Indeed.
In funny TV shows, you laugh really hard, but for me, Family Guy takes it to another level... Even if you hate the show, I can gaurantee you'll get a cheap laugh or two. And also: My favorite scene in any of the episodes... When Peter is jealous of Joe being in the specail olympics,and tries to fake his handicap with a terribly fake video tape with terrible editing...Heh heh. It shows him saying something like.."Oh my God! An oncoming car! ahhhh!", then it shows a scarcrow with his clothes on actually getting hit....And he's driving the car. |

I also think Seth Macfarlane's voice is sexy. Which is why I watch Family Guy almost religiously.
And he's not bad looking, either. |

QUOTE([f]eleeza @ Apr 9 2005, 10:53 PM) No....Family Guy is by Seth MacFarlane and The Simpsons are by Matt Groening. Actually, no. Matt Greoning and Seth McFarlane dont write the shows . They are the creators, but they don't actually write dialouge/direct/etc. For example: Conan O'Brian wrote a number of episodes for The Simpsons. But of course, the creators must agree with what is writen and give it the Okay...And showrunners also take a pig part in this. You have to think of ALL the people involved in creating these cartoons. You can't give all the credit to those two people. If it werent for some of the genious writers, The Simpsons might not even be on TV today. I think what Shortiiex meant was that some of the people that are hired to write for Seth McFarlane have written for Matt Greoning. And that is true. |

What so many of you don't understand is that your beloved Simpsons and Futurama are suffering in ratings. Because of this Matt Groening hired new writers to add shock value to the show to compete with Family Guy and South Park. As for FG ripping of South Park, thats a fallacy within itself because they're too different shows with two different aims at entertainment.

In fact, Matt Greoning said himself that there will only be one more seasons of the Simpsons. I can tell they're running out of fresh ideas...I dont dislike the Simpsons now, but I do tend to like the episodes from around the fifth or sixth season much more. Futurama I never really enjoyed in the first place, but I have nothing against it. |

family guy is more unique than the other two. i think it's more sarcastic than the other two, and it's just wildly hilarious.

How can you say that Family Guy is original if you all admit that it is just a parody of everything.
I, for one, don't think the show is original. I can admit that it is funny at times ... but it becomes a bit repetitive. It kind of gets old when they break out into a pop culture reference every 10 seconds ... and you can totally tell when its going to happen. South Park is a much better show. |

Nah, don't think so.
It makes us laugh in a whole new different way. Sure, it has a family that do crazy antics, but hey, it's hilarious. |

 Don't worry guys, size doesn't matter...to lesbians Group: Member Posts: 2,444 Joined: Jan 2005 Member No: 85,066 |
I don't think it's a rip-off. Even though it copis the style of a family, the family members themselves are different. And besides, family guy is funnier
 ...way funnier than the simpsons... South Park is just idiotic like that...and the part when Peter's knee gets hit and he keeps saying "sssSSt AAAAhhh" for a LONG ass time...is just hilarious QUOTE No, it's original. When was the last time you saw the KoolAid guy jump through a wall into court and yell out, "Oh yeah!" in The Simpsons? Exactly. Sooo true..and since when in any comedy show did a crazy retard say, "Attention All Shoppers, Testicles, that is all" in the microphone? and since when did a sick pervert say "Giggidy giggidy giggidy UGH ..Alriiiiiiiiiight" in the simpsons?

I was laughing sooooo hard at that. I don't think Family Guy's a rip off...I think all three shows have their own characteristics, and they're all different from each other. Although all three shows deal with the dysfunctional relationships the characters have with their friends, family, etc. I love Family Guy the most, though. =] |

Nah, I don't think it's a rip. I suppose Family Guy is like Simpsons, considering the characters[A fat dad, mom, and 3 kids]but it doesn't really matter to me. I absolutely love the show, it can always make me laugh. Especially, the one where Chris is trying to lose weight. xD

QUOTE(Solipsist @ Apr 9 2005, 11:39 AM) Well, if you think about it. They kinda have their share of similarities. Well, Matt Groening atleast thinks Peter's a Homer clone. ( That one Halloween special where Homer finds a cloning hammock. Peter Griffin was one of his clones. ) - Solipsist in stupidity yes, but peters is funny, i mean, peter can make jokes, homer relies on stupidity |
