H Jon Benjamin is My Hero

I'm not sure what the H stands for, it's probably "helluvafunnyguy." Jon Benjamin does the voices for a ton of my favorite shows. Home Movies, O'Grady, Dr. Katz, Science Court, Freak Show, Assy McGee, Lucy, The Daughter of the Devil, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Family Guy, and The Venture Bros. As well as several other TV and movie appearances, and writing jobs. That's quite a resume.

The guy is a genius. Perfect timing, great improv, awesome characters, need I go on. H Jon Benjamin is the man. Just wondering when he's gonna get a real job.

Simpsons Season Premier

The Simpsons season premier aired tonight on Fox. It's great to have the show back, summer seems so long with nothing but re-runs.

The opening was fantastic, they poked fun at themselves and the movie. With an appearance by Spider Pig. It was a pretty good episode, lots of great Homer scenes.

The story was, Homer got a taste of life in a Private Jet. He tried to get a job where he would be flying on a private jet. He lied and told his family he got the job. Spent his days at Krusty Burger. And hilarity ensued.

It's great to have the show back. I'm looking forward to a killer season after the success of the movie.

Family Guy Star Wars Episode

Family Guy did an hour long episode that was completely dedicated to Star Wars. I'll admit it, I'm a huge Star Wars geek, so this was very cool to see. I think they did a great job.

It was a parody of the movie, pretty much followed the story line, with a few twists. Lots of great references, I particurlarly loved the Chevy Chase appearance and the Airplane references.

The animation looked excellent. You can tell they really put the effort into it to make each scene look just like the movie. Lots of guest voices, etc. I saw coach McGuirk sitting in the cantina.

I also loved the ending where they were poking fun at Robot Chicken. Family Guy continues to be genius. Keep up the great work Seth(s).
