    Heeeeere's Stewie!

    The tyrannical tyke in the Fox animated series "Family Guy" will be the virtual host of a talk show being developed strictly for the Internet later this year.

    Stewie's show will be based on familyguy.com (http://www.familyguy.com) and other News Corp.-owned Web properties catering to the young demographics that have embraced the Fox series.

    "We think that the property is perfectly suited for that audience," Fox Interactive Media president Ross Levinsohn said Tuesday.

    He added that the idea for the show has been embraced on Madison Avenue by potential advertisers. He does not expect the program to cannibalize viewing for the Fox series or other "Family" brand extensions like DVD. Stewie wouldn't be the first animated character to get his own talk show; that distinction belongs to "Space Ghost Coast to Coast," which aired on Cartoon Network.

    Who saw Stewie beat up Brian?

    "Where's my money?!"

    Sadly the Brian/Stewie thing was the only real shining part of a mediocre episode. I have faith that they will get back on the right track, though.

    It was funny until Stewie shot Brian's knees and set him on fire. That was too much.

    To me that was when it actually got funny.

    But I guess i'm just sick and twisted.

    That episode sucked major nut on the whole...

    The shooting was okay, but the fire was too much.

    But I love the show. I'm looking forward to watching his Talk Show. :)

    I thought it was a lazy episode, with the premise relating to football season.

    At least ten minutes of the episode was stewie torturing brian (i thought it went to far with the flamethrower), the football song (which I thought was stupid) and the sissynannies song (even more stupid). Sad to say, but American Dad had better laughs last night (but FG still beats simpsons).

    I dunno, maybe I've been watching too much arrested development.

    the fight was awesome, just reminicent of mob movies where they are asking people for their money. Once it got to where Stewie promised Brian to let him kick his ass, that made it even more funny. The parachute scene in the beginning is priceless. The rest of it was mediocre but still think this season has been one of the best.

    In case people missed the obscure reference, the song was from The Music Man.
