Family Guy. Before I say anthing, I should state that after its 5th season the quality of the show has gone significantly down. But before that, I don't think a show can get much more awesome. Family Guy is more vulgar than The Simpsons, they are much more disfunctional, as you could let your kids watch The Simpsons (though it's not a kids show, as they can get bad ideas), no parent with any kind of sense will let his kid watch the Family Guy. Generally the setup of the characters is somewhat near to The Simpsons - a retarded husband/dad Peter, beautiful wife Lois, 3 kids, there is also a talking dog Brian. But don't think this is a Simpsons clone, because it's not. It is unique in every single way, it is insulting (if you take it that way), it mocks everything and everyone, there are no limits to its boldness. For start the baby kid Stewie is a evil genious which is trying to kill his mother and in later seasons we understand he (it?) is homosexual. The dog is really the smartest character, probably in the whole show, but has big issues and is often getting wasted on drugs and alcohol. Peter is big time laugh, seems to be a bit retarded and is doing all kinds of crap, he is a big character! The bigger son Chris is taking in his father's footsteps, and the daughter Meg is like the nobody of the show, she is constantly neglected by everyone, she has no special qualities, neither beauty nor brains.
To sum up, do watch this, though if you are easily insulted and don't like mockery of stuff that is generally respected and kind of taboo, you should probably skip Family Guy and stick to The Simpsons. Peace, I'm out.

Rofl, I agree the new episodes aren't as good, but when you have seen the originals so many times its nice to watch new storylines.
ReplyDeleteI don't know I still laugh my ass off with the new episodes But I demand more bruce
ReplyDeleteI know it's going a bit downhill, but that's what happens when you make 3 tv shows with similar characters... but I still adore this show! Never missed a single episode :)
ReplyDeleteI would let my kids watch this! I watched much worse when I was a kid!
ReplyDeleteYou're right, the 5th season onward episodes are truly horrible. And the gags where peter hurts himself and sits on the ground for 10 minutes are getting worse and worse.
ReplyDeleteI love Family Guy... Their older stuff was better, but I still like the new stuff too.
ReplyDeleteI love it!
ReplyDeleteAwesome stuff man, it's truly epic lmao!
ReplyDeleteFor me Family guy is a total hit or miss. There are some episodes that are amazingly funny and others... well, not that good.
ReplyDeleteIts still a good show tho.
(American Dad is better :))
Do love this show! :D
ReplyDeleteIt should have been cancelled when it was still good. Now there's only a few decent episodes per season.
ReplyDeletei love family guy, always will, i can watch them all again and again
ReplyDeleteYea, the new stuff is pretty bad. I miss watching it back on adult swim. It was golden then.
ReplyDeleteI liked Family Guy when it first came out, but ever since like Season 3 it really went downhill for me. I can't even watch it if it's on anymore, I'd rather watch C-SPAN.
ReplyDeleteI've always loved Family Guy, and honestly the pure bluntness of their agenda is part of why it's funny. Not that I wholly agree with their pushing of their ideals but it does make for a good act.
