Burning as brightly as ever

Film title: Family Guy Season 6
Director: Various
Starring: Seth McFarlane, Alex Borstein, Seth Green
Certificate: 15
Is it better to burn out or fade away? Although it may lack the longevity of the family friendly Simpsons, season six of Family Guy sees levels of profanity and political incorrectness reach new heights of hilarity, and proves the show is definitely burning as brightly as ever. Ludicrous storylines covered this season include prostate exam/anal rape confusion, Peter's aspirations of redneck status and Lois's dangerous liaisons with a certain Mr Clinton. But without doubt the most disturbing, and therefore hilarious, scenario is Stewie's newfound adoration for his arch-nemesis mother after she saves his beloved teddybear Rupert from the jaws of death. Although season six goes that extra mile to horrify viewers – the scene in which Peter confuses Stewie's face for various parts of his wife's body comes to mind – Family Guy proves it can still do the odd clean joke and make you giggle till you pee and poop.
