im surprised you even own a TV, couldn't you be EVEN COOLER!!!! if you ditched that and then made sure to tell EVERYONE you meet that you never watch that horrible idiotic contraption
cutie pie
This particular episode was a strong hit or miss in that when it hit it was HILARIOUS, and when it missed, it was dead in the water.
...
I find myself agreeing with the AFA. It should be a TV-MA show, considering just how much detail about sex the show goes into week after week. I'm not saying it should be censored, but it isn't much nicer than South Park (which holds the TV-MA banner proudly, like a badge of honor).
CUZ... Brent can't fit in the glory hole and that's why we all love Brent, pfft pfft.
A casual observer of the way American Christianity behaves would certainly get the impression that putting the hate on teh gays is Jesus' top priority.
Also re: Family Guy. It's 90% crap. Really stupid crap. But that last 10% just about makes up for it. If you've never laughed at _anything_ in FG, then you are a robot.
That's priceless. I wonder if they have a pornography section of the site with a similar disclaimer?
"WARNING: These scenes taken from the Behind the Green Door are highly offensive, but watch them, get a stiffy, wank a bit, and then declare how outraged you are"
So AFA, the next time you see that maybe you should turn the fucking station... oh wait, your TV's only get FOX, you can't turn it.
The opinion just expressed is now accepted fact. Go forth accepting it as such.
That said, McFarlane went on a great rant about the Parents Television Council a couple months back where he said, "[It's] like getting hate mail from Hitler. They're literally terrible human beings."
Paul, this Sunday's episode is a good jumping in point for you -- nearly the entire cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation is guest starring for most of the episode. Preview here:

Way to stick it to those Godless heathens, guys!
If Patrick Stewart were made a permanent cast member of Family Guy, then perhaps I would watch it.
McFarland's other show, American Dad, is actually much funnier...
I just had to fill out a complaint form (using my alternate "send stupid shit here" email address). I took their suggestion to "edit the following message with your own words" and replaced the word "complaint" with "endorsement."
It's like the Kindle. Pretty useless on the whole, and overpriced, and only n00bs watch it.
I'm a little weirded out that Schmader is so anti-Family Guy, since McFarlane regularly includes pro-gay rights messages in his shows, and is a big musical theater enthusiast.
I've watched Family Guy since it started, and religiously on Adult Swim post-cancellation. To me, the actual secret is that MacFarlane wants to be a song-and-dance man. The "Road" bits, and the episode when Brian and Stewie sing with Frank sinatra, jr. are priceless.
It's probably a good thing these folks have never seen Stewie get all gay. That even creeps me out a little.
@9 - it's viewable even w/out the teevee, on the Internets, on that Hulu . The hip have no escape.
The only funny thing about Family Guy is Stewie, and always has been.
Take your head out of the "Things It's No Longer Cool To Like" section of the hipster newsletter and live a little.
I lived in Rhode Island, which makes it even MORE funny.
It makes fun of everyone... that is awesome.
And you know what Bette said "F*^k em if they can't take a joke!"
Although I prefer American Dad.
Family Guy
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Trailer Park Boys
My Name is Earl
American Dad
David Schmader = also very funny. And smart and cute.
Seth MacFarlane = smokin' hot, possibly a genius.
Glad I could clear all this up.
funny, funny stuff

But my favorite Family Guy is when Stewie's collecting the money he loaned to Brian. HA HA!! "Give me my money! Where's my money?!?" Stewie procedes beats the shit out of Brian, shoots his knees out and then torches him with a flame thrower! Ah sweet sweet memories!!
Day Man. Fighter of the Night Man. Champion of the Sun. Master of karate and friendship.
And IIBC, the FCC has issued new guidance limiting complaints about "obscene, indecent or immoral" programming to such coming from those who actually saw the broadcast in question; the better to control frivolous and time-wasting boilerplate needlessly wasting FCC time and resources.
Worth recalling here, too, is the Supreme Court's three-point test for determining legal obscenity, as per the 1973 Miller v. California ruling:
And then again--correct me if I'm wrong--the AFA's desire for "prevailing community standards" vis-a-vis obscenity are more than likely to be unwritten "local tradition" based on zero tolerance in some socioeconomically-depraved backwater of the Deep South, the kind not even Wally World wants to open a store in.
"The Internet is too violent." "shows that perpetuate violence should not be shown on TV". " How can they show trash like this . Don't they know it's evil". Get a life and learn that the only way to truly stop kids from watching, "such terrible shows" is to be proactive. keep your mouths and your foolish opinions to yourself. Be an adult and in charge.
Just a few of the many thoughts that cross one's mind when we hear about people who do not like what they see or hear. Simple point, and it's very easy to do. Stop watching listening. Throw out the TV. Teach your children that humor is one of the few things that make life worth living. and of course one sure way to spoil that is to have people without the sense God gave a toad demand that we stop living because they wanted children without having to face the responsibility they have to make sure they do as they tell their precious rug rats.
Family guy is truly one of the most entertaining, irreverent, enjoyable shows of it's kind ever to hit the airways. It was brought back with new episodes because the public demanded it. They have never looked back and have gotten funnier with each show. I for one feel this show ranks up there with the Simpsons for longevity and has no equal.
So good people. As i said. Get a life and let the rest of us enjoy the things we like. Find some other venue where people actually give two cents about your opinions and your never ending search for others to watch over your children's fragile minds. Turn off the TV. Throw it out if you must but a stop trying to spoil the fun the rest of us.
Also, I think it was implied that Stewie may or may not have been eating horse sperm, and he didn't care either way.
Two possibilities: one if you live with people, the other if you don't:
1. Part of the normal give and take of associating with other human beings. Then they'll in turn watch "5th Grader" with you.
2. To see if it still sucks like it always has. This usually follows some seemingly normal person's praising it.

family guy is very funny. because its so offensive and smart. of course its not the best show on TV, and lots of normals watch it. Who cares? dont watch it. McFarlane is the first person to admit he doesnt need defending. he makes fun of every facet of pop culture, including you weird hipster trolls.
its kind of like the "Prince" test. if I meet someone that claims that they have NEVER enjoyed at at least one minute of family guy, they either have never watched it for more than a couple of episodes(which means they dont know what they are talking about and therefore are assholes), or they are just fucking liars. or they have absolutely no sense of humor.
We all get the same amount of time in a day...if you and your family choose to watch the "Family Guy" I pity you and them. Life is a gift! Nice convenience in the modern age is that we all get to have down time. And we all like to have down time but come on...FG is a big zero in every category...mindless, bathroom humor...you could fart and make yourself laugh and you'd be better off...
"What a man thinks, he is..." you may have heard this before, but if you don't think what you watch, what you read, and what you listen to has any bearing on your life...you have a WHOLE lot to learn...you're ok with your seven year old watching a show that has a kid eating cereal and sperm?
and before you make fun of Christians you should try it first...attacking isn't necessary--it saddens our hearts that this show makes a mockery of God, marriage and family but perhaps you hold none of those sacred so you choose to attack instead acquiesing and showing honor. If you wish to defend "your right" to watch FG do so without contempt and animosity. Most of the comments on this site may be from people who probably believe in God when its convenient but don't ever darken the door of a church and have no problem dropping the "F" bomb regularly. A relationship (not religion) with God would transform your life more than you can even think or imagine. Try giving God 30 minutes of your time a week instead of watching trash TV like this show and dropping the "F" bomb every chance you get. Some of you will be offended by this but--the truth will set you (and your family) free...I am praying for you and hope God blesses each of you!
As for the person who gave FG crap for having a ten minute fight between Peter and a "Rabit" (I believe that was a chicken I'm gonna be disappointed if I missed one with a rabbit)... that's only a small part of the show. And God Forbid they use a type of comedy that they don't normally implement. Stop being such a whiney little tit mouse.
All the jokes that FG used that offended this Christian had truth to them, and that's why they were funny. Just becuase a TV show makes fun of the country's majority religion does not mean that it's too apalling to be aired. to the commenter, "christisking": maybe the books I watch, the videos I read, and the faces I subtlety fart upon do make me who I am, and I don't need someone to pity me just because Family Guy is a core part of my media exposure. I think I've turned out fine, and my opinion of myself is far more important to me than that of society. Why did you assume that all these people here have kids and why did you assume they let their seven year olds watch family guy? I don't have a kid, and if I did I would not rely on a shows cancellation to be what determines what they watch, it is a parents duty to regulate what their kids see.
Go ahead and pray for me. Since I'm a family guy fan I must also be a satanist, so I'll be praying for you also (To get a sense of humour).
And if those "Hipster" kids are now finding it trendy to hate on FG then that is awesome. What will they not do to be a hip kid?
