Blog Buddy Work
1. Where has your Blog buddy shown strong analytical work (be specific—is it a particular post, a type of analysis, a site for analysis that seemed to click more so than others, etc)? I liked the post about Family Guy: Blatantly Misogynist or Just Not Funny? i think there was a lot of analytical comments in that. I liked that the post showed that their was no real focus on women and that the whole idea of family guy was satirical to everyone.
2. How could your Blog buddy use this strength for the final Blog post and presentation?
Show the way different audiences that look at this topic. How different audiences can interpret the same show many different ways.
3. Think about the following statements in relation to your Blog buddy’s Blog and then provide feedback on each area (constructive praise/criticism): I think you did I really good job addressing the assignments however you might want to use more literary evidence to support your posts.
The Blog is on a topic that has been clearly evident in the Blog posts throughout the semester
yes
The Blog is on a topic that seems to interest my Blog buddy
yes
My Blog buddy’s topic is one that has produced a good set of posts that were analytical used gender as a primary category of analysis
yes
The posts make analytical arguments. The posts are understandable and each post logically outlines and supports the argument presented. The posts were clear, provided insight, evidence, and analysis to connect the topic with the assignment for each of the posts
yes
The sources cited in each post are relevant to the topic and help to aid the understanding of the argument and/or assisted in proving the argument.
I didn't see too many citations, but the ones that were used were relevant and clear, maybe I just missed them.
The quotes used illustrate a broad range of course readings throughout the semester.
yes
The quotes were clear and succinct; additionally, the material was presented so that I could differentiate the Blog buddy’s ideas from that of the author cited.
yes
4. Finally, complete the following:
I thought it was great when you...
kept the layout clean and easy to use. I like the format of your blog. The posts are a good length and there isn't too much "stuff" that doesn't need to be there
I found it confusing when you…
I think there were no confusing aspects
You’re really great at…
Using the detail of the show to analyze the topic at hand
I wish you could focus (more) on/alter/edit/explain/expand on/etc these three things…
(Basically, when you read the Blog posts, what do you wish your buddy had done differently, more of, etc?) a little more of the literature, but I think it is really good

Family Guy in the news
Ever since the show aired in 1999, Family Guy has been stirring up controversy. While most of it was not ground breaking or headline news, they had their fair share of complaints about the shows content. From jokes about disabled people to alcoholics, the show left no controversial stone unturned. It finally made a big no-no during season 3 when an episode was refused airtime from the FOX network. The episode was deemed especially controversial not just because of it made jokes about the Jewish religion, but because the entire episode was focused around these jokes.
The writers of Family Guy are always stirring up some sort of controversy with different groups, but this episode went over the top because its entire plot was centered on making fun of a religion. This was the main reason why it created a stir in the television world. While the episode did not air when it was originally scheduled to it still made news and when it was finally broadcast in a toned down version it still excited some controversy.
While the episode did not create headlines across the country, it was relatively big news in the eyes of many. According to allexperts.com the episode was not aired was because it was “deemed inappropriate under accusations of anti-Semitism” by the executives at FOX. The script of the show was read by two rabbis and actually written by a Jewish writer but that was not enough to get the show broadcast.
What people need to understand about this show is that no area goes untouched. The
Family Guy writers do not single out any specific groups to joke about; they make fun of almost everyone at one point or another. This episode does seem to go a little far, but in the end a lesson is learned, unlike in many other episodes.
