I watched the show. Frankly it reminded me of why I stopped watching Family Guy years ago. It just wasn’t funny.
Hysterical episode and I personally thought it made Limbaugh a little more “human.” I was admittedly shocked at Brian’s change of heart, but I’m sure McFarlane and the gang will be back at channeling dead hippies next week.
We watched the show last night and it just was not funny. It could have been hysterical, very disappointing.
Hulu links, etc. to watch:

This is the frist time I have ever watched. In the end, when Rush leaves, he promises to return as the Liberals sterotype of a stupid conservative oaf they know us all to be. In the end, they frame it the way they want: Rush loses.

Hilarious show again...equal hits all around...FG is the Henny Youngman of animated shows...rapid fire bits with hits and misses throughout...magritte
This was the first episode of this show I watched and I thought it was very funny. The liberal mother was particularly skewered!
The ending shows Rush in a great light, summing up the whole episode as being able to self-deprecating while holding firm to his beliefs. After all, it was the liberal who flip-flops, not Rush!
The main character (and most everyone else) is black.
One of the main character's quotes: "Barack Obama doesn't care about black people."
The whole first episode was a massive trashing of Obama.
I was shocked, I tell you, shocked.
I tried, but man is that a childish cartoon with poor writing, of course with the dirty humor that some junior high boys would find “cool”.
I liked part of it (Pelosi with the crack pipe, Rush kicking butt with the “multi-racial gang” and saving Brian, and Rush turning into an eagle in the end), but the “Jew” comments and his comment about “brain-dead women on expensive life-support machines” (obvious reference to Terri Schiavo) were disturbing. I’m surprised Rush agreed to voice those words...
I disagree with the comments about the ending. Maybe you turned the channel early. Rush running down the street - the leaps and turns into an eagle - which then flies up to a large American Flag in the air - and then a few strains of The National Anthem.
I thought that was a complimentary ending.
Did I get that wrong?
However, the end was handled differently: Brian was understood to just be Brian, that's who he is, and Rush was revealed to be a soaring Eagle flying high over his protectorate of America, and it takes a little memory to remember who Brian is: A Marxist dog agitator, that spends his life complaining about the free food, and trying to bugger Lois, the wife of his meal ticket. Yep, that's Brian.
Just saw the show on Hulu. I like good humor as much as the next guy, but that show got very few laughs from me. I didn’t like them portraying W as an idiot and in Rush’s own words, calling Jon Voigt a crazy right winger. IMO, I don’t think Rush did himself and conservatives any favors.
I could not believe that they actually went after poor Terry Schiavo again. That was so sad.
I nearly fell off the couch when they cut to Nancy Pelosi smoking crack. LOL!!

FYI FOX is re-running this show tonight.
