I don�t think Family Guy is that bad anymore. I�ve mellowed on it in my elderly years.

I thought it was getting better but I watched the first episode of the new series and got as far as Brian making another transphobic joke and it's like why though

Oh it's definitely bad. I just have gotten used to it at this point.

I expected they would have stopped doing those kind of jokes by now. I haven�t seen them all but newer one I saw had a joke about how Quagmire is a harder to write character these days.

That episode also featured Roger doing a Stan persona, if you ever wanted to see Roger's take on the chin.

Early voices sound so off but I kinda like how rough around the edges it was

I usually do a Christmas ep rewatch in December, and it's amazing how any of them could fit right into the current run, they're all just nuts. AD picked up the quality really quickly after that first season.

JethroMcB: Jan 23, 2004; We're normal now.
We love your family.

I'm up to Season 9 in my AD rewatch and late Season 7/early Season 8 has struck me as the point when the show really crystalized into what it still is today. It had been fun all along, but something about the tone of the humor and the high-concept plotting just gels right around there.

That said, one big criticism that I have is that they really drove the "Principal Lewis is a loose cannon degenerate" stuff into the ground fast in Season 8. The writers went from "Would it be funny if the principal hinted at an unsavory past before his current job?" to "Lewis should always be talking about cocaine/sex workers or threatening people with extreme bodily harm." pretty much instantly. It doesn't help that they have "A Ward Show" and "The Worst Stan" back-to-back in broadcast order, which both hinge on the Smiths enabling Lewis' worst tendencies for their own benefit.

I hate to admit that I agree with this. In the height of pandemic work-from-home times, I started putting FG on my second monitor during my workdays and eventually watched almost every episode since I'd given up on it in the late 00's. There was still like one joke per episode where I'd roll my eyes because it was in poor taste, or just lazy, but just as often there would be a gag that got a genuine belly laugh out of me. I also really enjoyed the outside the box episodes they do a few times a season now, like the one where the characters are recording a DVD commentary for a fake episode that we watch play out in silence while different stories and jokes unfold in the audio. Definitely also agree with the description of it as a "hateful show", though.

Did original 4loko even come in kegs? That seems extremely unsafe with the way it mixed alcohol and caffeine.

I'm rewatching "Between a Ring and a Hardass" because it's on Adult Swim right now and it's just a masterpiece. The constant escalation is just incredible.

I just rewatched it too and one of my favorite jokes in it is so simple but brilliant.

"You rang?" "I knocked."

Plant MONSTER.: Mar 16, 2018; I was watching simpsons at 0.75 without knowing until a scene where homer and bart were getting back massages at a hotel and the noises they were making were super drawn out like a youtube poop

I really liked Hayley and Jeff's contributions to the story nonetheless.

Liked this one too. This show has good adventures. Adventures in haley sitting is one of my favorites also

Neeksy: Mar 29, 2007; Hej min vän, hur står det till?

I mean, the episode's point is that the family is coming in as 'guest' characters who don't see them as Steve and Snot, so the lack of B plot beyond horse camp is not too surprising.

Or is it spelled Jeurgen since he's Klaus friend.

If I�m unwinding with a video game this is the 100% best show to have on in the background. I�ve gone through every episode multiple times just doing 2-3 in a night while knocking out a few eras in Civilization. It�s so easy to just tune into and see an A+ gag randomly appear.

The show just took off so well when it accepted its own set of rules for reality can be whatever they want. Especially as it relates to Roger.
