First episode of season 2, right? I WILL see that again. I have never laughed so hard at Family Guy than during that point of TOTAL spontaneity.

I also hope that it is 100% funny at all times. Season 3 when I got it on DVD this August was a let down. It was very hit and miss compared to the previous two.

Voice acting pays rediculously low wages compared to live action.

Ummm...actually if memory serves, Dan Castellena is one of the highest paid actors on TV and the rest of the Simpsons VA's are also very well compensated for the success of the show and their characters.

Only the regular cast who provide voices for main and/or multiple characters.

The minor character voices don't get paid nearly that much, like Maude Flanders.

Well duh. That's the way it is on any TV show, animated or not.

He was clarifying your previous statement, which could be interpreted that all VAs on The Simpsons got paid well.

I really like Family Guy, but I don't know if I'd watch it if it came back. I generally can't stand watching anything if it doesn't air on something like a weekday timeslot because I have no sense of time. Today's tuesday, right?
