I've never seen it, but from what I saw in the previews for it, it didn't interest me all.

Back when I watched commercial TV, I liked The Simpsons. I suppose that I still would.

I agree.

I beleive South Park is that way too. Here again, it wasn't something that I was ever interested in watching. Thus I never did.

I used to like Family Guy, but since it came back on television after it's hiatus, it just seems lame to me. I still like South Park and The Simpsons, but I can't stand Family Guy.

There are awesome and lame American shows and there are awesome and lame British shows, ldo.

three years ago i would have said yes. i've watched a bit of it lately and it's not as funny as remember. my father banned me from watching it three years ago and i had a complete breakdown. everybody at school was watching so it made me feel it excluded. now it's just like, eh...nothing much.

I love American dad to be honest. The Stephen King parodies family guy did may 10th were really accurate as well. It shows how big a fan Seth Macfarlane is. The broadway and big band music in both of the shows is also nice and original.

It's brilliant. I'm not going to give arguments, since I'm 17 and my prefrontal cortex isn't fully developed yet.

I don't watch it a whole lot, but I think it's cool. 8)

I LOVE "Futurama" repeats.


I'm the same way. Brian and Stewie are the only reason I'll watch it sometimes.

The other day one of my work mates said I remind him of Quagmire ! !
Since I've never watched the show he dialed it up to show me.
I remain un-impressed ...

It works both ways, if real-life people don't want to be made fun of then they shouldn't try to present themselves in a positive light. Instead of telling people how amazing they are in all the stupid-magazines, they should let people come to the conclusion on their own.

I like family guy, but i find many of the jokes are too biased.

I LOVE Family Guy, as well as all animated sitcoms.

I caught Family Guy once on BBC3 and must say...never again, it just doesn't humour me in the slightest.

I'm not too into it. It has it's funny moments, but it's not like I look forward to watching it. If i'm flipping through the channels and it happens to be on I might watch it.

:lol: Oh yeah I love that episode. I like to watch family guy and American dad! all the time. I'll admit that some jokes go a bit far but I still enjoy watching the episodes. My fav character from family guy is Stewie although some of the jokes around him do annoy me a bit. My fave character from American dad! is of course Roger the alien :D although klaus the goldfish is kinda funny as well. :twisted:

I can't watch anything where the animation is so ugly. For that reason alone, all American animated sitcoms fail in my book.
