Its mind-boggling how they talk about flashbacks the whole time--because if thats all they do, how do they have any flashbacks to talk about in the first place?

Family Guy's really hit and miss. Simpsons after the millenium has been a complete insult to all the previous fans, but I'd agree that the latest season has been less terrible. South Park is the best at the moment, and has pretty much recovered from the slight drop in quality from the end of season 10 to the second half of season 11.

I'm personally glad they didn't make "imaginationland" into a film, because, although still brilliant, it just cannot compare to the first film, and might have been judged harshly because of it.

Family Guy is alright, never got into the Simpsons. Love Futurama, though, and South Park is epic. I'll watch the Simpsons when there is nothing on TV, which isn't often.

South Park & Futurama > Every show you can name.

...well...add Scrubs in there, too.

I feel like Season 12 so far is total crap.

They repeated the same "How do I reach these kids?" joke 10 times in the last episode and Mr./Miss/G**/L*sbo Garrison is getting annoying.

I'll agree that the whole Mr/Mrs Garrison thing is getting annoying, and the "How do I reach these kids?" joke grew old fast, but the rest of the episode was great. The first 3 episodes did feel different, but the other two, IMO, are classic South Park.

Seasons 1, 2, and 3 were awesome but the newer episodes are terrible; I wish that they never decided to bring it back.

I don't know about you, but it just isn't funny anymore. Old episodes actually had a perpose and a funny story. Now, it seems as if all it is, is flash backs! This show has used the same topic almost 100 times and it just isn't funny anymore. It seems that pretty soon, the characters are going to start talking about the one time that they talked about that one time. I just find it incredibly stupid now. I have to say that any episodes before 2007 were funny, but now they suck.

Anyone agree?

Punkytrd

I don't think you have ever watched Family Guy. It is the show's irrevelance that makes it so hilarious. Try to put their ridiculous acts in context (an impossible feat) and you will just laugh at how random his flash backs are. Or so I do. :P

Its alright, like said, it has its moments, but like Punky also said it has gotten stale and there is really no good direction to the episodes anymore.

I think I've seen every episode. :|

And no, they don't repeat the joke 10 times. Name one episode they've done that in, where the joke is said ten times.

And no, they don't repeat the joke 10 times in any other episode. The only episode that came close to the same repetition is the "HIV positive" one. Name one other episode they've done that in, where the joke is said ten times.

It has it's moments. Good and bad.

It definetly seems to love stretching the unfunny parts. Like the 2 minute projectile vomit fest or the last two chicken fights.

The first few seasons were great but then it mostly went downhill from there. Some are still funny, but for the most part they aren't as good as the first ones.

It was crap for a while there, but it really all turned around and started becoming good again when Stewie finally killed those 2 old-timey piano skit guys.

family guy had purpose!? Are u insane!? family guy (FG) has always been the most retarded show on TV. As far as FG is concerned, a good joke is making reference to a completely random and irrelevant event all the while while drunkedly trying to mantain an uncohesive story that makes NinjaGaiden look like Lord of the Rings. In short, it is the most braindead cartoon I have ever seen making 2 stupid dogs feel like Ghost in a Shell. I think that episode of South Park where FG wants to display an image of mohammed cleary explains how retarded the show is.

I like how the show tries new things. I personally find south park to be really boring most of the time, and seems kinda old fashioned.

I find Family Guy to be really creative, even this season.

Eh, I've never found Family Guy as "HEELARIOUS" as my friends say it is. I'd MUCH rather watch a witty show like 30 Rock (which has quick, random flashbacks but they are usually relevant to the story and are usually hysterical), The Office, or Scrubs over FG (NBC really has excellent comedies). Hell, I'd rather watch a random rerun of Arrested Development.

Speaking of 30 Rock, I'm really surprised that a lot of people haven't heard of it. It's on right before The Office, it won the Emmy its first season for Best Comedy Series, and it is seriously funny. Watch it people! I don't want it to turn into another AD and get cancelled way before it should.

Simpsons: there hasn't been any good episodes since like, the 11th season. and even the simpsons movie didnt get anywhere near as funny as the old school episodes, though it did have its humourous moments.

Family Guy originaly funny, went downhill, though I had hope for it after Blue Harvest (Which made me nearly wet my pants at times) but then it was back to abillion flashbacks and no plot.

I dont have Sky, or whatever you call the thing where you have a box that gives you hundreds of channels over there. And i live in England so i rarely see newer episodes of Simpsons or Family Guy, im always about 3-4 seasons behind :( But i guess that means i dont get the problem with new episodes getting worse.rb2610

Dude, brand new Family Guy is on BBC3 practically every single night. :?

Nothing but a bunch of flashbacks, random jokes, and liberal rhetoric with republican bashing, and when i say that, i mean this show quite literally goes after every fundamental belief of the republican party, it get's pretty bad. I tired of the show very quickly. Futurama and South Park ftw.

Family Guy was only funny in the very first few episodes. They steal jokes from Demetri Martin, South Park and the good Adult Swim shows. They don't even do it with any class.

It's probably the most shallow sitcom on television.
