Metrano vs. "Family Guy"

I LOVE Family Guy, however, if anyone should be suing Family Guy it's the creator of The Simpsons. You can take most Family Guy episodes and find a very similar Simpsons storyline (which are then repeat again on American Dad). Seth MarFarlane is all about pushing the limits. He will win the lawsuit and get tons of attention for his show.

Wow!!! He thinks that little piece of drivel is worth 2 Mil? I'll bet that's probably the best bit he's got too

Keep in mind that the writers get paid quite well, and the fact that they just watch T.V. and animate what they see is....sad. There are a million other things that J.C. could of been doing other then this guys act. A little bit of real writing would not have killed these guys. Now whether it was legal or not I don't know.

Coming from a Real Magician, I dont like the way they obviously did steal the act, but the guy should lighten UP. That is Not a magic act but a childish act that my nephew could outdo. Is that what is called entertainment? Do you REALLY think thjat that is worth $ 2 000 000? Why not rather get on the Case of Criss Angel and Amazing Jonathan STEALING one of Mr Escape - Steve Baker's Signature Escapes from the 80's and making as if it is their own "original" idea and still using it on one of the Mindfreak shows.

There are Worse cases of theft going on out there that seem to be going UN NOTICED!

This kinda stuff is low, This was obviously intended to be a reference to the guy and his act, some of the writers might have actually admired some of his work. But rather than see the good intentions, all this comedian sees is so-called damages. Shame good writers can't reference the work of others they admire without someone seeing money involved. I would say "What-chu talkin' bout Metrano?" but Gary Coleman might have lawyers whispering in his ear too.

It's called parody and dere aint be nowt illegal with parody,,,, frikken tv n00b.

I first saw this "act" when I was about 4 or 5...my dad used to do it all the time, and my uncle used to kill himself laughing. When I first saw the FG movie, I knew I had to jump to the phone and call...well...EVERYONE in my family...but I couldn't, since I was on the floor laughing. I don't think my dad could believe what he was seeing...but, more importantly, none of us could believe that the name Art Metrano would once again become known....as obscure a reference as it may be. I will never forget the name, from here on out, and, well, exposure is exposure. Plus, FOX isn't exactly new around the courtroom...I'm one of many that have been "asked" nicely (legal letterhead and all) to remove content from websites, or face the wrath. Godspeed, Art....you won't win, but you are now known!

Metrano is the Original he must be Paid , He was the Original and Known for this kind of act.
The Young people did know about this act for many years in the 1970's
