In a Hail Mary effort to remind the public that the 79 year-old - school entertainer is not dead yet, parody maverick Carol Burnett has sued the Simpson-lite cartoon, Family Guy (FG) for $2 million dollars. 
Following in the footsteps of Generation-Rx Lawyer Howard K. Stern of taking tragedy to the bank: Burnett's legal team---who successfully sued and won a case against The Enquirer --- will not get a penny this time around. Protected under parody=fair use, and under existing copyright law, this case will be thrown out. More than that, does anybody really think Carol actually watches the mean- spirited Family Guy.
The last time anyone was interested in all things Harvey Korman -Tim Conway -Carol Burnett and her G-rated satires "As The Stomach Turns" and "Starlet O'Hara", was the middle ages of the 1960.
Since her fan base are all senile in Nursing homes now, in the words of Stewie Griffen, she should be DAMN GRATEFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY!!! for the 18 seconds of honorable mention.
The lady janitor character's cameo spoof on the Family Guy episode "Peterotica" introduced Burnett to a whole new generation of potential fans. When was the last time you thought about Carol Burnett and her signature ear tug?

I liked Burnett a bit, but it's been years since I'd heard of her. I doubt many people my age even know who she is. If she's suing Family Guy she's an idiot.
Now it turns out that someone does an 18 sec parody of one of her characters from...30 years back? More?? And she wants to… sue! Sheesh! You’d think she’d appreciate the free publicity!
