Autograph Of The Week:Alex Borstein/Patrick Warburton Dual!

Hello readers!
For a few months now I have been staring at today's autograph card in my watch list. You know, watching it but more in the literal sense.

My main goal of this card was the Patrick Warburton part as I already had an autograph of Borstein but single Patrick cards list for much more. So I found this one cheap and watched it. I was quite surprised it didn't already sell and then the seller offered a markdown. How could I say no at that point?!

Alex played on Mad-Tv with her star role as Ms.Swan and is the voice of Lois Griffith on Family Guy which is the show this card is based on. Patrick played on Seinfeld, Rules Of Engagement (underrated comedy series in my opinion with a star cast) and has voices in about a million shows and movies including Family Guy as Joe Swanson. His voice is one of those you will always recognize. Both actors I really enjoy and both have a part of my nostalgia so I needed this one.

What is your favorite role for Alex and Patrick?

The Origins Of A Cardboard Addict: Family Guy

Back in the 90's, I was a huge Simpsons fan. I watched it every night of the week and never missed an episode til I got married. Now , I haven't seen an episode in 17 years other than the Simpsons movie which I own.

Spider Pig, Spider Pig...

It would take me a lifetime to catch back up on those now. Another show that I started to watch in 1999 was another comedic cartoon that I thought I would enjoy and I was right.

At 16 years old, I was just getting into that odd comedy age of understanding the kind of jokes that Seth MacFarlane spun off on the show Family Guy. And I loved every bit of it. Never missed an episode and actually got my wife into the show for a few years before Seth was stretching some things too far that we didn't agree with, so we gave up on it.

However, every now and then, I will take a look back at some of the earlier episodes in 1999 and early 2000's that made me laugh.

The voice cast had some great actors I knew in other TV shows/movies, but none more than Alex Borstein. who voiced a couple of characters on the show and writes for it as well. I knew of Borstein because of her time on MadTV which I enjoyed more than SNL. Yup, probably one of the very few to admit that. Her role on MadTV, also a 90's show, as Ms.Swan was hilarious.

"Did you see the robber Ms...Ms.."
"Ms Swan. Yes. I tell you everything."
"Okay. Describe what the robber looked like?"
"What he look like?"
"Yes."
"Okay."
"Great."
"He..."
"He What?"
"He..."
"Yes??!"
"He Looka like a man."

I bought MadTV seasons just to watch her in that role. Well, besides watching Michael McDonald starring as Stuart.

When I saw that Dion's Autograph collection had a Borstein autograph, I had to inquire about it. At first he was hesitant in letting go, but I managed to show him how much of a fan I was and landed it. Very cool card and on card autograph. I do wished it was Alex as Lois, but hey, I can't be a picky.

A big thanks goes out to Dion for letting this go. Glad to have this for my PC now.

I look forward to maybe adding a couple more autographs from the Family Guy set, if I can find them affordable, of actors I need for my non sport PC.
