Anyone else find that Family Guy just isn't funny?

This will probably get moved to the M/TV board but I don't think it really belongs there. I'd rather post it here.

With that said, I find that Family Guy just isn't that funny, it's pretty juvenile and immature. I find that I feel like I lost brain cells after watching it. Am I the only one who finds the show dumb?

Seriously, I hate it.

I thought I was the only one.

I don't watch it regularly.

I find some of the pop culture references funny.

The old family guy is funny.

Newer episodes try too hard and are played out.

Once in a blue moon something funny will happen, but for the most part...

I never said it was, just don't get why everyone thinks the show is so great, when it just really isn't.

In all fairness, you're watching a cartoon.

It's like complaining about plot holes in the latest Jackass movie.

They follow the same format and i could see why people say it got old, but I still like it.

It was funny the first 3 seasons. Then it just lost its appeal for me.

Agree. It's gotten preachy, and the random stupidity is lame. I think South Park's "Cartoon Wars" episode nailed it.

There some amusing moments, but I've never found the talking baby funny at all

I think it's one of the only funny shows on TV. Out of curiosity, what do you think is funny? Please don't say the Simpsons.

I cringe when I'm at a friends and they are watching it.

South Park, I won't go out of my way to watch, but it's much more tolerable than Family Guy.
