Stewie Griffin iPod ad
Last night while watching The Family Guy on Fox I was very surprised (and equally amused) to see character Stewie Griffin's "iPod commercial." For a few seconds he was dancing around in a sequence much like Apple's famous ads. Pretty funny, and got me thinking of the other prime time cartoons I can remember lately featuring Macs and Apple products. Homer Simpson has been portrayed as using a fruit-colored computer on more than one occasion, as have characters on the ill-fated "Futurama." Seems that a lot of animators (or writers) are staring at Macs all day.Share

There are two more comics that use Macs. One is Sally Forth and she is in a corporation and the other is Non-Sequitur. Both feature Mac looking computers when they display computers. I also was flipping channels and caught an old episode of Dawson's Creek (?) the one with Katie Holmes and they were working on the school newspaper on Macs.
