So because I don't like a show, I don't get and am obviously a complete moron? what the frick? I get the references, that doesn't make it any more funny, or, any less immature and juvenile.

ETA: frick it got moved, now im going to get pwned by the M/TV board pricks.

Most of their references are hilarious, and the randomness of some of the jokes is pretty good too. For someone to just completely hate it, that person must not get most of the references.



I agree with this. The format works because macfarlane is hilarious with those references

The last funny Family Guy episode that stands out is the one where Brian and Stewie time travel back to Nazi Germany.

It's had four episodes so far and atleast it's not so repetitive like family guy is sometimes.

It's been out for more than a week. Already been 3 episodes. It has been pretty awesome so far.

ETA: I actually think there are 4 episodes out, but I've been watching on Hulu and they only have the first 3 as of now.

ETA2: JBeam beat me to it

best episodes of Family Guy are the originals from before it got cancelled. Ever since it came back .

I know The Simpsons is no where near the quality it once was but I still watch it, because I grew up on it. I stopped watching Family Guy years ago because for the most part its unfunny.What pisses me off the most about it is the episodes where they seem to only have a 10 minute story, but then throw in a 10 minute fight between Peter and the Chicken. If I want to watch it I will pop in the originals on DVD.

I love family guy but they make me cringe lately with how hard they put in the atheist and political beliefs on you in the show, which is terrible since they make fun of republicans and religous people for doing the same thing

This is the answer. It's for people who are movie/tv/pop culture/history buffs and are smart enough to catch the subtle references on top of the obvious ones.

I like most episodes except for the Star Wars ones.

But I've never seen a Star Wars episode.

Meh. I don't really see Family Guy much...the times I have, there may be funny moments here and there, but I can't help but get the impression that it's trying too hard. A lot of the jokes will seem almost forced or simply not funny. I neither hate nor love the show, it's just somewhat overrated.

Also,

This is one reason why South Park > Family Guy.

Not funny at all. I have tried and am sorely disappointed every time. I get many of the references but still, it just sucks. Being a writer for that show must be a breeze.
