Family Guy: my favorite serie ever!
Funny as hell!!! Better than The Simpsons, better than Souh Park. I will be watching on saturdays.

Family Guy recently released a movie on dvd called Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story. If you are a fan of the show this movie is must.

Ah, now the Brits can experience a megalomaniacal toddler with the rest of us. (Oh, and crude jokes as well.) :D

don't forget the bevy of completely random cutaways in each episode!

About time. They have a lot of catching up to do though. I've already seen three series, and there should be a new DVD coming in soon, so hopefully they run it every week until they're the usual one season behind.

Everyone must watch this or I'll go in the huff.

Don't think its the new series though, tv listing i read says its the one where brian becomes addicted to cocaine when he trains as a police dog.

Though American Dad,which is by the same people is on before.

I haven't seen American Dad yet... wonder if it's any good. I'm sure I heard less favourable comments. We'll see...

I think American Dad is good but not as good as Family Guy.
Subjects on American Dad are like terrorism and all kinds of shit involving the US.
Still funny...

So American Dad is more political? Bit of a contrast with Family Guy's mad randomness.

FG is awesome.

AD is a bad rip-off of FG by the same people and fails miserably.

Arrested Development is excellent. The interconnected storylines are fantastic and keep coming back to bite you in the ass.

I think the BBC will get Family Guy from the first series (cos it will be cheaper :p). Cant wait to see it...

It seems to me that 75% of Family Guy's humor comes from mocking TV shows and TV ads. As I am a weirdo that mostly do not watch TV it is all lost on me. I find American Dad, Furturama, The Simpsons and South Park all more funny than family guy.

*I did find the show in which the dog gets addicted to coke to be pretty funny though.

Hmm... but we won't get most of those shows or ads here in Britain, and I still pick up on the jokes. I do miss out on some of the references though.

Well, that is pretty close to the truth!
