Family Guy Ham Radio

Amateur radio has been used many times as a plot device in films, television, and novels. Here is an ever-lengthening list of amateur radio references. For more info see: or

My focus will be on cartoon type TV shows. Specifically a number of Simpson's episodes have included references to ham radio [clues taken from various newsgroups] Below I managed to find which episodes these references are in. I could use some help with the others, and some files to work with. Sooner or later there will be an official spot on the web for this after I reconstruct the information and extract all the pictures. I also have set up a photo mirror of this.
