The Corner: Yesterday's episode wasn't just unfunny, it was very poorly animated - a 1970s Hanna-Barbera-level of crudeness. The sequence in which Lenny's car was crushed looked like it had been drawn by a 10 year-old trying to draw The Simpsons. I can only assume they're devoting all their time and effort to the movie.
As for BSG, I agree with Jonah's long-trusted reader and had exactly the same argument, err, discussion with my wife during the episode. Far more fun was Doctor Who in the hour beforehand, which involved Rose berating a pompous psuedo-patriot for not knowing how to fly the Union Flag and also included an interesting nod to the realization that families need fathers at the end...
Michelle Malkin: I got tons of e-mail about the military-bashing Simpsons episode last night. Here's a bit of the video if you haven't seen it and want to get in a bad mood. The mockery of Army recruiters and enlistees is absolutely disgusting. This comes on the heels of last week's election-timed episode mocking the Iraq war.
The show is getting long in the tooth and low on funny. Don't bother with it.
Keep on fighting the good fight

You've given out ice cream backstage at numerous festivals. Who are some of the artists who have enjoyed your treats and what are some of your favorite moments in how is it received by them?
There have been so many. I just remembered the other day that I once gave Matt Groening and his son some ice cream. He gave me his business card and it had a big picture of Homer Simpson's head on it. That was cool.

- "I've talked to (creators) Matt Groening and Seth MacFarlane about it and both are very respectful of the other's show. Matt has said he's thrilled that Family Guy has come back. And when we have Simpsons gags in our show, Seth will call Matt up and ask, `Is it okay if we do this?' So there's mutual respect." Buh?
- TV pundits talk of a generational divide between Family Guy's high school/university audience and the millions who've embraced The Simpsons for 19 seasons. Zuh?
- Michels served a long stint with Homer & Co., moving from background artist in the first season up the ladder eventually to director - he helmed 11 episodes, including the classics "Brother From Another Series" and "Homer to the Max." He absconded to The Family Guy for its second season in 1999 and took the reins for last year's DVD-only companion, Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story. Snuh.
