The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

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.'

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.

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).

I'm a huge fan of Family Guy, and I enjoy the edgy humor and parodies. It doesn't feel so funny when a live action program tries to do the same thing. Chuckling about the Holocaust and imitating how deaf people sound when they talk isn't funny and kinda makes my skin crawl. Amazingly unfunny for someone as funny as Seth McFarlane. It's like he was trying to rack up as many insulted groups as he could in 30 minutes. What was he thinking when he put together this show? If his point was to make it a 30 minute uncomfortable Family Guy style skit, he pulled it off. Another feather in the cap of Fox, was the network so desperate for a program in this time slot that it needed to put this slapped together train wreck on air?
