    its like marmite. you either love it or hate it and when you hate it your part of a very small percentage of people who do. except in the case of marmite, its the opposite. who the hell likes marmite? (and who the hell hates family guy?) i confused myself in this post it was sposed to sound clever....where did it go wrong...?

    Well that is becasue the Simpsons now sucks...very badly.And to be quite honest,I t hink Family Guy is going a bit down hill too. I love the show,I have all seasons on dvd and the movie,thats how great I think it is. But when I am watching some of the newer episodes,like in season 4 and 5, some of them seem a bit meh compared to the greatness of the first 3 seasons. It has not sunk to the lows of what the simpsons now is,and I hope it can manage to avoid that.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 654 ✭✭✭DS


    I don't really like Family Guy. It's reasonably enjoyable, but the concept of the show is repetitive and if you watch a few episodes back to back it starts to grate. South Park put it better than I ever could in Cartoon Wars.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,806 ✭✭✭Lafortezza

    I like it but Southpark > FG.

    Did anyone see the new episode on Sunday, a Halloween episode? It was utterly attrocious. I could only watch the first two stories and then I turned off. Just plain unfunny.

    Yes.. we all know that.. it's been discussed to death (and then some!)

    But the OP won't have much look in Xtra-Vision looking for 'Family Guy - Season 4 (Part 2)' on DVD!

    D'ya agree?

    PS - the newer episodes still provide me with a few weekly giggles.. not as good as seasons 1 - 3, but the cultural references still win me over. Movie was muck though!

    It's IS boxed as "Season 5" - right? Not "Family Guy - Season 4.5"? (i.e they're not going all 'Battlestar Galactica' on me!) :D

    The last episode in season 3 was Feb 14 2002 and the first of season 4 was May 1st 2005. They stopped making it for 3 years after it being canceled by FOX which I think was GO's point.

    ah ok. Nice early xmas present though to discover that you have a whole bunch of episodes to watch that you've never seen before !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 942 ✭✭✭Bodhidharma


    I hate it.

    Every episode is a series of nonsensical sh**e, obscure celebrity references and predictable jokes. But then what would expect from a show written by Manatees.

    I haven't seen a single coherant episode. South Park is the king.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,026 ✭✭✭Killaqueen!!!


    No
    Haha I must laugh at people trying to subtly prove that they are true fans.

    I find South Park soooooooooo boring a lot of the time. Can be funny though, but family guy is way better.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,026 ✭✭✭Killaqueen!!!

    Oh and by the way, why DID they market season 4 part 2 as season 5? its stupid! so are they going to release season 4 part two as season 6??!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,431 ✭✭✭Morgans


    Havent been following South Park in ages - not since the first couple of seasons - but I saw the episode where cartman hates Family Guy. As was said earlier, sums up a lot of family guy's problems (to me) very well. Watched Stewie's movie last weekend, given to me by a friend who loves it, I laughed once, I think. Maybe it was a chuckle. I think I've grown up. I had liked FG at one stage and have the DVDs for the first three seasons.

    It was so tragic, Family Guy was always like a poor man's Simpsons. Resorting to madcap humour and just strange, strange jokes. Then, suddenly Simpsons was ripping that off. And became a poor man's Family Guy. Where did it go so wrong???:(
    Simpsons R.I.P.

    While I enjoy the show, it annoys me that it is still going while Futurama is off the air.
    I remember they both premiered on the same night a couple of years ago on Sky One, and since I have always compared them as sort of rivals. Family Guy is simply a semi-enjoyable slice of randomness, while Futurama is the most intelligent and brilliant cartoon series, possibly ever.
    But I do hear Futurama is being made again, which has eased some of my resentment towards Peter and co :)
    Ive seen every episode except the new DVD, and I still think it is one of the most overrated shows on TV. But again, when you just want some pretty dumb humour, FG does the job. South Park is probably the best satirical cartoon of the moment though.

    4 dvd movies coming out next year,and the next 13[thus far annoucnecd] series will air on comedy central in america in 08


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,983 ✭✭✭✭tuxy


    Oh and by the way, why DID they market season 4 part 2 as season 5? its stupid! so are they going to release season 4 part two as season 6??!!

    So they could sell 2 different packs of dvd's.
    The main reason they started making family guy again was for the dvd sales.

    The stories are alot less coherent then they used to be, i think they make the jokes first(sometimes funny) then make some crap story to go with them.
    "Its like that one time....." references are starting to do my head in, its just lazy.

    Haha, saw that South Park, it raised some feckin good points. Season One of Family Guy was genius. The ones after are fairly average.

    Funnily enough, NOBODY watched FG in Season One when it first aired apart from me. The commoners only caught up when it turned a bit ****e.

    American Dad, now THAT is brilliant.

    Yes, I know.

    Listen, I hate the "they were great when they were underground" attitude that prevails on the net more than anyone, but from my experience in 2000 I was pretty much the only person who had even heard of the show, quite simply nobody else bothered watching it. By the time the masses got into it it was series 2 and 3 and it had all went pretty average compared to series one. Dont ask me why, its just what I think.

    Mind you, South Park was pretty ****e between season 2 and about 2 years ago. Improved greatly since
