      I Hate Family Guy (Do You?)

      I'm even from Rhode Island, and I still can't stand this show. I really don't understand what people see in it, so please enlighten me or tell me how right I am.

      As far as I can see, all of the jokes are juvenile and half of them are based on bodily functions, there is no actual story line in the episodes, and they're generally a mish-mash of stupid, purposefully awkward and contrived joke-sequences which have nothing to do with anything, including each other.

      Did I mention the jokes were stupid? (Like that ten minute sequence of them hurling after drinking syrup of Ipecac... clever? funny? No. Just no.)

      I admit, a lot of the new ones have dropped in comedy ranking for me...but the old ones have a few things going for them.

      One is no 10 minute long scenes...another is the random jokes were clever, and the last is that most of those jokes had refrences to older pop culture things which is what attracts the college level and 30 year old age group.

      Random humor isnt for everyone though. So I understand your position

      Well, I normally love random humor, but I think I love the unexpectedness of it.

      If the entire thing is random, then it would be funnier for them to actually start being cohesive for a few minutes, just for shock value.

      A Show for Potheads

      I'm not sure if you do drugs, but I'm pretty sure this show is almost fine-tuned for people that smoke pot. I quit a little while ago, but I sure had a hell of a time smoking a bowl and watching an episode of Family Guy. Sometimes, stupid random humor is just what you need.

      Although I agree about the new episodes...they're just not as great.

      Family Guy's first couple seasons were great, but their formula has worn thin. If anyone has seen Cartoon Wars from the last season of South Park, that about sums the show up. It doesn't help that it's in syndication, and you can't change the channel without it being on.

      The show is bearable, but only as a last resort when nothing else is on, and I am stuck to the couch. No amount of weed could really make it funny though.
