I watched it once during it's initial run and it struck me as a total poor man's wannabe Simpsons. As such I dismissed any and all hype surrounding the show the same way I did with South Park in that it might occassionally be funny but relied too much on scatological humore which I tend to only find intermittently amusing.
But last night I watched Family Guy as well as American Dad and laughed out loud more than I have in a while. And I've never seen/heard so many anti-republican, anti-right wing jokes crammed into such a short space of time. More so than even the Daily show.

| 8. Well, it is *only* a theory |
|
I laughed out loud on that one.
BTW, can anyone explain the reference for the guy at the end who looked like he was covered in crap?

Now I'm wondering if it's a sly Trainspotting reference :D

| 3. I converted a friend of mine in that way... |
|
he made the same argument you did, and I countered with the fact that I thought it was fresh and inventive. I think you and I may have debated that a bit a few months back.
Family Guy freakin' rocks! :-)

A full half hour of nothing but making fun of white male republican fundamentalists. It was great!

| 7. Long time family guy supporter |
|
I was so sad when it ended and I bought all the DVD as soon as they came out (I hated supporting FOX but Family Guy is a slap in their face). I was thinking about having a party at my house for the new family guy episodes but I wanted it quite so I could try and catch all the jokes.
Also American Dad is almost funnier then Family Guy but only time will tell.
