Well the latest TV fad is finally starting to slow down, but not fast enough. And it just keeps getting worse and worse.
Do the writers have ADD or something? They can't go 5 seconds without breaking into some inane sequence that exists solely for a pop-culture reference, with no trace of subtlety.
"This is like the time when..." "Just like when..." "I haven't felt like this since..."
Jeez! Give it a rest already! Why do they even bother trying to pretend that there's a plot? Why not just turn the whole thing into a sketch show?
So is there anything original or innovative about Family Guy? No. It's trying to do what The Simpsons and South Park have already done, and it doesn't do it nearly as well. It's utterly forgettable. Years later when Matt Groening has become the modern day Hanna & Barbara, people will say "Seth MacFarlene who?"
Another thing I don't get about Family Guy fans, other than their ability to withstand day after day of reruns of the same crap, is how they always use the argument when defending Family Guy "It was brought back from cancellation twice, so it must be good". There are things better than being brought back from cancellation twice, such as being brought back from cancellation once, or better yet, never being canceled at all.
But whatever. Watch your crappy show. Enjoy it while it lasts. But when you come across the DVD sets selling for 2 bucks apiece at the old pawn shop, it will take you a few moments to remember that title "Family Guy".
