Brian drives a Prius...

If any one was watching the 'new' Family Guy on Fox this evening; Brian's car was very similar to a Prius... Pretty cool.

UPDATE:

I'm a little slow... Check out this post instead...

Yeah, I recorded it tonight. I'll get to watch it in the morning.

My wife was pissed because she was upstairs and rather than recording it so we could watch it together, I watched it while it was recording.

Man I love that show. I just hope they don't do as many "segments" as they started doing in Season Three. In the first couple seasons, there was story. Then in season three, it seems as though they would spend as much time on side-bars as they would actual plot.

Well...

The advantage to a flashback / side bar show is that anyone can just watch and not know what preceded the current show.

It also makes it easier to syndicate the show; for example: adult swim.

On another note not related to a Prius...

It was funny how both the Simpsons and Family Guy made fun of Fox Broadcasting; Family Guy did it in the first 30 seconds of the show though...
