American Dad

I tried to watch this again. Making it only my second attempt to do so. I know I shouldn't have, as even the fools who say that 'Family Guy' is good (which it isn't) don't like this show. But I was lured in by what seemed to be Patrick Stewart doing the voice work for what seemed to be a crazier version of his character from 'Conspiracy Theory'...

And so I waited for the funny.

And then waited some more.

And then they had a fake commentary voice over.

Followed by another minute of waiting for the funny.

And then I turned off the tv and went to take a shower 'cause I suddenly felt unclean...

Stop it!!

I'll do that when you stop watching 'Attack of the Show' and 'Judgement Day'...

I watched one ep of American Dad on [adult swim] when they first aired it. I think it's exactly as bad as Family Guy, which is atrociously bad.

I just wish viewers would demand more out of their television because otherwise viewers like us are going to forever have to avoid tv because of drek like this.

Meh. Family Guy consistently entertains me. It's got a deadpan absurdity that appeals, and, unlike, say, The Simpsons, actually has original jokes that I haven't seen done somewhere else, better, first.

Never seen American Dad.

(Obligatory: A guy with an anime character icon complaining about Family Guy. Classic! You almost had me going there, for a moment!)

I like Family Guy. While it is not necissarily compelling I usually get a few chuckles out of it and it is one of the shows I will actually sit down and watch. And thats rare you know, cause tv is evil.

American Dad however gives me brain damage.
