Plenty of guest-stars appear throughout the series, satirizing themselves. Who knew Sandra Bullock had a sense of humor? Scott Wolf, Keanu Reeves, Salma Hayek, and others all pop in, and if that lineup doesn’t scream ‘1999’, I don’t know what does. The regular characters are great, from Dragon’s obsequious assistant to Bobby G., the gay studio head who’s living with Peter’s ex-wife. Bobby G. almost always appears clad only in a towel, so he can use his giant…. member…. to intimidate rivals. The legendary R. Lee Ermey appears in several episodes as director Titus Scroad, and his trademark mixture of fury and obscenity fits the series well. And weirdly, you know who steals almost every scene? Buddy Hackett! As Peter’s bodyguard, Uncle Lonnie, the old-time comedian gets to bring some real depravity to his role. I mean, he was Scuttle in The Little Mermaid! And here he is, packing a pistol and making erection jokes.
