Family Guy

Who doesn't love Family Guy? If you don't I wanna hear from you! Yes you.
This is one of the most hilarious cartoons ever, they make jokes about the obvious and pointless things. And they are still making episodes after...how long has it been on the air? First it was on Fox, now you can see it on [Adult Swim] AND Fox.

Well I wanna hear what your favorite episode is. Or if you dont like Family Guy, why?

Personally my favorite episode is where they kill Mr. Weed and Peter tries to become a jouster.

Well, it's been around since 1999. But, it's only in it's fourth season. It was cancelled and there were 3 years no new episodes were made. They only recently started making new episodes because Fox realized "Shit, this show is actually popular! Better uncancel it!" (thanks to [as] and high DVD sales)

Anyway, favorite episodes.... Probably gonna have to be "Death is a Bitch" and "Let's Go to the Hop".

Is it just me, or has the current season been a tad more off the wall. Not that its bad or anything, but the older episodes used to stick to one plot & have zany tie-ins. The recent episodes seem to have 2-3 plots working at once.

For example, in the first new episode, Peter & Lois go away for a marriage retreat, and somehow end up in a battle with Mel Gibson. And later episodes seem even more off the wall to me.

Family Guy is the funniest tv series out there right now.

The new season does seem a bit more off the wall.
Personally, I have never met anyone who didn't love Family Guy. Is it even humanly possible. I sure hope not. I can't believe they cancelled it at one point. Really big mistake. Glad its back on though!

I think its the Simpson's breaking through. I read somewhere that Mcfarlane wanted to get more Simpson-esque, more devolped minor characters, involved plots, etc.
I don't have favorite episodes, but my favorite dialouge is when Peter takes the newly ninjustu-trained Lois into the bar and makes fun of all the New Yorkers.

Yeah, and in the middle of it, he proclaims 'Krypton Sucks', and gets Lois to kick the three bad guys from Superman II into the Phantom Zone! It's this kind of non-sequiter humour that places Family Guy close to my heart. I haven't seen the new series. I'm gonna wait on a legit broadcast over here. *Crosses Fingers*

Basically that show has turned my life upside down-face

Favorite episode is either "Death is a Bitch" or the episode featuring Stewie's first birthday (can't remember the title).
The first because Death is a hilarious character ("Ah, now I'll never be a virgin! Or, will I...? *rocking motions*")
The second because it's just hilarious, especially Stewie vs. the Man in White.

Man in White: What do you want?!!
Stewie: Freedom! What do YOU want?
MiW: I want to get out of here!
Stewie: I'm sorry, we're all out of that. All we have left is swift, untimely death! *appears carrying large ray-gun*
MiW: What is that?
Stewie: It's a boy! *gun fires*

Good shtuff, that.
