Oh, spot on, sir - spot on. ;o)

OK, that's a big pink message.
Wait, I've got my name plastered on 2,150 pages in the ScienceBlogs.com domain, and they haven't given me a prize already? Yeesh.
(Actually, Torbjörn Larsson has me beat by almost a thousand pages, so I should shut up now.)

Although, I have to admit, I'm a little skeeved that Family Guy implied carbon-14 dating could be used on dinosaur bones. Learn your half-lives, people!

No, it would seem Carl Sagan is still hard at work; Al Gore's recent book The Assault on Reason features a ringing endorsement from him on the back of the jacket.
While I'm excited to see Carl Sagan continue to make contributions from beyond the grave, I must confess this circumstance is not easily reconciled with my worldview...

I loved that when it aired... favorite quote

HAHA! I love Family Guy, and that is positively the best clip I've ever seen.
Posted by: abelian jeff | August 24, 2007 2:58 PM
Ah, Sagan back from the grave? Take THAT, Jesus!
Posted by: dorid | August 24, 2007 2:59 PM
weird.
The youtube movie won't play.

Jesussaurus-rex, I LOL'd.

Crap, I was comment #9. Got a ways to go to 500,000! LOL

Yes!

Apparently Carl Sagan is to science what Tupac Shakur is (was?) to rap music...
Posted by: sinned34 | August 24, 2007 3:41 PM
That was awesome! I was worried for a second that it was actually a clip from the creationist "documentary" and that they had ripped off Family Guy's animation style.
Posted by: Albert | August 24, 2007 3:56 PM
I can't wait until this edition of Cosmos appear in Wal-Marts beside the other creationist works. Thanks to McFarlane for working so many digs at this type of nonsense into his shows.

C'mon 500,000th!

Four hundreds and hundreds years old. Nice.
One of my favorite clips, along with:
Flanders at the Museum
Posted by: hickboy | August 24, 2007 5:37 PM
Great clip.
Posted by: Wrought | August 24, 2007 5:38 PM
I'm right there with them on the Mt. Dew, though. Does this make me a redneck?
Posted by: Diane | August 24, 2007 5:45 PM
I love Family Guy.
Posted by: Jeff | August 24, 2007 5:46 PM
I LOLd, too. I recently ordered the entire Cosmos series. It really is very, very good. By far the best American science program. Then this Sunday I saw a really weak Nova with Neil DeGrasse Tyson. They really have gone downhill (though I like Tyson).
Posted by: jeff | August 24, 2007 6:40 PM
Haha, I love that clip. :P

I wondered what all this "500,000" thing was about. Okay, so now I know. As Cambridge is a not-very-long train journey away from me, if I win, I'll donate it to someone outside the UK. Not that I will. Never do :-(
Hey, PZ. Is "J Myers" your trophy wife?

I thought Houston was the greatest science city. We've got warm, moist Gulf air. Who can compete with that?

I think the evidence at hand indicates that neither of us will manage to shut up.
[Fun statistic. Maybe we should model the derivatives and predict who will be most plastered in the end?]

MH, no relation, just another of the 0.083% of the U.S. population with that surname.

Re: #17. Thanks, hickboy, for that clip. "The Myth of Creation" was only missing the little "poip!" sounds to complete its Monty Python homage.
Re: #2
And how many does the odious John A Davidson have? For sheer number of words (no content) he's gotta be way up there.

I cried at the clip from Pale Blue Dot. Carl Sagan was awesome, and I wish there was an afterlife so I could meet him.
Posted by: Dylan Stafne | August 24, 2007 10:48 PM
pretty sure everyone's seen this but here's another Family Guy poke at creationism.

Yeah, this was funny alright ("Goooooooooooood"), but the most hilarious FG clips pertaining science that I remember are these.
On Evolution:

On Einstein:

OOps, you beat me to one of them, Brian, I guess that one's a classic for FG fans.
Posted by: andyo | August 25, 2007 2:58 AM
@#31, that evolution clip was hilarious... I hadn't seen it. It's amazing that this show is on Fox (shows you that despite their right winged, conservative views, all they care about is money.

It's good to see that not all cartoonists are as dumb as Scott Adams!
Posted by: Ryan Phillips | August 25, 2007 3:20 PM
That's what I like about Family Guy, where the Simpsons just make a wink-wink joke, these guys just go full-on with the profane humor. God and Jesus are regulars in the series by the way.
About Fox, actually it's the network that has had both the smartest and stupidest shows ever. It's a paradox onto itself. I mean we get Family Guy and a lead character like House, but also all the "reality" garbage.
Posted by: andyo | August 26, 2007 3:30 AM
I'm right there with them on the Mt. Dew, though. Does this make me a redneck?
Or a computer programmer...
Posted by: PMembrane | August 27, 2007 1:54 AM
This is one of my favorite Family Guy clips. Too bad this is not far off from what our dry friend, Ben Stein is advocating.
