But my point is, you can spoof and parody shows -- Family Guy wouldn't exist without it, and it was the backbone of the Burnett Show. You canNOT use copyrighted material without permission. So while Burnett and Co. would have spoofed Gone With the Wind, if they couldn't get the permission to use the song from the movie they'd have to use a different one, and they understood that. Yet while stopping another guy from doing the very thing they're doing on Family Guy, Fox used copyrighted material in their show, which is illegal. Burnett isn't suing them because they parodied her charwoman character, but because they used her song without permission.Nikki Staffordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04463618183850438914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-7685798489571940642007-03-19T19:16:00.000-04:002007-03-19T19:16:00.000-04:00If I could play devil's advocate, wasn't Carol Bur...If I could play devil's advocate, wasn't Carol Burnett's entire career devoted to making spoofing other movies, shows, music?

Hopefully NBC gives it a real chance to develop a following.

Hopefully they rerun it.poppedculturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12489589165185325301noreply@blogger.com
