What I'd Like to See in Animated TV in 2008
By Nancy Basile, About.com
This year we enjoyed two wonderful long spoofs of Star Wars on Robot Chicken and Family Guy. Both were marvelous. You could tell by watching each show that the creative teams were fanboys and that Star Wars was beloved by them. Both Robot Chicken and Family Guy are known for pop culture spoofs, but by using entire episodes to spoof one classic film, Star Wars: A New Hope, we were able to enjoy more detailed jokes and scenes, which yielded more giddiness on my part. What's next? The Godfather? Bring it on!
