A friend of mine recently lent me the Family Guy DVD set. After watching all of the episodes, I must say that it is the funniest show I have ever seen. It's really too bad that it's not on anymore.

How many people here watch this show? What are you thoughts on it?

I agree.
This kicks the Simpsons in the ass.
I think Futurama is better than the Simpsons.
The reason the show never stayed on the air (at least on FOX) was because

it was a cartoon----------so kids were drawn to it before adults
it had adult oriented material--------------so kids didn't get most of the jokes
Simpsons had a heavy following


Now Family Guy is part of Adult Swim on The Cartoon Network
Seth McFarlane will possibly get new shows for 2004 (not sure what network)
I got Volume 1 (seasons 1 & 2) and Volume 2 (season 3)
It&#39;s a shame there are no new shows now though <_<

imo, the simpsons is easily the best cartoon ever
futurama would be second, and to be honest, i wouldn&#39;t even rate family guy
i&#39;ve watched a few episodes and i just couldn&#39;t get into it, i suppose

That was some of the first stuff I download with KLite. I love all the random pop culture references. Like the theme for the Quahog parade: The time Tony sees Angela naked in the shower on Who&#39;s the Boss or the time Peter plays poker with his father-in-law, Bill Gates, Ted Turner, and Michael Eisner (and they all hate Turner because he always wins). Brilliant stuff.

I think I spent most of my day off downloading Family Guy shows&#33; I never did understand why they took it off Fox. :angry:
I would have to go Family Guy...The Simpsons..and then maybe Futurama...Not a really big fan of that one.

I noticed that The Simpsons is more universal while
Family Guy AND Futurama are full of references to American TV and politics.

If a foreigner hasn&#39;t seen the American TV shows or watch American news then someone from another country won&#39;t fully enjoy the latter shows.

Another prime example in America was the movie Don&#39;t Be A Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood
To FULLY enjoy this movie and get the jokes you would have had to see these movies:

Higher Learning
South Central
Boyz N&#39; The Hood
Juice
Menace To Society
9 1/2 Weeks
Coolie High
Do The Right Thing
Poetic Justice
and more

(it also helped if you were black or at the very least white and watched alot of rap videos) :lol:

i think over the years Simpsons has dumbed down, or the writers have just run out of ideas - but the jokes seem to consist mostly of Homer being set on fire or shot

I haven&#39;t seen many Family Guy episodes though, its hardly ever on, damn my modem

Oooh yeah, giggidy giggidy, oooooh yeah

who&#39;s the daddy
The creator of cult animated comedy Family Guy has been commissioned to make a new show in the States

Fox, which unceremoniously dumped Seth MacFarlane&#39;s first series last year, has now ordered a pilot episode of American Dad.

And if executives like it, the show could launch as early as autumn 2004.

The show will revolve around a right-wing CIA agent and his wife, their two kids (including a liberal daughter), a housebound alien and a French-speaking goldfish.

As with Family Guy, MacFarlane plans to provide several of the voices, in addition to enlisting other vocal talents.

Fox&#39;s Craig Erwich told Hollywood bible Variety: "Animated comedy is a part of our brand, and has been for a long time. You&#39;ve got to make sure you&#39;ve got the next ones in the pipeline -- not that the shows we have now are going anywhere."

MacFarlane added: "The dynamic is very much All in the Family, with a left-wing daughter who&#39;s constantly clashing with her father. It&#39;s a great time to be doing a show like this, because it&#39;s such a politically charged period that&#39;s ripe for satire."

18 years old from Scotland? This is probably why it&#39;s hard to get into Family Guy. It makes references to alot of OLD American TV shows. So when they make a joke on the show referencing the show One Day At A Time your&#39;re like :blink:
and it&#39;s understandable.

I noticed people were making references towards Family Guy&#39;s um, references to American Pop Culture and such. A great example of this is when at the beginning of an episode it shows Stewie looking through the fridge and he goes:

"Hmm lets see here, we&#39;ve got soda....purple stuff... ALL RIGHT, SUNNY D&#33;"

It was very funny, if only I could remember what episode that was.

I do remember it&#39;s one of the first seven (first season)
