mostly only good for a cheap laugh I agree with most of the lower reviews on the new family guy episodes. They just aren't as good. Peter used to be a really lovable character but now hes just way overdone. It seems like there's no more wit in the show anymore but just shock value jokes.
BIG Fan with BIG Dissapointments Since Family Guy started, I have never missed an episode. It is Unique and Funny in every sense of the word. Lately, however, the series has drifted from away from random slapstick to current affairs. The show is becoming to politically correct and the humor is leaning toward specific audiences rather than everyone.
Plus, the fact that "Blue Harvest" will not be available in the season DVD is a crime. They are taking advantage of it's viewers by forcing them to buy the episode seperatly. Which shows me that they want to milk their fans for everything they got. Not a positive step, in my opinion.
Still funny! I cannot stand critics of a show that is just off the wall and funny. It's not meant to have all redeeming features, or values. It cheers me up when the horror movies, news and how the war will be won is off.
Down the tubes I'm not the first to say it. Family Guy was an amzing show and now is some of the biggest crap on television. Is anyone still watching? They took one of my favorite characters of all time, Stewie, and turned him into his exact opposite. No longer the evil, scheming, lil anti christ, all his jokes now involve him in women's clothes or in some homosexual situation. Why are you people buying these half seasons of pure garbage? I stopped at volume 3 or as i see it "the death of Stewie." The rest is a mess of repeated jokes and old humor, cut in half and sold for the same price. Even if you like the show still, at least try and get your moneys worth.
Riding out the fad Family Guy, before it got canceled was one of the funniest shows on television, but like many, it was mis-handled by fox and cancled. It was brought back, largely impart by the huge work of AdultSwim of Cartoon Network, and the first season after the comeback was ok, but not what it was. This season is what drove me from the show. It went from being a replacement of the Simpsons to the Seth Green Politics Show. If you dont agree with Seth, the show loses most of the comedy. Further, the abscure pop-culture references are beyond most viewers. Im sorry but this show is doomed to failure, its like the Simpsons seasons 10-12, where no one cared anymore because its just not as funny. Ratings have dropped for this show during the 6th season.
FYI- For me the final straw was when the made fun of soldiers who came back from Iraq. There are some places you just dont go for a joke, and Family Guy went there. The jokes had nothing to do with the context of the episode either, so bye-bye family guy. Ill still watch the shows from the good ole' days.
