On Wednesday, August 6, Cartoon Network will FINALLY open the vault and give us what we demand: an airing of "When You Wish Upon A Weinstein"! This episode is not schedule to play on TBS, as it isn't on the schedule through the end of September. Call your friends now, this is a world premiere a month before the Vol. 2 DVDs come out!
Set Your Darn VCRs NOW!

A month before the Vol. 2 DVD comes out? Was that a mistake or do you live on the moon? Sorry for being such a dick. ;o)
What the hell are you talking about? The Vol. 2 DVD with said ep. comes out on September 9th. It airs on 8/6. That's about a month. Really, what the hell are YOU yapping about?

(It works both ways. Movies tend to be released in R1 first because they're released in theaters in R1 first; TV series - especially half-hour ones - are released outside of R1 first (by years, in a number of cases) because the production companies are afraid that DVD sales would cut into the number of people who would watch the shows (and the commercials that go with them) in "local" five-days-a-week repeats. Shows like Family Guy that don't have enough episodes to make selling them to local stations feasible (so they end up on a cable station) get onto R1 DVD faster.
However, your comment, "Three guesses on when the R1 DVD of Family Guy sesons 2 comes out, and I'll even give you a Mulligan", is still a little confusing in context.

Hmmmm, just checked TVGuide.com. Here is the August 6th schedule (for EST). 2:30 PM - A Picture's Worth A Thousand Bucks, 11:30 PM - Brian Does Hollywood
Where did you get your information? You made it sound so convincing.

Right. When adultswim.com finally got its schedule back up, I was SHOCKED to see "Brian Does Hollywood" on 8/6 (although greatly delighted if you saw my Top 5 post--if not, go read it now!). I read from the episode guide at tvtome.com (<<http://www.tvtome.com/FamilyGuy/guide.html>>) that:
"July 18, 2003
"When You Wish Upon a Weinstein" finally has an airdate! Cartoon Network's online schedule has it listed to air on August 6th, at the usual time of 11:30 PM.

The Ghost of General Lee ([email]) previously said the following crap:
But for folks who don't have access to binary newsgroups/ Kazaa/Region 2 DVDs then yeah, its a "world premiere" for them.
Yeah, well, uh...uh...we kicked your ass in TWO straight wars & bailed you out of two others! So there!
(Brits: I'm kidding. Let's not fritter time away arguing the facts.)

Uh, your history is a bit shaky there. I presume the first two wars you're talking about are the American Revolution and the War Of 1812. It would be fair to say that you kicked the Britain's ass in the former, in the War Of 1812 Britain helped Canada kick the US's ass.
hmm what r these wars?

What about the Battle of New Orleans, the final battle of the war when the US destroyed the British down in the bayou?

Well, to be honest, who "won" that war depends on how you look at it. The US "won" in that they didn't lose any land to the British. However, they also "lost" in that they failed in their attempt to take Canada away from the British. If you look at the war as a British attempt to reclaim the States (as American schools tend to teach), then the US clearly won. However, if you look at it as the US trying to seize Canada (as Canadian schools teach but US scholls tend to overlook), then the Canadians and British were the victors.
So how about we call it a draw?
And truthfully, both views hold some validity
umm u helped the french while we were helpin french... now ur monkey of a president always looks to us for support.
right ...
