Fuck Nascar!

Because some rednecks have to turn in circles for hours I have to miss out on family guy goodness for the second time!

i demand justice!

uh oh
don't let stirfry see this thread!

Just watch Married...With Children re-runs. It's the same damn thing.

no its not the same damn thing..

this is why they cancelled futurama and family guy the first time around.

Because of Nascar?

I'm pissed about this too. Damned Nascar.

Uhh, dont they have Family Guy on every night on Adult Swim?

Not new ones.

Not the new ones...but I beilve Adult Swim will be showing them soon. Don't quote me on that.

No Family Guy two weeks in a row?

I think I have an episode I haven't seen yet on my Tivo though.

Oh motherFUCKER!

Here I was just going to go to the Fox site to make sure they weren't going to rob me Family Guy again...but sure enough. Fucking Nascar. God dammit.

Do they just pre emp it or do they just not show it in general?

They burn the to-be-played episode.

I don't care much about NASCAR anymore, but convert enough people into Family Guyites, have it rival the ratings of NASCAR, and perhaps FOX would show that instead. NASCAR is a much bigger draw than a little cartoon (fastest growing sport in America). And I know you just wanted to bitch, I'm just saying...

They will show the episode eventually you know. Be patient.

Thats the problem with showing live races if there are too many crashes then the race runs long and other shows loose out. I'm sure the folks that make The Family Guy are pretty pissed about it too.

154 fucking laps to go. How come they can't race earlier? Like at 11 or something.

I'm sure Seth has some Nascar jokes up his sleeve.

they couldn't rase earlier because the indy 500 was still being raced.

They usually are early in the afternoon. But do it being a holiday and the Indy race, this one is later.

Yeah.

I know driving around in circles is pretty pointless...but try driving around circles and taking curves at 200 miles an hour.

500 miles in a race.

4-5 MPG

=

100 Gallons of gas used per car per race.

...in engines that in addition to having poor efficiency, also don't have many of the features that reduce a car's contribution to air pollution.

Good point.

- Turning left is not a sport, no matter how fast you do it.

- I am more pissed about how FOX spent the last two months hyping the shit out of the new Sunday animation block, showed it for two weeks, then ditched it.

Fuck FOX, I'll just catch it all in June when they start replaying them on Adult Swim.

If it's anything like baseball, I'm sure that it'll just be preempted. I, for one, will be patient and wait up to see if it's still on tonight.

-TM

I'm not really that upset that there's no new Family Guy.

But fuck NASCAR anyway, just on principle.
