Softwing
Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Offensive maybe, funny yes! If you are a fan of Seth MacFarlane's "Family Guy" and "American Dad," you will not find this any more offensive of a show than those two cartoons. Only a true fan of those two shows will love this variety show.As a promotion for "The Cleveland Show," MacFarlane and Alex Borstein created this variety show for the Fox Network. Marlee Matlin makes a guest appearance as herself after being parodied by Alex.The 'cancelled' Fox shows that Seth MacFarlane shows, "Hill Street Jews" and "Cal Johnson" are the funniest parts of the show. The theme song for 'Cal Johnson' makes no sense, yet is hilarious. Also, Seth MacFarlane dresses as the Cowardly Lion for an outtake on the film "United 93." This is a show you will want to watch again and again. It is available on the DVD of the special episode of "Family Guy," 'Partial Terms of Endearment.'

Without a doubt one of the high points of my viewing schedule for 2009! Seth MacFarlane is a comic genius in the tradition of Mel Brooks, Sid Caesar, and Steve Allen. I don't understand the negative reviews, as I would think that those that watched it would be prepared for the typical edgy style of comedy seen on Family Guy. Marlee Matlin about made me fall out of my chair, particularly with her exit. I only wish I had recorded it so I could enjoy re-watching it, as I feel that this is one show we'll never see in re-runs! Darn it. Maybe next year , Seth and Alex can do a Christmas Special, or a Hanukkah show. I could think of some particularly funny bits for either of those possibilities.

Family Guy Presents: Seth & Alex's Almost Live Comedy Show was well as good as it gets. Is it offensive. Yes. Funny? YES!!! you bet!!! of course it's offensive that's what Seth Macfarlane is all about, Good old racism and it was great to see it in live action and they didn't spare any punches. Alex was fantastic specially in her part as the hurt Jew just completely hilarious. the dialogue between Seth and Alex kept me laughing the whole way through and the whole show was just non-stop laughter for me. I don't know if Americans will appreciate it as much as we in Europe do and seriously if you get easily offended don't watch anything Seth Macfarlane is a part of.

I'm a huge fan of Family Guy, and I enjoy the edgy humor and parodies. It doesn't feel so funny when a live action program tries to do the same thing. Chuckling about the Holocaust and imitating how deaf people sound when they talk isn't funny and kinda makes my skin crawl. Amazingly unfunny for someone as funny as Seth McFarlane. It's like he was trying to rack up as many insulted groups as he could in 30 minutes. What was he thinking when he put together this show? If his point was to make it a 30 minute uncomfortable Family Guy style skit, he pulled it off. Another feather in the cap of Fox, was the network so desperate for a program in this time slot that it needed to put this slapped together train wreck on air?
