Watch Family Guy Presents: Seth & Alex's Almost Live Comedy Show For Free

Just perfect...

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

"Seth & Alex's Almost Live Comedy Show" is a half-hour (well actually a bit over 20 minutes) television comedy special starring some of the big names from the successful television show Family Guy. And as long-running as that may be, this one here never got continued in almost a decade it has been since its release. There is a stage, audience, comedy numbers, some pre-recorded videos, obviously really many Family Guy references etc. But none of it is funny, especially not the extremely random Lady Gaga parody and I am far from a fan of her who could actually be offended. Pretty shocking to see that despite seeing stuff like this, they still chose MacFarlane to host the Oscars at some point. I do like Family guy, but I just cannot like the show's creator at all. He seems too full of himself most of the time and also a bit on the fake side. His female co-lead here isn't any funnier. All in all, this gets a thumbs-down from me and I do not recommend checking it out. Can't say I'm angry at all this was so short(-lived).

Without a doubt one of the high points of my viewing schedule for 2009! Seth MacFarlane is a comic genius in the tradition of Mel Brooks, Sid Caesar, and Steve Allen. I don't understand the negative reviews, as I would think that those that watched it would be prepared for the typical edgy style of comedy seen on Family Guy. Marlee Matlin about made me fall out of my chair, particularly with her exit. I only wish I had recorded it so I could enjoy re-watching it, as I feel that this is one show we'll never see in re-runs! Darn it. Maybe next year , Seth and Alex can do a Christmas Special, or a Hanukkah show. I could think of some particularly funny bits for either of those possibilities.

I seriously think Seth Macfarlane is a genius. I thought this little special was awesome and I wish it was a weekly thing, but then I am sure it would get old. The whole bit with Marlee Matlin was fabulous! I thought it was great how cool she was with the whole deal.People keep complaining about The Cleveland Show, Family Guy and American Dad and saying they are losing their quality. Funny how they are Fox's highest rated shows. ABC CBS and NBC have abandoned Sundays. I think the Macfarlane empire is one that will continue to grow for some time yet. I wish we had have seen some of the other characters. Quagmire, Cleveland and Joe were totally absent. Meg and Chris as well. Hopefully they get the chance to do a full cast show in the future.

I'm a huge fan of Family Guy, and I enjoy the edgy humor and parodies. It doesn't feel so funny when a live action program tries to do the same thing. Chuckling about the Holocaust and imitating how deaf people sound when they talk isn't funny and kinda makes my skin crawl. Amazingly unfunny for someone as funny as Seth McFarlane. It's like he was trying to rack up as many insulted groups as he could in 30 minutes. What was he thinking when he put together this show? If his point was to make it a 30 minute uncomfortable Family Guy style skit, he pulled it off. Another feather in the cap of Fox, was the network so desperate for a program in this time slot that it needed to put this slapped together train wreck on air?
