There are many worse examples of this garbage in that show. But I’ve only watched a few seconds of it. Could never stand it.

It’s not funny, yet it makes him laugh.

Family Guy used to be funny, when it was on it’s first run. Once they brought it back, they tossed out the comedy for an endless string of conservative and Republican bashing “jokes”. Yawn...

I’ve never laughed at a Family Guy episode, mostly because it’s written by Manatees taking idead balls and throwing them into a joke hopper. This leads to jokes that are not plot-driven and usually make no sense.

as long as family guy is raking in the advertising dollars, you won’t see it removed.

I grew up on Disney and Lance animations. That spoiled me to inferior product, aside the content.

Haven’t been able to watch this stuff starting with Hanna-Barbera (sp).

I always suspected there was a huge tank of manatees involved in the writing of those jokes that have nothing to do with the plot and make no sense.

Family Guy is an American animated television series about a dysfunctional family in the fictional town of Quahog, Rhode Island.

It was created by Seth MacFarlane for Fox Broadcasting Company in 1999.

The show uses frequent "cutaway gags" — jokes in the form of tangential vignettes that do not advance the story. Family Guy was canceled once in 2000, and again in 2002, but strong DVD sales and the large viewership of reruns on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim convinced FOX to resume the show in 2005.

It is the first canceled show to be resurrected based on DVD sales.

family guys feels like strings of inside jokes after another. I don’t get any the jokes. Wierd characters pops in and out and do their music routine or jokes. It wasn’t funny

Only thing I liked about it was Stewie, the evil baby

I hope not.

During the Star Wars Parody, the “Bush/Cheney” sticker on the back of the Imperial Destroyer made me laugh out loud.

People need to get a grip. It’s satire. They make fun of liberals, too; albeit not quite as much as South Park.

Cartoons are for kids, anyway.

There are several reasons for canceling a cartoon, but "historical inaccuracy" is not one of them.

It's a cartoon, not a history lesson.

That being said, I agree--it should be canceled.

On top of that, the show has featured countless historical inaccuracies.

Umm, it's a cartoon. I find it very funny.

The show is crude. I’d like to see it go away.

So, before any Liberal thinks this is another Conservative bashing a show he has never seen, SHUT UP.

That's as far as I could get....
