| It's certainly gone downhill. Some of those old ones still make me laugh out loud, but the new ones rarely elicit even a chuckle. I think the real decline started when they did the whole "Stewie kills Lois" two-part crap. |

| it used to sometime make me cry with laughter but for the past few months I haven't bothered watching it, there's too much good stuff on at present that keeps me occupied like Sons of Anarachy Underbelly Burn Notice Two and A Half Men Samantha Who 30 Rock and with re-runs of Murder She Wrote, I ask you who could hthe time to watch Family Guy ? |

| Ever since I watched the South Park episode about Family Guy, I've found that the show is rather dumb. |

| yeah, both Family Guy and South Park are unfunny these days. I found American Dad to be funnier then the Family Guy episodes when it was on.
Simpsons has never been very funny IMO. Maybe I miss some of it because looking at it gives me a headache. |

| I prefer American Dad to FG nowadays. An alien that sounds like Paul Lynde = awesome!!! FG sucks now cuz it's only a vehicle for McFarlane to preach his beliefs and tell us who or what he doesn't like. The only show I actually look forward to and love is Sons of Anarchy. It might be time to bring back my SOA avatar. |

I disagree about The Simpsons. They used to be funny as hell and around season 6 (if I remember correctly) is when the downfall began. As the years went on, it got far less funny because they started doing all this useless travelling and the jokes were so forced and stupid. The old episodes had jokes that flowed and weren't lame attempts at a laugh. Far more effort was put into the jokes and episodes in general. They try way too hard now and fail. It isn't the same as it once was.
I know after going for about 20 years, it's hard to stay fresh, but someone needs to kill and bury The Simpsons. They are long overdue for death. |

| Gotta disagree. I think Family Guy still is loads of fun. Certainly not as solid as the earlier seasons but still good.Same with the Simpsons. |

| I used to love The Simpsons but I quit watching it years ago. I agree that the jokes used to seem to come naturally but now they seem forced. I think the show used to be sillier too. Remember when Homer lost the Employee Of The Month to an inanimate carbon rod? Something that silly would never happen on the show now. _________________ "Don't reenact scenes from 'Platoon' with Charlie Sheen."

| I tried watching Family Guy early on and it did nothing for me. It was just a bunch of 80' pop-culture refrences strung together with no rhyme or reason. I can't imagine it got any better. The Simpsons jumped the shark many seasons ago. What was once my favorite show has run out of decent story lines. The plots are dumb and the jokes are forced and lame. I rarely watch it anymore. _________________ A legend in posting since February 1st, 2007

| I still like Family Guy. I'm still kind of new to the show. When it first came on I thought the first episode was hilarious and then I wasn't too impressed with the second episode so I didnt watch it for years until I started watching it by chance one night and I thought it was great. I think this past sundays episode was good. The whole speed chase thing with Fred Flintstone was really funny. The Simpsons is still good too. Every thing is hit and miss no matter what. Not everyone can be spot on every time _________________  |

The Simpsons is still good too. Every thing is hit and miss no matter what. Not everyone can be spot on every time. What I do think is bad though is that stupid show that was on 2 weeks ago with the people who did the voices on Family Guy. I didnt see the need of that thing. _________________  |

hahaha, that was priceless. Stories like that will never be told again.
I forget what season it was but it was the first episode of that season and a guy did a cartwheel in the park to get out of the way of a car. I think someone was driving drunk or something, I can't even remember, but the cartwheel guy was the last time I ever laughed at the Simpsons.
Anyone see the Cleveland show? What a steaming pile of crap. |

Between that,Family Guy and American Dad, Mcfarlane is probably spreading himself a little too thin. |

| Can't say I ever enjoyed Family Guy. I don't even remember why but it's never made me laugh enough to justify watching it.
I love The Simpsons up through season 4. Around the fifth or sixth season, though, it clearly had begun declining and by the eighth season it was unwatchable for me. I think the last episode I thought was truly hilarious was the one with Homer going to work for the Bond villain. |

| I just got into in the past year or so through reruns. I like it. I haven't seen this season besides the season premiere (which was great). I'm usually doing other stuff Sunday nights. |

Personally, American Dad is just as bad, it seems like anything Mcfarlane does is just a derivative repetitive smurf poo heap of his previous work. |
