Someone changed my thread title. I won't hate you if you don't watch "Family Guy." I will have you murdered. But I would never hate you.
FG is on Wednesday nights 9:30 EDT on Fox. It's been back for two weeks, kicking off its triumphant return with a two-part Los Angeles extravaganza.

Moderator's Notes: As you can see, I've changed the title of your thread. While I enjoy Family Guy as much, or more, than the next person, death threats, however jokingly made, really have no place on this message board.
And now that I see you've re-asserted your whimsical (I assume) wish to murder me, you can knock that crap off too. I will edit any further instances as I see fit. This is a general note for everyone, it is not specifically pointed at the originator of this thread. Thanks all. [Edited by UncleBeer on 07-19-2001 at 04:30 PM]

Love The Family Guy. Much fun indeed. That's where I got the "sprinkles" quote from on my sig.

I love half of this show and I loathe every second of the other half. I find Brian and Stewie absolutely hilarious. I find Meg and Lois to be mildly amusing.
I want to stab myself any time Peter or whatshisname, the brother has the air to himself. I find them much worse than not funny. They were bad enough to ruin that show for me. Shame on them. I still think Stewie and Brian are so damn funny though. Hehe. Lucky Charms

Stewie RULES. (Piss off, Zenster.)
"Family Guy" is one of the few television shows I would buy on video through Columbia House just to have every one of them. I'm told I do a pretty good Stewie imitation. "So, it's come down to you and me, broccoli!" Esprix

I *love* this show. I say this with full awareness of the posible consequences: I like it better than the Simpsons.
Sure, some of the gags are "hit the guy in the nuts" funny, but...actually, there was one episode where he (Peter) did get hit and was laying there, well rolling, just going "Ahhh...sssssss...Ahhhhh.....sssssss" and you're sitting there thinking okay, that's that, but then: "Ahhh...sssssss...Ahhhhh.....sssssss" and you're going, well, okay, now they'll cut to commercial, but then: "Ahhh...sssssss...Ahhhhh.....sssssss...Ahhh...sssssss...Ahhhhh.....sssssss" and so you're going, well, surely they'll cut away now! "Ahhh...sssssss...Ahhhhh.....sssssss...Ahhh...sssssss...Ahhhhh.....sssssss...Ahhh...sssssss...Ahhhhh .....sssssss" I swear it went on for a good thirty seconds and you just start laughing because no one ever does that! Everyone else, every other show, just shows you enough to let you know the guy is hurt, then cuts away, but not here baby. Ah, good memories. Quote:

Line up the people who don't like Family Guy and you have a bunch of people who don't "get it". I don't mean they don't understand it, but they don't "get it".
Family Guy is refreshing because it lets me know someone out there has a healthy perspective. At the polar end of the Family Guy field is those dumb ass Olsen twins and their dribble they call T.V. Why Family Guy? Because it is as rewarding as "Full House" was insulting. If you don't find it funny, that's my litmus test for calling you a dope. The sexual harrassment episode? You need a cartoon show to pull that off - regular TV could never approach that. See, that's the whole point - it's sort of ironic. A cartoon is almost the only way to be that irreverant. I know people who don't watch the show because they don't understand Stewie and the dog. They discount the whole show because those two "characters" aren't real. Duh.

Hate me, boyo, because Family Glop is a lame, disagreeable ripoff of The Simpsons and Pinky and the Brain. Any show that's been cancelled three times deserves oblivion. This and Fox News Network prove Rupert Murdoch hates the United States and will stop at nothing to see it destroyed.
Fie on you, Uncle Beer, fie, fie! You had a golden opportunity to move this to the Pit where I could really tear Stewie and Co. ten or twelve new ones, and you blew it! Fie! Fie!

Hate me! Hate me!
I didn't like the family guy. I got it. I just didn't like it.
The early round of publicity featrured the baby and I thought the show was going to be about the kid. Kind of a look who's talking but, you know, funny. When I watched the show the baby and the dog were the only funny parts but the show concentrated on a cheep rip off of Homer Simpson but with none of Homers redeeming qualitites. So go and hate me.

I loved the episode referred above where Stewie is packing to leave home (It's his first birthday and he fears that the "men in white" are going to put him back into Lois' "uterine gulag".) He's packing all the essentials for his trip - C4 plastic explosives, machine gun, extra ammo, baggie of O's cereal.
Did anyone tape Wed.'s part 2 episode? I thought I had taped it.  Post here or e-mail me and let me know! (10Q-BDBD much)

No matter what you think of Family Guy, you have to admit it's one of the fastest-paced shows ever created. It's great for people with short attention spans. I have a short attention span, which I blame on

This show has it's brief moments of originality here and there. However, I'd say it was about as funny as, say, The Critic (RIP).
As much as people whine, bitch, and moan about the Simpsons, it's still about the best thing on TV and the standard by which all other prime-time cartoons are judged. And by that comparison, Family Guy sucks ass. If you REALLY want to see a funny cartoon, keep yer eyes peeled for "Home Movies" on Comedy Central this fall. From the makers of Dr Katz and Squigglevision. It is ridiculously funny. Only thing that might hold it back? Paula Poundstone voices the Mom of the main character. And in light of current events, this might be a bit of a public relations nightmare.

"Family Guy" has the best dick jokes on television, too:
"Huh -- so that's what Peter's penis looks like." "That's not a growth, Mr. Griffin, that's your penis." "Oh. (pause) And th . . ." "Testicles" "Well, Lois, I tried finding my creativity like you said, first I took an art class... Am..Am I supposed to draw the penis? Then I tried sculpting... Am..Am I supposed to sculpt the penis? Then I tried music... Am..Am I supposed to conduct with my penis? "

*peeks out from behind the couch*
D-d-d-don't hurt me! I just haven't seen it yet! I will! I will!
Seriously, though, it looks hilarious. Although pldennsion's post makes me think twice. Funny, yet disturbing. Which character said that last one, anyway? (I assume that the others were different, although I doubt it. Were those quotes from the same character?) I need to condemn him as the Official Scariest Character on Television (TM).

"Eating lunch is a sin. Taking a break is a sin. Bestiality is a sin."
-Peter, after his Irish Catholic father becomes foreman at the toy factory. There was an old htread in the Pit that had a link to a pro-censorship organization called the PTC, and their comments on Family Guy includied them complaining about the show being broadcast during what they referred to as "family hour", as if they have the authority to designate 8-9 pm as such. Now that Family Guy has returned, I suppose they'll have to go back to actually paying attention to what their kids watch on TV.

If they gave Stewie his own show, then maybe they'd have something, but Family Guy is not that good to me.
Although it is better than most of those reality shows on right now, so I'm torn. If I watch Family Guy more, maybe we can avoid being subjected to another Temptation Island. In that light, Family Guy is definitely the lesser of the two evils.

Family Guy is decent, but not nearly as funny as The Simpsons.
If someone buys me a TV, I'll watch it.

and therefore I don't watch it. Now, if I could somehow figure out how to program my *$&%)*$ VCR via the cable (no, I don't have the book!), I'd tape it.
