I vote yay!

No, its not as good as it once was, but then again not much is. (I mean most stuff usually gets worse over time, I'm not saying early Family Guy was better than most stuff :p)

At the end of the day it can still be really funny, and even if the newer ones aren't as good that doesnt change the fact that it has had some amazing episodes, and really funny (and occasionally very clever) bits.

First 3 seasons, pretty good.

Season 4 ok, I guess.

After that, what the fuck?

And any episode that features Brian getting beaten all to shit (fuck glenns dad and owing stewie money) .

The preaching in it pisses me off though and most of what it preaches aligns with my beliefs, invisible friend knows what you bible humping, gun toting conservative colonials think of it :p

I find it painful to watch, with all of the constant flash backs, and the pauses.

Its like the show is waiting for someone to laugh, even though they will never hear it.

I like it. I overwhelmingly prefer shows like Archer and Lucy the daughter of the devil but it is an enjoyable waste of half an hour. I wouldn't consider Family guy a guilty pleasure though. Mine is The Cleveland show. I enjoy it and it has David Lynch playing Gus the bartender dammit!

It's fine i guess. the only reason it leaves a bad taste in my craw is Seth is given three IDENTICAL shows while Matt has to fight tooth and nail for Futurama. Dirty pool fox, dirty pool.

I like it.

I don't think it's the second coming of Christ, and I have more love for it's competitors in honesty, but it's worthy of my time.

While I used to like it when it was new but once it was revive from cancellation I started to hate it.
I just bored with the cut away sketches and the way they rush the conclusion of the episode right at the end. To me the show show lack quality and it make my eyes roll every time my cousin praise it.
Ok granted I like how they presented the gay marriage episode (they got their message across).

I used to like it, but they couldn't get past the "this situation is like(insert unlikely situation with pop culture refrence)" ever, and it's still the only joke they really ever make anymore, it got pretty old.

I voted nay, because I find it to be a stupid and almost entirely humorless show. It's like all the damned "Genre Movies" where the creators think they're being clever when they're dropping one brainless pop-culture reference after another.

The show was pretty good for the first three seasons, then it was cancelled and remade with a largely different crew, and they have been screwing up ever since.

After watching the Family Guy episode of South Park (Cartoon Wars) and then reading about and why they made the episode and the complaints I thought long and hard about Family Guy and now I can't watch it and enjoy it. I don't know why, but I just can't. I still like American Dad though, I love that show.

Sometimes I love the show, and sometimes I hate it. I really dislike the entire 4th season, and I find it irritating whenever the show gets "preachy," but all in all I watch it fairly often. I quote my favorite parts, laugh when a situation mirrors something I've seen in real life, and look forward to new episodes, so it's a "Yay!" for me. I have to admit, this new season has been really exceptional, and I think it addressed alot of the complaints people have with the show.

I used to, now I just can't look at it anymore.
The plots have become terrible, the jokes tasteless and unfunny and the characters one dimensional and unlikable.
It's at best mediocre and at worst insulting, and I can't be around it anymore.

Never seen an episode I haven't enjoyed, definitely a yay. I prefer American Dad though and the Cleveland Show can just fuck off and die.

Big fat NAY for me. At best it will offer the very rare chuckle, but it's mostly a terrible show for me. The writing and jokes are not funny, the characters have become inane and stupid (than they already were), and the terrible editing with the random senseless skits that are just jarring and serve no purpose are insufferable.

I have never liked the show, not even the earlier seasons like many have. It's just gotten worse with time and I think that episode of South Park with Cartman trying to destroy it sums up my feelings for it.

I just do not like the humor at all and as time goes on I can't see how people find it funny. I can't help but roll my eyes and sigh every time I try and watch an episode, it's structure is just annoying and while SOME jokes can be clever, I find that to be ultimately irrelevant a few minutes later when they do something to cock it all up.

I enjoy comedy and a decent sense of humor, but this.....eh.

I like it. I have fun laughing at it with my dad. Granted, I don't think it has been its best lately, but it's still fun.

South Park is waaay better. They are so topical!
Family guy has its moments but the newer episodes waste so much time on stupid musicals and stuff.
PS I voted nay

i used to like it a lot more than i do now. My tastes haven't changed, i still lmao at the older eps most of the time, some jokes do get old after the 100th time. The newer ones that i have seen just don't seem to have the same comedic value as the older ones.
