Family Guy - The Official Thread

[Lacero]

Simpsons is starting to lose its appeal, finally..lol I watched the last episode about a medieval school play, and it wasn't very good. They are running out of jokes and quickly too. There's just so much anyone could take of Homer's antics. However, the whole ribbing on Catholicism was very funny though.

 

[~Shard~]

Like I said, Simpsons haven't been the same for a long time, nothing like when Conoan O'Brien was producing, etc. I tune into an epsiode now and then, and it just doesn't do it for me - I find myself rolling my eyes or getting annoyed more than anything at the re-hashed, unoriginal plots and jokes. Homer isn't funny anymore. In a word, LAME.

The Simpsons should have learned the lesson that it's always best to leave on a high note - and they should have learned it about 10 years ago.

I believe that The Simpsons cast is signed through 2009 so who knows how long they go, I think they are after the longest running sitcom mark of all time, To reach it they will need to go at least 3 more years.

Meh, I could care less at this stage. Maybe they'll get the "longest" record, but not the "best". They basically screwed themselves out of that one by dragging out the show for so long... not that Simpsons was ever the "best", but back in the day is was pretty damn good...

Family Guy will return after 2 weeks off with 7 all new episodes in a row starting June 5.

Yep, I've been looking forward to it these past couple of weeks. It was fun to watch the fight scene with the chicken again though this past Sunday on the repeat, that never gets old...

Did anyone else just not find last nights episode to be very funny? The Horatio Sanz joke was kinda funny, but otherwise...eh.

I, for the last two episode's, have found american dad better than family guy. They need more stewie in the new episodes

I liked when the camera guy looked at meg then doused himself in gasoline light himself on fire and jumped out a window. I actually laughed out loud at that.

But overall it seems like they're missing something. I still watch because its entertaining but its not nearly as funny.

I agree! I didn't like it at first, but it's really starting to grow on me.

Last night was the first time I really laughed at American Dad. Some of the jokes like when they wanted the daughter to say grace, but she said something like she wasn't religious and then what the brother said . Or when they were trying to decide if the alien was dead and they stabbed his eye. I think they are starting to figure out those characters and the humor for each one. It doesn't seem like they are using the talking fish much anymore though, not that removing it was a bad decision, they already have another talking animal on a different show.

Ya i dont even know if they have given that fish a name or not. He is the weakest character by far.

Family Guy and American Dad

Just wanted to let you guys know that Family and American Dad have both been extend for another season... 22 for Family Guy and 18 for American Dad. But, let me say a little about yesterday episode, American Dad was ok and Family Guy was just as good...American Dad made me sleep by the 2/3 act, so, that doesn't say much for the episode...Future Family guys will be better and,of course, some will standout more than others but some of your guys' remarks make it seems that Family Guy is just not funny anymore...what the hell do you want? It's already one of the funniest show on TV, bar none! I've seen previous season's episode and they were funny, and they were good but, honestly, the stuff in the pipeline is awesome....As I've been saying since OCT. of last year, this season will blow up..It is hell of funny and just classic material.....Sperm dumpster....Come on!

agreed. sorry to all those Jimmy Fallon fans out there, but for the group of 5 or 6 people, fallon sucks.

I loved:

Brian and Stewies part of the song, something like, STEWIE:"I wanna have in-ter-course with you, in-ter-course with you, in-ter-course" BRIAN: "Relations!"

AND

When Peter, Joe, Quagmire and Cleveland were singing that song, I guess its called Journey, and then all these people come to the bar. But one scene, these people are carying out a coffin from a funeral home and the dead guys wife is there crying, and the people drop the coffin and run saying "Thats Journey!" and the casket opens and the wife is like, "WHY!? Why!? - Wait, that IS Journey!" and runs!!

The band is called Journey not the song.

I was laughing out loud at that joke.

TRANSCRIPT:

Stewie: I want to have in-ter-course with you. Uh. ooh. yeah. In-ter-course with you.

Brian: Relations!

Stewie: In-ter-course with you. Hoo hoo hoo. Right?

Brian: Yeah, no great. That sounds good.

Stewie: Alright! Alright. Groovy, groovy. [pauses] Now is there a shorter word for intercourse?

 

[Phat_Pat]

I don't remember that?

Neil Armstrong is shown being filmed on a set. The man yells cut. He walks outside and is putting stuff in his car.

Some guy walks up to neil and says "Hey i just saw you on the moon..." and starts questioning him.
Neil starts making excussing (time delay solarwinds...) and then just suddenly hits him. (I don't remember if it was with his helmat but i think i remember him breaking the helmets glass on the guys face.)

Neil then dumps the guy's body into his trunk.


iono i probably got some of the facts wrong but all i know is it made me laugh

 

[~Shard~]

I found the recent episode to be just as funny as the other Family Guy's this season, I think some people are having too high expectations. Sure, maybe some of the episodes haven't been as funny as the funniest episodes from the previous years, but as another poster said, come on, what do you want! Even if these episodes aren't quite as funny, it's all relative, and they're still pretty damn funny! It's still a great show and I'll be enjoying every episode until Fox cancels it again.

 

[jelloshotsrule]

i watched this weeks' family guy finally... i thought it was great!

sperm dumpster, lighting themselves on fire, the song by stewie and brian, the fallon stuff... all great.

i'll watch american dad tonight. i've found it to be getting progressively better, increasing the number of great gags on it from 0 in the first episode (from memory... was a long time ago), to 3-4 in the last episode i saw. i'm hopeful that it will find its rhythm and keep getting stronger.
