(2,983 posts)61. Nine Emmys?
Really? WOW. That MUST mean that South Park is superior to the Family Guy. We know they don't give Emmys to shows that suck, right?
I disagree. Completely. South Park is occasionally a little funny. The Family Guy is (slightly more) occasionally moderately funny. The Simpsons stopped being funny a number of years ago. Emmys? Do you honestly judge the quality of these shows based on how many emmys they win?

OP
Sorry, I judge artists by the quality of their work and MacFarlane leaves a lot to be desired.

It's all that and its funny. Jokes are funny. I even like a good fart joke every now and again.

Well not really. We really tried to get into it. The only one who didn't think it was a mess

I watched it the other day. It is funny as hell and would not change a thing.

Just because he's liberal doesn't mean I have to like him or find him amusing. (And I don't.)

Both Family Guy and South Park went seriously downhill after their first two respective seasons.

McFarlane has exactly one gag, nothing else, and he's stretched it into 3 identical shows

South Park stopped being funny years ago. And that "Team America" crap was unwatchable.

MacFarlane is convinced that Rush is actually playing a character on his radio show.
