potshots at celebrities and other individuals (deservedly so), but they've largely avoided making blanket statements about groups of people. You won't hear them say, "All Republicans are ignorant rednecks" or "All Democrats are patronizing hippies." This is how South Park has managed to stay relevant and popular for years.

And if South Park satirized religion, they didn't personally insult the believers. Seth MacFarlane broke this unwritten rule. Brian's speech at the end of this episode was akin to saying, "Your religion is wrong and you are an idiot for believing in it."

Never mind the fact that the quality of Family Guy episodes had been deteriorating for years since its renewal. I kept watching because I hoped that it could return to its pre-2005 comedy form. Everyone remembers the Kool-Aid guy screaming "Oh Yeah!" in the courtroom. When did Family Guy stray from its roots to start preaching religion and politics?

I was also quite disappointed that the Star Trek: TNG cast wasn't more prominently featured in this episode. I love TNG, and I had hoped that the cast would be the "A" storyline. Years ago when the show was in its infancy, they might have been.

So although this show was dying for years, it was this episode that finally turned me off. I found myself watching the "Simpsons" again. Give it a try; you might realize and appreciate all the subtle, clever humor you've missed for years with this show.

In this episode, Brian says he's an atheist. Apparently everyone is shocked by that... (I guess no one else is an atheist) So Brian becomes a hated person after Meg tells everyone about it. Then Brian pretends to not be an atheist and Meg takes him to a book burning. And then Brian tells Meg there is no god because Meg is ugly. That is a horrible thing. And if that's not bad enough, Meg believes Brian! Brian is just a jerk here and he never gets punished for saying what he said. Even without that scene, I would still dislike the episode, but since they added in that scene, it just made me give this episode a 1/10.

I can almost see everyones point. It IS kind of offensive. And it would be easier to take if he wouldn't take his views so seriously. Having said that, I still crack up when I watch it.

But thats the main problem with the left. They are so use of making fun of the right that they think they are the intellectual be all end alls in the country. Not so.

They need to take a page from the middle aged white guy play book and laugh at themselves once in awhile. Does he read this? Not likely. But it wouldn't hurt.

And he does make fun of atheists. Brian admits to believing JUST to get a drink.
