Seth Macfarlane had the charisma and style of Dean Martin and Alex Borstein can hold her own with the likes of Marie Osmond, Cher, and Carol Burnett. The cameo of Marlee Matlin was a bit too long and I did cringe a little during that. But Saturday Night Live did that to me for whole seasons at a time. As for the Bea Arthur segment I think Ms. Arthur would have appreciated the comedy for what it was. Unfortunately as a pilot for a new variety show even one lull can make or break it and the Matlin segment probably is what will keep this off the air. Although I kinda hope they get a second chance at this. I thought the show was quite entertaining.

So very cringe worthy. Oh look, they said a rude word and another and another. Big deal. The audience seemed to like it though, perhaps they were being paid to watch it. I know American comedy can be bad but this really was barrel scraping at its very worst. I couldn’t finish watching this show. So very cringe worthy.

It wasn't as good as a regular Family Guy episode, but I found some of it funny. I liked that Marlee Matlin made an appearance. If anything, I would've liked to have seen Alex Borstein in more sketches. She was always great on MadTV and I thought maybe they would've had Miss Swan make an appearance. The first FG of the night was hilarious. The second one I found more meh. I must be the only one that didn’t hate the special.

No spin-off needed for this one.
