Family Guy is WAYYYY over rated. It used to be funny, but not anymore. All the kids in my school talk about it non-stop. Almost every kid watches it on their ipod on the bus. It starts to getannoying after a while.

Family Guy used to be one of the best shows ever, next to the Simpsons of course, but like everything else in the world, it's died.

Family Guy was sort of funny the first few times I watched it, but..... Now it's just as bad as every other comedy show on TV.

Isn't that the whole goal for cartoon sitcoms?

I think Family Guy is a good TV show, yet not as good as the Simpsons. It's better than Futurama, however.

Find it more annoying that Stewie gets gayer and gayer with every episode, It was funnier when he was completely bent on world destruction

Family guy has potential although itīs inferior to both Simpsons and South Park. I like the little kid/baby. He is so sophisticated and I love his accent.

I like the show, although it tries too hard a lot of the time.
The old Simpsons is better, but FG is better than those other shows, IMO.

Here are the hours for Family Guy:
FOX (local, weekdays): 7:00 PM EST
TBS (Mondays and Tuesdays): 8:00 PM EST

I really like Family Guy, but I've been noticing something I don't like. They've been making Stewie not evil, but rather gay. Even though some scenes are funny, they've been getting too carried away with that (They're changing Stewie's evil personality).

Ive noticed this too actually, I have no idea what they were thinking when they decided to do that. Hes not even slightly evil anymore, and in the newer ones hes literally a full blown homosexual, and to make it more weird hes still only a year old o_o

Personally, though I've heard the episodes before they cancelled it where much better, I think family guy is simply overated. I mean it's funny somtimes, but the jokes have never released more of a chuckle from me.

I've stared to hate family guy more and more, because it just give Seth MacFarlane a soapbox to stand on and insult people of his opposing political view point.. that plus the "homor" is random and for the most part geared too underage&b andway.

Hounestly, Family Guy is sometimes funny but usually they are to predictable. As far as the whole South Park V.S Family Guy, South Park is wayy better. I mean Family Guy is alright but Ive always loved South Park. Sometimes Family Guy will have like pointless parts that most of the time are not funny. But some parts I have ot say are hillarious xD

You know, I don't understand why some people don't like it.
...
Then again, maybe it's overrated.
But it's funny every time I watch it...
I like the fight scenes!

Family Guy is so funny. I loved it when Peter puts on those pjs and zaps everyone. Haha :D
However, there are some things in Family Guy that I don't like. But they are there to be crude and the words are packed with emotionally loaded words to get a rise out of people. The more the people talk about it, the more people watch it. It's not nice always but it's one of the reasons that Family Guy is a very,very popular show.

I used to like Family Guy. I liked all the silly pop culture refrences - random references to television shows and toys from my childhood, and, as random as it was, some of the humor was even quite witty. I liked the early episodes where Stewie was bent upon world domination rather than being ambigiously gay and in denial...

But lately, it's become such a soapbox. Some of the episodes might as well cut out all the charactes and have Seth McFarlane screaming at the screen.

Nothing much "crosses the line" for me. I even thought the Prom Night Dumpster Baby musical sketch was hilarious just because it just broadsided the audience with something shocking and just so "wrong" it wound up being funny (at least to me). However, one recent episode just crossed the line for me in such a way...

... that it made me so angry that I refuse to even watch reruns of the show now. Seth McFarlane is getting no more of my viewership (at least until he learns that religious tolerance goes both ways).

I'm not talking about the Church of Fonzie episode. I loved the Church of Fonzie episode. It was a more recent episode that honked me off.

Furthermore, it just made me sad that "another good show has really gone down the crapper." I mean, the jibes at various things used to have a wit to them, and I feel that Family Guy has completely lost its wit.

I still enjoy watching the show, but this season I find they seem to be slipping in terms of quality. (I know some would argue there's any quality to begin with, but as a former student of animation, there's some kind in every work)

I think the main point I find odd about the season that just ended was they began to point out more and more that they're fictional characters. They're breaking the fourth wall and admitting they're running low on matieral by doing so. Some moments of this include Peter stating "It's a cartoon!" and another time asking the members of the family if anyone had any last jokes to tell before ending the episode.

Yes, those moments are still amusing, but they are showing a beginning of a weakness in the writing. I think if they had banked material from American Dad and the Comedy Cavalcade works (along with whatever material they held for the Cleveland Show) then FG itself would be on sturdier legs.

I think overall I might just be more disappointed with the slack writing and the fourth wall when King of the Hill has been cancelled for a 3rd McFarlane show. I've grown rather fond of KOTH and it's sad to see a show that has been solid past 10 seasons fall to ones that are flailing before that mark.

i love family guy! its hilarious! i can watch one episode over and over. peter is def. my favorite character. i do have to admit that i sometimes feel a little bit uncomfortable with the jesus and/or god jokes...but i know how some people take it WAY to seriously. and i kno that sometimes we need to take a step back from serious things and have a little laugh about it. lol

Family Guy is hilarius! I love all the different characters!

But I think for a show to be funny, it has to be rated M or MA. Take the Simpsons... Should be funny but it isn't... Why? Because the humor is not good for children! :lol:

Family Guy in one word: unfunny.

The characters are bland, use the most obscure and unfunny jokes, never stay with the plot, and uses awful excuses for plots. Peter joins a football team, the old dude has a gay love for Chris, Stewie meets his long lost enemy from racing in a sperm into an egg, and it just gets stupider and more boring. Character Variety you say? Well, the descriptions, "boring, bland, unfunny, blander, blandest, fat, and outrageously raunchy" count as variety. Bottom line: Family Guy was cancelled for a good reason, but replaced for the wrong reason.

Family Guy sucks is overrated and stupid and its oviously a rip off of the Simpsons. I used to watch it often(when it was actualy funny) now its stupid and half the time its seems like a bunch of clips put together.
I also hate Seth Mac-whatever he is a sellout.

Petman1325

Now that I pay more attention to the series, I do confess that the older Family Guy episodes are much better than the modern ones. They're running out of ideas, and are instead giving some of their ideas to the other shows that the producer of Family Guy makes. In the older days, they had a well written out story that had relevant and humorous side-clips that didn't stray that far from the original story.

Now, as TriforceHunter above me has stated, it is nothing more than a bunch of random clips put together. One thing that irks me about the modern series is that they are doing things that shouldn't happen, such as Brian finally finishing his book and stuff like that. Then again, the same can be said about a lot of older kids cartoons that I've watched and have occasionally seen today, such as SpongeBob (who went from having common sense to brainless...several times (literally)) and Fairly Odd Parents (things happen way too predictably and also way too fast).

I really don't like the "Family Guy is just a ripoff of The Simpsons" argument. Yeah, they're both cartoons on Fox about a lower-middle class family of five. That's where the similarities end. Obviously, Family Guy was inspired by The Simpsons but that doesn't make it a complete copy. One big difference between them is what Family Guy revolves around; the cutaway gags. And for those who say "Well the cutaway gags suck too because they gotz nothing to do with the story", I advise you to find some other type of programming if you're looking for a story. Seriously, it's a friggin cartoon, it's not meant to be some epic narrative. The cutaways make you laugh, and that's probably the reason most of us watch cartoons.

Beyond that, I will say that the show is overrated. Honestly, the only reason The Cleaveland Show is still running is because Seth MacFarlane's name is attached to it; his influence obviously runs pretty far. And while I don't find most of Family Guy's social commentary particularly radical, I will say some bits (the recent Terry Schiavo gag comes to mind) go a wee bit too far. I mean, I get that he was (hopefully) trying to criticize the controversy around the incident, but it just came off as ridiculing the Schiavo family for still having sentimental attachement to the patient.

And, imo, Gay Stewie is much funnier than Evil Stewie. I found the Evil Stewie days more..... immature, than badass.

Family Guy is a show of Hilarious moments and retarded moments. Some are funny, Some are just plain dumb.

It used to be funny, till season 6 hit. Kept watching the show hoping to find some piece of brilliant comedic genius, yet nothing happened.
Well the shows a lot of parodies in American Social life and Showbiz, I find that amusing. But there are moments where they make no sense. -__-

The only REALLY Funny moment I loved in this show is a bout the word.

You don't know the word?

Those first say, three seasons where very creative and full of carefully written jokes. That was when it was still an 'underground' show. Nowadays, there are some occasional episodes that reach that type of quality but there also lots of crappy episodes full of random nonsense jokes that make no sense whatsoever. The current season is clearly better than the last one but its just not the early years anymore.

Something I've noticed with this show: Stewie just keeps getting gayer the more the series progresses and Peter gets dumber at about the same rate. Of course there are a few moments that I think are funny but I don't see what so funny about abusing your daughter.

I used to like it, but now I hate this show. The jokes in the show now are just plain random and stupid. The biggest problem is that now the show is universally funny, it can make the most unnfunniest joke on earth, but it'll still be funny to kids. The kids at my church (and a couple in my school) just irritate me when they talk about this show. When they are re-acting a scene, say a phrase, say "Giggity Giggity", or sing a song (The Bird is the Word), they are just butchering it and it becomes less funny when I watch the scene again at the show. So basically, the kids who are fans of the show are my main reason why I hate the show.

My other problem of the show is Seth MacFarlane. King of the Hill was one of my favorite shows of all time, but for some reason, kids at my school hate this show very much. I never know why they hate it, though. I really like the show because the characters were awesome, and has more maturity than the other shows. When I heard that it was cancelled, I was shocked and sad to see a long and great running show to an end. When I heard why it was cancelled, I got really angry. The King of the Hill was cancelled because Fox needs to make room for the Cleveland Show. I watched one episode of the Cleveland Show and I'll never watch it again. Seth has 2 shows and decided to work on another show? I know this has nothing to do with Family Guy, but it makes me dislike FG even more.

As for Family Guy itself, I haven't watch a new episode in a long time because it's getting more stupider and not funny. The older episodes were a lot funnier and less random than the others. I do accept the cutaways. They are there just to make people laugh. I still think it is a rip-off of the Simpsons no matter what. I am aware that Seth said he was influenced in Morgan Sperlock's The Simpsons Anniversary Special, but I think it's just an excuse.

I'm surprised at the number of people who dislike Family Guy. I think it may be a matter of hating for the sake of hating, but I'm here to make a stand of both the hilarity and awesomeness of Family Guy.

Here's a quick point: Seth MacFarlane, Seth Green, Mike Henry, etc. are pretty old. Since the show is really whatever they find funny they may lose some of the younger viewers (yes I'm calling some of you younger, sorry :(). I find most of the stuff funny; maybe my humor matches theirs, i dunno.

Most of you have said that the earlier stuff was better.
To that I say: "WHAAAA?!@#???"
IMO, the earlier episodes are just like a seinfeld episode or simpsons, both funny shows, but both have a really old kind of humor that doesn't make me laugh out loud, at least not anymore.

Here are some of the great things about Family Guy.
Repetitive gags: One such gag is the evil monkey. We are continually exposed to it, and maybe by the third time we see him he's old news, but then they show him smoking weed or how he became angry and that makes it even more hilarious.

The characters change a lot. Their voices have changed. They're behaviors change. But that's okay. I think that any changes so far have been improvements. Let's talk about Stewie:

Ya he's different. And their explaination of why he stopped trying to take of the world is the best part about the change (the two part episode where he succeeds in taking over the world only to be killed by rambo Lois).
The bottom line is that he's funnier now...
and the show is still top 3 comedies on tv, imo.

And at my school no one raves about it.. that's just weird. Lol.

I kinda watch it fom time to time, since my best friends do... I find it kinda funny. Except when it gets a little too awkward for my tastes, I switch to something else. Also, we are learning how to play the Theme Tune in our school band. It's working out well :)
