[edit] Mike Reiss

Mike Reiss actually makes the comment about the Family Guy opening scene on the commentary for Lisa's Sax. Also, it is obviously an All in the Family parody.

[edit] Family Guy

Why does there seem to be this obsession on the internet with who does and who doesn't like Family Guy? Does it really matter? Rubber cat 21:33, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Virgin nerd rage FTW! Seriously though, the thing that ticks me off is the snarky, nonsensical comments from Matt Stone and Trey Parker. And Al Jean never had anything positive to contribute to the Simpsons, so he irks me anyway. Other than that, I agree, Matt Groening and Seth MacFarlane are fairly friendly and their rivalry is "affectionate". What's the fuss all about? --78.16.24.52 20:46, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia revision

Al Jean's dad couldn't have been the inspiration for Homer Simpson since Jean didn't work on the Tracy Ullman show, where Matt Groening created the characters. Jean started working on the Simpsons after the spin-off, stand-alone series started. In the late 80's, when the Simpson family was created, Jean was still working on ALF. See his IMDB page.

Al Jean himself denied that his father resembled Homer Simpson, which can be heard in the DVD commentary for Season 9 in the episode "Lisa's Sax". Jean actually comments how although most of the information on him in Wikipedia is accurate, his father bares no resemblance to Homer and has a full set of hair. --Acefox 19:52, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
