I fucking LOVE Family Guy. I don't know too many people that don't.

Here's where I'll apparently deviate, though....I'm not fond of American Dad. I thought I'd love the show at first, but it doesn't quite have the timing of Family Guy, and come on.....there's only so many times you can make fun of a particular political party before it gets really really old.

The Karl Rove jokes, however.....they never get old.

I have to say, this poll may be a little biased, as people that don't know what "Family Guy" is most likely wont bother clicking on the poll. Just a thought... Genius show though, definily one of those programs that even if you are watching someting pretty good already, and that show goes to commercial, you switch over to Family Guy, but never switch back.

Do I ever! Best American cartoon ever to grace the TV, and inferior only to our quirky British humour (I'm thinking Fawlty Towers, Spaced and Red Dwarf to greater or lesser extents).

I'm one of the few who'll come right out and say that I really despise that show. The humor is juvenile, the evil talking baby who no one treats as anything but a 6 month old is outright ludicrous, and the apathetic talking dog is boring instead of ironically sarcastic as intended. When my husband turns it on I go into another room with my headphones and play on my comp or read a book or just listen to the music. I think the show is awful, and I'll never understand why it has lasted so long.

I tend to find the random humor segments to be the heart of the show.

Which is exactly why I hate "Family Guy". I watched it when it first came out, but then it when off air. When it came back on, I had already begun to hate television and all it stands for. Now, my intelligence is questioned by a number of people I know personally because I don't watch the show.

Also, the quoting of "Family Guy" was entertaining the first five minutes, but doing it the whole week between shows? C'mon. Please. There's more to life than "Family Guy".*

They never stole from the Simpsons. They did make a few jokes that involved the Simpsons like when Stewie ran Homer over.

I agree... I loved the old ones, but it just feels like the new ones are just trying too hard, or not trying at all... I'm not sure which. It's so very sad. I'll laugh every now and then, but its just not the same...

I have to admit, one of the stupidest things was when FOX canceled Family Guy, then Cartoon Network brought it back. for that little while, i truly forgot how good Family Guy is. Then FOX brought it back, and TBS has it, so i get a pretty good fix of it, along with seasons 1+2 on dvd.

but my favorite episode is he's to sexy for his fat

Security Guard: Alright son, we're gonna need those two hams back.
Chris: Huh? I don't have any hams.
Guard: Lift up your shirt, son.
Chris: I need an adult! I need an adult!
Guard: You're not a shoplifter, you're just a fat kid. Sorry about that fatty fat fatty. Hey Tom he's just a fat kid! Aren't you, fatty? You're just a big ol' fat kid. Here's some chocolate fatso.
Chris: Thanks.

the other great one was e. peterbus unum

Police Officer: Hey. That's Against the law. You're coming with me.
Peter: (singing to the tune of U Can't Touch this) Ah ah ah ah. Can't Touch Me/ Can't Touch me/ Ja ja ja ja just like the bad guy/ from Lethal Weapon 2/ I've got diplomatic Immunity/ so Hammer, you can't sue/ I can write graffiti even jay-walk in the streets/ I can Riot, loot, not give a hoot, and touch your sister's teat/ Can't touch me/ Can't touch me/
Adam West: What in God's name is he doing?
Peter: Can't touch me.
Cleveland: I believe that's the worm.
Peter: (still singing) Can't touch me/ STOP, Peter time/ I'm a big shot, there's no doubt/ light a fire then pee it out/ Don't like it, kiss my rump/ Just for a minute, let's all do the bump/ Can't touch me/ Yeah, do the Peter Griffin Bump/ Can't touch me/ I'm Presidential Peter/ Interns think I'm hot/ Don't care if you're handicapped, I'll still park in your spot/ I've been around the world/ from Hartford to Back Bay/ It's Peter, Go Peter, I'm so Peter, Yo Peter, Let's see Regis rap this way/ Can't touch me.

American Dad steals from Family Guy. Still funny though.

Of course Seth MacFarlane created both so I guess that explains it...

It was rather funny at the time, and while it was unfortunate that it was cancelled, it was, at least, still funny.

...and then they brought it back from the dead. Now it's not nearly as funny. And I'm afraid it'll end up looming on the horizon as the next undead-zombie family comedy that won't go away, just as soon as we can finally lay the undead-zombie Simpsons to rest.

I disagree, family guy is still extremely funny.

TOp 3 shows
Family Guy
Southpark
Simpsons.

I'd have to say that the simpsons need to be redone; they try and force like...3 episodes into one, rather than focusing on one extremely funny situation.

Family Guy is good 95% of the time. Frankly I can't WAIT for the commentary of "Patriot Games"...that's the funniest episode EVER. The one where Loretta cheats on Cleveland isn't so great, and Petarded is only good for the first ten minutes, but the rest of it's pretty good.

"Shipoopi...Shipoopi...Shipoopi...the girl who's hard to get...Shipoopi...Shipoopi...Shipoopi...but you can win her yet."

Family Guy = Futurama, and both > American Dad, which is still pretty good. The Simpsons needs to either get some good ideas or get the hell out. It used to be good, but now, Family Guy's better.
