Carol Burnett Sues Family Guy

Posted by Zach on Friday, March 16, 2007 in In the press

Carol Burnett, a woman who has made a living off spoofing popular culture, is suing 20th Century Fox over a copyright infringement. In April 2006, a Family Guy episode showed Burnett’s character Charwoman as a woman cleaning an adult store. Apparently, Burnett feels that this spoof is worth a $2 million lawsuit.

    Um, I was wondering why both the Planet Family Guy and the Planet American Dad sites haven’t been updated yet. Anyways, for the American Dad! website, details on Volume 2 have been released. It will be released on May 15, 2007. And it will contain about 19 episodes (Stannie Get Your Gun to Best Christmas Story Never).

    Anyways, thought I’d let you know.

    Carol Burnett needs to just relax and get a sense of humor or her career was just a fluke and hypocritical.

    Carol Burnett is no where near broke as far as money or humor!! she is just being a pain in the ass where are they now, no attention celebs that want there name shown anyway they can. Maybe

    I thought that Carol Burnett was a comedian. She is definitely a hypocrite. I used to love her show. Now I cannot hear her name without thinking about this. Carol Burnett, you have disappointed me greatly. I used to see you as a person with a sense of humor. Now I see who you really are. Every laugh that I spent on you was a total waste. I might never get them back but I can definitely just forget about you.
