I'd say The Goode Family was closer to being a conservative cartoon.

Is it common if you don't like McFarlane's humour to like rick and morty and vice versa? Are they some how mutually exclusive?

Space Cadet Omoly posted:King of the Hill was also pretty conservative. Do you people not get satire? The Goode Family would be "conservative" since it satirizes liberal ideals, King of the Hill is "liberal" because it satirizes conservative ideals. But really neither is "liberal" or "conservative" since I doubt either is intended to push either agenda.

But I don't really mean in the current political sense, I mean more in a morals and ethics sort of way? Like, a lot of times the lesson of an episode was "the old ways are good and have value and should be respected". Although they also had plenty of "turns out the old way sucks, the new way is much better." Lessons too. Maybe the word I should have used is "traditional", except traditional has also been co-opted by modern politics to the point that it no longer means what it originally did.

Maybe some of the episodes were like that, I don't know if I've seen every episode, but I recently re-watched a big chunk of the episodes and enjoyed it a lot more than I did when I was child/teen. Now that I understand the satire. The moral lessons learned by the characters is what's funny, that they misunderstood what they should've learned. Instead they reaffirm their beliefs and Hank and Peggy smile and go to bed knowing all is right in the world. It's definitely not for everyone, but I get it more now than I did when I was younger. Plus Mike Judge has talked about the show on podcasts and stuff.

The tree raping thing was one of the weirder American Dad jokes - in one episode Roger's finds that someone made charges on his credit card, and upon investigation find the guy who did it, and dedicates his day to revenge by destroying the guys life. At one point he does a number on his garden and there the tree line comes in. In what may be one of the funnier, though weird, jokes Roger's finds out that the guy doesn't exist - he is one of Roger's personas gone rogue, and he has crafted his own niche, somehow living his own life. How this occurs is never explained.

Like the one that's the wife of a judge and they've somehow been married for 30 long happy years. The explanation being something like 'when you care about something you make the time'.

I loved the recent episode where they're railing against the factory and when they get there to talk to the owner, they see it's Roger. Roger - "Crap. I had a feeling that was gonna happen."

That one where Roger co-owns an asphalt company just so he can spy on his business partner and use the intel to help a second asphalt company that he runs.

Is this "American Dad" show actually good, or are people here just goofing around? I remember thinking Family Guy was okay for the first season or two, but then it got stupider.

Yeah it is quite good, but the first few seasons were shaky so I think a lot of people wrote it off.

Yeah, very much so. Once it stopped trying to be Family Guy Mk.2 it became its own thing, and is far better for it. It's less random, more character based comedy. It doesn't hinge on stupid cutaways, and has a nice line in the surreal. It moved to TBS a couple oif years ago, and so far this season, it's had maybe 1-2 slightly off episodes. Everything else has been gold.

Does Seth McFarlane even have very much to do with American Dad anymore? I was under the distinct impression that the answer was no, and that that was why it got palatable.

The American Dad episode "Blood Crieth Unto Heaven" is one of the best episodes of TV ever. The reactions of the audience are worth watching it alone. It's definitely not an episode to start of with though because it's the characters playing other characters in a play so a lot of the humor may be missed.

The answer to why Roger can live all those lives and change instantly is that he can move really, really fast. It was explained when he was Snots' girlfriend. Roger gets me every time with violence. I think when he panics and murders Millionaire Matt Davis is one of his greatest.
