I think it is really funny, sure the guy has testicles for a chin, but I like the fact that is far less PC than the Simpsons, and without the Pathos and moralising. Why did they cancel it? Twunts.

It still can't hold a candle to The Simpsons in my eye, I don't think any cartoon will ever be as big as that show. Sure, I liked Family Guy, South Park Where has that gone?) Futurama and even King Of The Hill, but for consistent quality it has to be The Simpsons everytime for me. Maggie rules!

Family Guy is fuckin amazing. Fox cancelled it aparently because it is pretty un-pc, they found it hard to secure advertisers for the show...the gave it a shit time-slot and kept changing it around so they pulled it afted 2 episodes into Season3. Cartoon Network then began to show it and the ratings were awesome for a cable channel and then the DVDs were released and i think it was the biggest selling tv show on tv.... Fox then shit their pants and have commisioned another series for 2005...they are making a straight-to-DVD movie of it tho. Music Zone are selling the season3 box set for like £12..there is 3dvds and all are damn funny. Quagmire kicks ass.

I loved Family Guy. I think more than anything it would be the fact that a lot of the jokes in it really did kind of just appear from nowhere and belt you in the gut - I never really felt they went for the obvious jokes.
Plus we used to wind my ex up by telling him how much he acted like Stewie.

Having just watched most of the dvd's I have to say the funniest bit is in the episode where Brian has "problem" and the old woman falls into his urine, the way she slowly crept along and then fell, it was just genius. The live action bit with Alyssa Milano bit was amusing too.

"Optimus Prime is Jewish?!"
"Like a masochist from Portland I'm Rhode Island bound"
"Oh it's cirrhosis the wonder dog"
"...and then I thought, wouldn't it be marvelous to turn out to be a homosexual?.."
"Sweet statutory!"
Genius.
