Did anyone notice that Family Guy is starting to suck? The last 5 episodes were getting worse and worse

You know that if you've lost the remote there should be some buttons on the TV itself that will allow you to change the channel.Bladibla said:I'll pay the producers to not show family guy episodes if i had the money.

I don't like that Aqua Teen Hunger Force or something like that, or maybe its SeaLab. Oh yeah, I don't like either. :uhh:
SpaceTiger said:As for South Park, it's funny and I have a lot of respect for it tackling so many heavy issues, but it gets awfully preachy sometimes. While most TV shows reinforce the dominant ideology, South Park usually seems to take the least popular point of view and then parades it around as truth. As deceptive as the popular media can be, this seems to me just as bad. There is such a thing as ambiguity, after all.
SpaceTiger said:Family Guy has its moments, but the novelty wears off quickly. It's a very clever show and has writing comparable to the greats, but unlike with the Simpsons (for example), I don't see much below the goofy surface.

Bladibla said:I don't think it is necessarily a bad thing for a program to be for most of the time, consistent in its 'political' views if it has any. (Although, I would hate any person regarding South Park is political)
SpaceTiger said:Did you perhaps miss the scientology, cartoon wars, rain forest, Afghanistan, mormonism, or tobacco company episodes (too name but a few)? The show is more blatantly political than any other comedy I can think of, even "All in the Family". Whether or not it has consistent "views" is debatable, but the point I was addressing was the impact of the episodes on the general public, not the consistency (or lack thereof) of the logic from one episode to the next. Television plays a huge role in "culturing" today's youth and I think it's irresponsible to ignore the messages it sends.
For the most part, I support what they're doing. The show challenges the viewer in ways that no other show would dare to and I think this is healthy for keeping an open mind. I'm just questioning the means -- by being so extreme it may just be training its viewers to ignore the political messages and not think about anything but the comedy.

yomamma said:the simpsons went on about 13 years beforeit started suckng...but they have some funny things now and then...Family Guy just sucks
cronxeh said:see the things that piss me off the most about family guy are:
1. constant usage of "like that time.." and then drifting off to some stupid insult on some celebrity or whatever (dont get me wrong sometimes those are funny - like Tony Robbings HUNGRY)
2. those stupid piano guys "play me off johhny" - like wtf?! they use those in almost every episode. sometimes they inject some other random character in the worst time.
Pretty much poorly written episodes, plot lines, etc. The original idea and the character development of Stewie is great, but the episodes just plain suck
Yes, "Family Guy" is still a popular show with a dedicated fanbase. It has been on the air since 1999 and has consistently maintained high ratings and a strong following.
No, "Family Guy" has not been cancelled. It has been renewed for multiple seasons and is still in production.
Some people may think "Family Guy" is sinking because of a decline in ratings or criticism of its content. However, the show continues to have a strong viewership and has won multiple awards.
This is a subjective question and opinion may vary. Some may argue that "Family Guy" has become more repetitive or less edgy over time, while others may argue that it still maintains its unique humor and style.
As of now, there are no plans to end "Family Guy" and it will continue to air new episodes. However, like any TV show, its future is dependent on ratings and network decisions.
