'Family Guy' to Spoof Indiana Jones and Back to the Future Next

I’ll admit it I enjoy the occasional Family Guy episode. It’s silly, broad, referential gag comedy but it’s aware of this fact and is good at being itself. The Star Wars special was alright, I wouldn’t say anything miraculous. I still don’t understand how Lucas let them do it, but he did. When they announced a Star Wars parody sequel (to Empire Strikes Back) I thought, “Fine, it’s a major part of the cultural lexicon, understandable.”

But this has gone too far. I can stomach Peter as Indy in a 30 second clip but for a 30 minute episode, that’s just too much. Chris as Marty McFly being seduced by Lois? Does any of that sound appealing? Stop doing full length parody episodes Seth Macfarlane, I know you don’t understand the word “overkill” but you should really look it up.
