Family Guy does nothing well.

The people at Family Guy think that if it references or recreates something it's funny.

I'll admit I used to like Family Guy when it first came on, but I was about 11 or 12. Now watching it... I can't stand it.

Oh and.

i still enjoy family guy to a degree, as well as american dad. The simpsons has been lacking for a long time, but it is still fun to watch, its like an old couch. it doesnt do its job that well anymore, but there is a comfort in the familiarity, and it is still acceptable.

Southpark keeps getting better in my opinion. their anti-family guy episodes were pretty on the mark, and they still keep a brilliant amount of subtext hiding in the cat piss and fart jokes.

plus, who doesnt love the show that gave us the greatest evil in television history? Specifically, Eric Cartman and the Christmas Critters.

I'm going to see Billy West at a local comedy club in August. That makes me happy.

i felt the same way after i watched the southpark episode with the manatees that ripped on it. i refused to watch it for months afterwards, but it grew back on me a little. there are some good episodes and some bad ones, however South Park continues to prove itself superior.
