9/10

This show even though seems like a rip off of the Simpsons, often times it does better. Seth Mac Farlane made the characters much dumber then the Simpsons or South Park to make it funnier. And I love the 80's pop culture references. Seth MacFarlane is a genius, and I don't just say that because he's from my home state of Connecticut. I give it a 9 instead of a 10 for several reasons. I'm normally not offended easily but sometimes the show goes too far. Like when they say Stewie played MArco Polo with Helen Keller, they show him swimming in the pool saying "Marco...Marco" I thought that was just terrible. Or the time when Peter's father says something to Brian who's not Christian. Brian said "Thats very Christian, believe what I say or i'll hurt you." then Grandpa Griffin hits Brian with a rolling pin over the head. I'm not the best or most devoted Christian in the world but I still found it offensive. Other then that...good show.
