When the writers have little to no material so they use Meg a joke to get things rolling. We get it. Brian is an Atheist, and George Bush was the worst person alive. Chris is just there. The fact that I can guess when the "remember when/this is like" means others can as well. And what the fuck is up with all the rape jokes, seriously? Is this what the show has come to just rape, drugs, and domestic abuse jokes? I miss Futurama.    | ||

The characters are weak (paranoid, right wing father, laid back daughter, geeky son, unremarkable wife, with some wacky shit like talking fish and aliens thrown in for good measure), but it's much lighter on the flashback humor, doesn't feature as many extended musical numbers, and there are more fresh plot lines to build on. My opinion of popular animated shows: The Simpsons 10 in their prime, 2 several seaons ago, 5 now Futurama Pretty steady 7/8 South Park 2 early seasons, 6 mid seasons, 4 now Family Guy 5 early seasons, 3 now American Dad 6 Cleveland Show 1 | ||

As for the Cleveland Show, with the way I feel about Family Guy and American Dad now, I wouldn't even bother watching a spin off of a show that's only okay. I heard they canceled King of the Hill for it though, which is sad, granted I haven't watched King of the Hill in a few years. | ||

Some of the most clever jokes ever but people don't even notice because they are too busy getting bent out of shape about silly stuff. edit: Manifesto: Duckman hahaha yeah I remember it was on right after weird science! edit 2: I think people who rate it less than 7 out of 10 really aren't getting it after all. | ||

I've never seen a show so repeating and lame as this one in my life. The worst thing is douche bags giving me url to remember when jokes on youtube! South Park is my favorite! Chicken and cow. | ||

But then all of a sudden Peter, dressed as Mary Poppins, falls ontop of two kids, vomiting and crying as he realizes he's killed them both before using his umbrella to slide them under the bed and escaping out the window. I mean you can laugh or cry, but you did not see that coming. | ||

I mean you can laugh or cry, but you did not see that coming. The point isn't that we didn't know they were about to make a joke involving Mary Poppins. The point is that you know exactly when they're about to cut to one of their "omg sooooo random" sketches, and you know exactly what to expect. Fans say it's fantastic how random and unpredictable they are, but honestly i just think it's dumb, unimaginative and repetitive. Making the same joke strictly following the "Remember the time i did X with X?" template, inserting two random pop culture references that will make college students squeal with delight isn't creative in the slightest. I've also never seen any subtlety that apparently exists. I've been told it's there, but never been shown an example. IMO, at their absolute best simpsons > south park > futurama > family guy | ||

IMO, at their absolute best simpsons > south park > futurama > family guy Uh what you described as 'what fans like about family guy' is not what's actually good about family guy. The best parts of family guy also have nothing to do with that format southpark made fun of. If you do not realize this you are too ignorant on what family guy offers to make any kind of a fair judgment.

It's all satire, parody, and other things that you have to actually pay attention for. If I was doing work while watdching 'when you wish upon a weinstein' for example, I would not have realized that they were parodying the graduate when louis tried to prevent chris from getting bar-mitzvah'd, and I wouldn't have laughed at the technically accurate hebrew either. You can't appreciate family guy without giving it your full attention and I think that's why so many people think it's bleh... they are just taking it at face value and not stopping to try to appreciate it (to their great loss). Anyone who says they don't see the subtlety needs to stop and watch it carefully... although many people won't get it either way I guess if you lack the life experience to see what they are referencing (little kids like the silly crap they do (the childish humor thrown in for contrast) and don't realize there is a deeper level) | ||
