You know, I NEVER saw it when it was on. I heard a lot of buzz about it, and we netflix'd it a few years ago. In fact, when it was on, I thought it was just another lame thing on fox. I have never watched family guy either- but I can see how the idea manatees from South Park are at work here- random ball with verb, another with object and poof! We have a show! I know it is random and has quick cut scenes, but all of the actors are famous now because they are so dynamic. Jason Bateman and Michael Cera owe a lot to this show.
