I love watching that show when I'm a little out of it, it's excellent.


Being in the uk and not having sky I'm roughly 3 seasons behind on the simpsons, family guy, south park etc. So I'm still finding the simpsons funny, when I watch it. The movie looks surprisingly funny, more so than I expected.
But then I like Family Guy, Simpsons, South Park and Futurama so...

I think what irks most people about family guy is that they are expecting a sitcom when really it's a sketch show with recurring characters.
 
simpsons is funny, but i like south park the best. family guy is shit. It's boring and too repetitive, imo.

and stupid poll is stupid.
 
None of these answers really express my feelings for it. I used to love it, but the quality has undeniably lowered in the last several years. Still, I owe it enough to go see the movie, which I probably will do. I haven't watched a full new episode in years though.

I love the earlier stuff. DVD's and stuff let you relive the memories. Unfortunately, what seems to be a large amount of the great talent from back then (Conan O'Brien, Brad Bird to name some examples) has moved onto bigger things. New episodes have their moments, but don't really compare to the old episodes.

I'll probably rent the movie, since I am at least interested to see how it turns out.

I heard the movie will be the end of the series. I grew up with the simpsons and i still love the older episodes, but yeah it should've ended many years ago. I can understand why people who were born during the 90s would be pretty sick of them though.

i just find family guy annoying now too, its completely lost its cleverness and is now mostly random stupidity

QUOTE FOR TRUTH

Family Guy is idiotic now, and it's basically Simpsons Ver. 2.0.

I work in a supermarket chain called 'Kroger' and I'm the janitor. I clean up the restrooms every hour, seeing as its a big store where I work at. One day, and I will swear I will never forget this...

A kid walked in while I had the sign on the bathroom door that said cleaning in progress. Well, I didn't say anything because I figured it was an emergency, since this isn't the first time for someone to just walk in despite the large sign. Well, he went to the standing urinal and started yelling "DING! FRIES ARE DONE! DING! FRIES ARE DONE! DING! FRIES ARE DONE! I GOTTA RUN! I GOTTA RUN! I GOTTA RUN!" and he repeated the first two lines of the idiotic song rewrite over ten times. While he said this, he was looking at his reflection from the metal piping that hangs on top of the standing urinal and the lever on it. Needless to say, since he was a kid, he needed to stay on the tips of his toes and during that he shifted angles to the left to get a better view of his reflection, still yelling out the horrible words. This ended with the kid leaking half his bladder on the restroom floor and then running out without washing his hands or zipping up his pants.

This was a confirmation to the absolute stupidity not only in America, but broadcasting done on Fox, especially at Family Guy.

1. The show is rated PG-13. The child was 6, and no more than that. He could barely reach the urinal's base by 2 inches.

2. The show contains partial nudity, sexual homor, crude jokes, alcohol, and drug references. This child shouldn't be exposed to this kind of crap.

3. The kid became so damn stupid, that he only knew the first two lines of the rewritten song, didn't know how to read a sign, didn't care that he leaked half his bladder on the floor, and had no notion to say 'Oops. Sorry...' or anything of the sort.

In the end, the prime reason to which I hate Family Guy is its unexistant root for humor. In satirical works such as Candide, it never included 'random' as a form of humor. This sort of 'random' element was sold for being humorous and the retards bought it.

I'm sure that if Seth Green could sell random and say its funny, then he can outclass the weight loss drug companies and sell cattle fecal matter in a pill and say its a weight loss pill, making billions of dollars on another false corporation.
 
i've gotta agree that i don't like little kids watching family guy, the parents need to do something about that, but of course most don't because people are idiots. plus kids are sneaky. my 9 year old neice got in trouble at school last year for quoting some racist or gay jokes or something from the show, she'd been watching it on dvd at her friends house. apparantly these days if you're in grades 3-8 and DON'T watch family guy, you're a social outcast. she was devestated at being banned from watching it.

they should put it on after midnight. its usually airs at 8pm or 9pm, and most kids are still up then. of course that doesn't help if they just watch it on dvd or the internet. it really is just obnoxious garbage now, designed to offend without any real wit behind it. at least with shows like south park there's a moral of some sort
 
I'd voice my own complaints about The Family Guy, but you've all summed it up nicely. Simply put, in its first three seasons it was cutting edge, hilarious satirical entertainment. Once it was petitioned for revival, it became overdone, obnoxious shite.
 
Whether you like it or not, Family Guy sells pretty damn well. Lately I've been getting a little bored with it, but it's still okay to watch every once in a while. I'm mature enough not to go running around saying stupid shit I hear on it, it's just a good show to sit back, relax, and watch before going to bed.

I read all of the posts in here about kids watching it and all of that shit, but it doesn't take an idiot to know that kids shouldn't be watching that shit. If parents would act like real parents, they'd make sure their kids don't watch shows like South Park or Family Guy.

Don't give me story about them watching it at their friend's house or whatever, either. If some parent can't control a 10 year old, then how do they plan to get any respect when they're older? Honestly, there are lots of ways to control what your kids are doing. It's not like you can't use a damn V-chip to block out PG13 or w/e rating shows. Hell, spanking them would teach them the lesson the fastest. Whether you do that to your kids or not is none of my concern. Besides, only adults can buy Family Guy DVD's and if these parents are buying them for their kids, then they're the ones that need some parenting.

All I'm really saying is that Family Guy sells whether you like it or not. Just because you don't like it, or find it unfunny, doesn't make it's viewers retards. You can hate it all you like, but it's rated PG13 and before the show starts each time, it displays a warning message. If you can't handle your kids, that's your problem, not the show's.
 
i find the simpsons hilarious at times

and whats up with the fucking biased piece of shit poll

edit: i love you misty xD
 
The Simpsons when it was in its prime was classic. I click on Fox, and watch an old episode even though I know all of it by heart, it's great. Have no idea what they're doing now though.

As for Family Guy, I think it's funny. Not for kids though. I laughed so hard at the randomness of:

Louis: So how was your day Peter?
Peter: The average.

Peter is poking a crocodile with a stick.

Peter: Wakey wakey Mr. Crocodile. You gonna wake up? You gonna-you gonna wake up?.......There you go.

Koala flies onto Peters face.

Priceless.
 
Is the poll for banning the OP or whoever casts the vote? :P That said, like lots of people I much preferred older Simpsons than the new stuff they come up with, but my favourite show is definitely Futurama.

That said, I've watched three movies in the last week; they've all shown different Simpsons trailers and have kinda made me want to watch it. "Spiderpig, Spiderpig, does whatever a Spiderpig does." Goofy, but funny.
 
Well the Simpsons is a classic and everybody has their own tastes. I prefer Family Guy over Simpsons because of the footballheaded Stewie. Just does what I want to do lol. Well what's the point of making a thread like this anyway. Simpsons is great and morally ok. I dont see it having any problems as you refer.
 
Close this now. And I still hate Simpsons and Family Guy, their against my morale and I the simpons die in their movie and end the series!
