Family Guy: Blue Harvest



This was too funny. A gang of us were able to get a sneak peek of this at the "Family Guy: Live" performance.

Wikipedia: "Blue Harvest" is the first episode of the sixth season of the FOX series Family Guy, which originally aired on September 23, 2007.

The episode is a retelling of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, recasting the show's characters into Star Wars roles.[1] For this purpose, and for the first time in the history of Family Guy, this episode runs an hour long with commercials (47 minutes for the DVD version). It was also made to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Star Wars franchise. The name "Blue Harvest" is a reference to the title of the film ruse used to ensure secrecy and disguise the actual 1981 - 1983 production of Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.

This episode drew 10.7 million viewers on its first showing, and earned the highest Nielsen rating of any Family Guy episode since the show returned to air in 2005, making it the second most-watched episode in the series behind "North by North Quahog" which garnered 11.9 million.[2].[3]"
