Hollywood_Yoda Offensive maybe, funny yes! If you are a fan of Seth MacFarlane's "Family Guy" and "American Dad," you will not find this any more offensive of a show than those two cartoons. Only a true fan of those two shows will love this variety show.As a promotion for "The Cleveland Show," MacFarlane and Alex Borstein created this variety show for the Fox Network. Marlee Matlin makes a guest appearance as herself after being parodied by Alex.The 'cancelled' Fox shows that Seth MacFarlane shows, "Hill Street Jews" and "Cal Johnson" are the funniest parts of the show. The theme song for 'Cal Johnson' makes no sense, yet is hilarious. Also, Seth MacFarlane dresses as the Cowardly Lion for an outtake on the film "United 93." This is a show you will want to watch again and again. It is available on the DVD of the special episode of "Family Guy," 'Partial Terms of Endearment.'

jeffreydahn Without a doubt one of the high points of my viewing schedule for 2009! Seth MacFarlane is a comic genius in the tradition of Mel Brooks, Sid Caesar, and Steve Allen. I don't understand the negative reviews, as I would think that those that watched it would be prepared for the typical edgy style of comedy seen on Family Guy. Marlee Matlin about made me fall out of my chair, particularly with her exit. I only wish I had recorded it so I could enjoy re-watching it, as I feel that this is one show we'll never see in re-runs! Darn it. Maybe next year , Seth and Alex can do a Christmas Special, or a Hanukkah show. I could think of some particularly funny bits for either of those possibilities.

krissikrissa Family Guy Presents: Seth & Alex's Almost Live Comedy Show was well as good as it gets. Is it offensive. Yes. Funny? YES!!! you bet!!! of course it's offensive that's what Seth Macfarlane is all about, Good old racism and it was great to see it in live action and they didn't spare any punches. Alex was fantastic specially in her part as the hurt Jew just completely hilarious. the dialogue between Seth and Alex kept me laughing the whole way through and the whole show was just non-stop laughter for me. I don't know if Americans will appreciate it as much as we in Europe do and seriously if you get easily offended don't watch anything Seth Macfarlane is a part of.

kchinger It wasn't worth watching. I would much rather have watched a re-run of the normal show. There were a few amusing parts, but mostly it was just annoying. The laughter was annoying, the singing was annoying, I couldn't make out a lot of what they said (poor audio), etc.I'm not sure exactly what I was expecting, but I was definitely expecting funny, and this wasn't it. The only good parts were the songs towards the end that showcased Seth's talent in switching between voices.It mostly appeared to be an ad for Fox, combined with attempting to shock viewers with jokes told by actual people instead of cartoons (didn't work on me).
