Poll: Family Guy, yay or nay?

[SomeBritishDude]

yay because well, its better than a whole lot of other shit on tv.

I don't understand sentiments like this at all. Tv is better than the movie industry right now.

Stuff like Fringe, the Wire, Lost, Breaking Bad, Futurama, South Park, Game of Thrones ect are fucking incredible. There's no reason to set your expectations low as far as TV shows go in this day and age.

i actually do find all the shows boring (lost especially)say for except south park, kinda wish futurama had stayed gone but whatever at least theyre new....
also your comparisons shouldve only been futurama and south park since they are the most similar and not hour long dramas. You might as well have thrown in house and bones....
game of thrones is new so give it a while then maybe you can compare.
also you picked well liked shows and not the ton of crap i was referring.
ps-eureka is better than fringe.

Its stagnant are only a few seasons. It has its good oneliners, but thats about it. Let it die & move on to the next.

 

[martin's a madman]

Yay, it plays perfectly to any of the theories of comedy I'm familiar with at one time or another.

It's bloody absurd.
It can be clever.
It can be gross.
It can be tense.
Etc etc.

 

[Im Phelpsing It]

I like it, but whether due to over-exposure or the show just going south over the past few years, I can't force myself to watch any episode unless I haven't seen it before.

 

[Nathan Allison]

Nay.

I find American Dad much more funny. Which is weird, that's the show that is supposed to be completely left winged but it's not. In the early episodes you can see that it tried to be, then later they figured it's not funny and moved on to do their own thing. Using politics and social aspects for comedy and not the freaking main plot. The episode that Stan helps his wife seduce a famous movie star, just so they can break his heart and kill him was absolutely hilarious.

South Park is the only show I know that can talk arguable politics and make them really funny without getting up in your face about it.

Futurama is awesome, 'nuff said.

 

[Nimcha]

Yay for me. Didn't enjoy it when it first aired but the newer seasons are funny as hell.

 

[Griffolion]

It's gone downhill recently. They need to kill it now to make sure it doesn't have the same fate as the Simpsons does.

 

[AlAaraaf74]

I never liked it. I've always preferred the British comedy over American. I guess it's 'cause I'm Canadian by birth. I still don't understand why Americans 'don't understand' British comedy. And Canadian comedy sucks. There's no denying it.

I like British comedy, but many of my fellow Americans need their humor to be dumbed down. Btw, I've never seen Canadian comedy, so thanks for the warning.

 

[blackflare]

well i found the old seasons up to about 5 were quite funny. then i found it difficult to watch it was the same old routine . I prefer american dad to it now since it is still kind of fresh. I never got into the cleveland show.

 

[Durgiun]

It's sort of hit and miss for me, but I still like to watch it.

Some of the more recent episodes do get a laugh out of me with a neat joke, but they tend to ruin it by following up with some overly drawn out gag that isn't funny and only serves to eat up screen time.
Still, I like it and I wish for it to be stay on the air for at least the tenth season. Then it can die in peace as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Dalek Caan]

Love to frick out of it. Very funny and I like how in the first half of the show there i a story arc that leads to the second one.
