May 25th 2007 1:39PM If holding a grenade to a window doesn't severely injure him, nothing will.

About the baby crying; I think it was just one of those bad omen type things (like shudders are people walking over your grave in the future...or something like that).

The Simpsons: Stop, Or My Dog Will Shoot {TV Squad}

May 14th 2007 3:30PM I got a laugh when they brought the police dolphin to Cletus' domestic disturbance.

May 12th 2007 6:14PM Even past Simpsons, toad licking was done in Beavis and Butt-head's "No Laughing" on June 2, 1993

(Can't actually verify this because I didn't watch many of them; info from a wiki) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beavis_and_Butt-head)

May 12th 2007 5:57PM But viewdrix...speaking of the same Family Guy episode, Simpsons already did toad licking on February 20, 2000 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missionary:_Impossible). Oh noes! Fair trade?

What I'm trying to get at? Nothing really, all ideas are repeated at one point or another whether blatantly or just by mere coincidence.

May 12th 2007 3:45PM As Roger Meyers Jr. once said, You take away our right to steal ideas, where are they going to come from?

That aside, I love both shows; when it first aired however, I refused to watch Family Guy (assuming it was just a copy of Simpsons), but it definitely makes its own territory.

Although there are several similarities, such as the generic one dog / 2.5 kids, and the clip above; I believe there aren't that many conflicting ideas. With one exception; that dog track seen is a bit too similar to be a coincidence.

But come to think of, after 18 seasons, what hasn't the Simpsons done?

Apr 14th 2007 7:12PM I would go with less creative; it's been a few yeas since someone wiki'd themselves only to discover that they are deceased.

Apr 13th 2007 10:22AM The way I see it, looking the way they do makes them more likely to be stolen.
I can imagine people setting out to grab it regardless of what they think it is.

Apr 8th 2007 12:17AM After looking at those photos, I have a strange desire to own a bomb like ornament for my desk (a bom-omb will also suffice).
