Any Family Guy Fans?

11 years ago

I LOVE the Family Guy. I've always imagined the writers sitting around passing fatties and downing a few cold ones while they write. Their stuff is sometimes just flat out bizarre........but always hilarious.

Thanks

As I recall, she LIED in her first interview, and the shows producers decided to go with her ANYWAY! She was the only regular on the show that was so young that she had to have a tutor, etc....

The next two youngest people are THREE years older than she is! The others are even older. For 2-3 of the years, they had to have a tutor for her because she was about 15-18. Of course, it DID go 5 years past that.

A couple years ago, I was speaking at a marketing conference. There were about 100 business owners in the room.

I asked "How many here watch The Apprentice?" Most hands go up.

"How many watch Shark Tank?" Most hands go up.

And I went off script..."How many here watch Family Guy?"

Zero hands went up. It was bizarre. One guy said "You mean that cartoon?"

I felt like a lion in a den of Daniels.

Family Guy, Futurama, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, South Park....best two and a half hours on TV, in my opinion.

I can't drink anything while these shows are on...it may come out my nose.

Thanks

Don't forget American Dad - just as funny as "Family Guy, Futurama" and
IMHO way funnier then south park

Well, as far as educational or clean, I don't like ANY of them, but south park IS easily the worst by far.

OK, I watch American Dad on Sunday evening just like the rest of the "adult cartoons".

I enjoy it and it has it's laugh out loud moments. South Park has, in the last few years, cleaned up it's act a bit. It's not as disgusting as it was in years past.

And I think the writing is better. But it took them a couple years to get me back. Season 2 was horrible and disgusting. But the writing is cleaner now...and funnier. They have added "Butters" and some of the story lines are incredibly funny. Their Easter episode had me laughing so hard I couldn't catch my breath.

Some of the very early Family Guy episodes were more gross than funny.

Does anyone watch Bob's Burger and The Cleveland Show? I really like them both, and Bob's Burger is voiced by very talented comedians. I really like it.

I notice it now.:rolleyes: My favorite character is Zap Branigan. There was an episode where he and Leala were alone and she kept catching him in escalating lies. It was incredible.

My favorite episode is where they all land on a planet with giant sex starved amazon women.
And the guys are sentenced to "Death by Snoo Snoo" (spelling is wrong I know)

I wish I knew why some people (the minority) just love these animated shows, and others think they are stupid.

I have watched Bobs Burgers a few times, it was pretty funny, but i am not

My "gotta" watch shows right now are Falling Skies , Continuum and Defiance
The adult toons are just icing on the cake for when i want to unwind and laugh like a tard

O and I am still pissed off they canceled Alphas ... grrr

I think some adults just start taking themselves a little too seriously. I love cartoons - not the superhero variety - the funny ones. Purely for laughs types. I also like The Big Bang Theory. I watch it on Sunday nights - all 4 episodes and it really gets a lot of LOLs out of me. Ya know - if you're going to lax out for entertainment - it might as well be entertaining.

Sandee - LeeLee..........I fall asleep some nights to stand up comedians on youtube. LOL.

First off..My wife and I are Science fiction fans. So Falling Skies , Continuum and Defiance are on our list too. We also really like Doctor Who.

I miss Alphas. I also used to like Heroes and The 4400. I still have some adolescent power fantasies.

Yeah, I like The Cleveland Show, but it's not at strong as Family Guy, and I think it's because Peter, Stewie, and Brian are just such memorable characters.

Bob's Berger took a while to get used to...But I think it's almost as good (in it's own way) as Family Guy.

Thanks

I never watched Heroes or 4400. Should I?

2 brand new Futurama's come on @ 10 tonight EST ... on the comedy channel.

It is the last season

... so sad.

BTW, do you watch Supernatural?

If you haven't watched Heroes or 4400, I wouldn't recommend taking all the time. After the first season, Heroes wasn't quite as good, in my opinion.

We used to watch supernatural. Something (and my old brain can't remember what it is now) was on at the same time. (Maybe Grimm) But we watched the first couple of seasons of Supernatural.

We may watch it now that most shows are in reruns.

Yup, last Futurama season. A little sad.

It might be grimm. I cant stand grimm.

My wife LOVES it.

As far as supernatural goes. if you buy the dvds or netflix
the first season is ok. then then first half of the second season is ok

then ... it gets friggen gooooood ...

real good.

I don't believe in ... well anything the show is about.

But if I did... man, i would hope it ( real life )was like the show.
( yeah I am a bit twisted

)

Exciting. Plus it allows all the immature male fantasies to play out safely.
Pretty cool if you ask me.

I am totally hooked. I know it HAS to end soon. I will truly miss it
when it is over. I dont say that about too many shows.

Thanks

I think Grimm appeals more to women. I watched a couple episodes. My wife watches it. She also likes Supernatural. I think it's a different show we watch at the time Supernatural is on.

OK, sold. I'll start watching.

I really wish all this was true too. Vampires, ghosts, the whole bit. Then I could be "Claude Whitacre- Vampire Hunter"

Yup, my immature male power fantasies would be served.

That would be the episode where they crash on what they think is a deserted planet and Lela is "trapped under a big branch.
Death by Snoo Snoo was hysterical

When they went back in time and Fry nailed his grandmother was a good one also.
I like the Cleveland Show, Bob's Burgers is starting to grow on me.
I haven't watched South Park since I downgraded my cable to basic. I use to watch Adult Swim every night also. Some of those cartoons where sick, just the way I like them

Before the shows being discussed were Beavis and Butthead and Ren and Stimpy and Pinky and the Brain. I'd like to see them back again even if limited runs.
