"When I was in third grade, our teachers had us draw a picture of where we thought we'd be when we were 18. I drew a tombstone and a grave, because I thought I'd be dead."

King of Anglia

That was The Police De Do Doo, De Da Da - classic gibberish

Yup, more mid morning matters is definitely a good thing. What do you all want to see from the new UK series. I hope its like the first series of I'm Alan Partridge. He's at his best when he's reduced to his most basic self and the people around him are either indifferent or hold him in contempt.

Jame Bond is going to die

Being popular in the UK, hasn't affected Alan Partridge too negatively. AP is one of the few cult characters whose just as good even though he now has mainstream attention, he's never diluted his act or lost any of his original followers. Quite a rare achievement (basically he's not Ricky Gervais)

Does it. Well the BBC have managed to keep that pretty secret as I had no idea. The BBC seems to be pretty crap at advertising decent culturally relevant TV shows.

I hate the term 'middle America' almost as much as I hate terms like 'white trash'. Its such a mean spirited, patronizing thing to say.

Do watch it and don't be put off by the shitty trailers. They are in no way an accurate portrayal of what this film is actually like

I was at the Premier of this in Norwich (this is actually my birth city) which is where this movie is set. Quite a weird experience, AP is one of my all time favourite characters, so watching the premier with Steve Coogan was really exciting for me but the rest of the audiences reaction was decidely 'meh'. There…

I thought the film was good and they done a serviceable job of bringing AP to a larger audience whilst still keeping the original fans happy (only thing they done was tone Michael down a little, he was nearly incomprehensible in the UK series but would have been literally incomprehensible to some American audiences…

Mmm, I think they done a good job of sanding down his nastier traits too. Theres a bit of a comedy tendency to make the nastier characters a bit tragic but with an underlying kindness, one thing I kind of respected about the show was they didn't try to make him in any way redeemable, he had zero self-awareness and he…

yup, something like that, I think that was the average monthly cost of caring for a child at the time. The joke being its one of those facts that lots of viewers know, but they feel like they are the only one that knows, so they feel smug for a few seconds and adopt the stance of someone who is about to be proven…

I liked this episode and the shot of 'King Sized Homer' flying through the air in his floral print dress and 'fat guy hat' at the beginning of the opening titles should bump this episode a full letter grade

'Plus, in the post-classic era, guest stars usually just play a dumb-ass
version of themselves rather than an original character, which also
annoys me.'

I loved this episode, I'd give it an A-.

'Speaking of American Dad!, I bet they could've done an episode like this pretty well.'

Really? Does Family Guy still get higher rating than American Dad? Genuinely surprised if that is the case
