The creators must have well aware of the reaction a certain moment in Bun Control would have. :p

Meanwhile, I'm sure older anime fans would notice the Mazinger Z reference in the clip.

Already better episodes than Season 1. Can't wait to see those 'rejected characters' in Episode 6, and how the Warners will tackle Christopher Columbus and Ben Franklin.

This looks like a far less political season than the first, so that's good news. Well, except for "Brain wants to become a dictator"- I could totally see that referencing current events.

Glad we'll be seeing more of Starbox & Cindy and Gnome!

Isn't that what Brain has been trying to do throughout the entire franchise (i.e. "trying to take over the world" = "become a dictator")?

Pinky and the Brain get conjoined? Apparently this happened to Elmyra and the Brain in "Teleport-a-Friend".

The failed Pinky and the Brain pilots, please let Larry be in one of them. As for the old adversary, could it be Snowball. I know his intelligence was removed, but a good villain is never defeated for good.

But no matter what, bring back Larry bring back Larry.

It was, but (without getting too political) the concept of dictators is making something of a comeback in certain countries in the last decade or so. I could see Brain finding inspiration in real life modern examples, which of course would be political. That's what I was referring to.

Now this is gold! November 5th can't come any sooner. Still not big on the Korean animation, though.

I have to lay low for awhile. I need to take a break from this for right now, but I'll be back soon.
Bought Cat City (1986) on Prime today. Never seen it before, looking forward to watching it!
Super Metroid on the SNES turns 30 today in North America.
The sub-only anime releases in North America are the invention of the 2010s.
Not all of Family Guy has aged well (and he knows this - hell, he's friends with the PTC president now) but I genuinely think Seth MacFarlane is a really good guy.
