American Dad (from the creators of Family Guy)

[SRB]

in what ******* universe is king of the hill better then family guy? a show about a familiy living in texas... not funny, not dramatic, not scary, it doesn't fall into any category. why is it taking up airtime??

Why did I post in this thread? Because I watched the American Dad trailer earlier, and I couldn't believe people were praising it. I look at Family Guy the same way I look at Star Wars. I thought Star Wars was just an average movie with some pretty poor acting. When everyone acts like it was the second coming of Christ it's just bewildering. That's how I feel about Family Guy. An average TV show that for some reason unbeknownst to me gathered this enormous following. Comparing it to the Simpsons is like comparing Star Wars to Citizen Kane. Like Family Guy if you want, but to claim it's somehow brilliant is absurd. Personally, I do not think it was that funny, and American Dad is much worse, since it's essentially the same with the stupidity factor upped exponentially. I would be stunned if it got picked up by a major network.

I would put Family Guy above any Disney Cartoon though!

You must have never seen Sorcerer's Apprentice. Or Lion King. Or 101 Dalmatians. Or a bunch of other Disney cartoons.

I saw the trailer

It looks funny as hell.

I'm guessing it'll be on fox like Family guy.

 

[Brondbyfan]

Fox also cancelled Family Guy, I doubt they'd pick this up.

The part with the toaster was hella funny!
























hella?

I heard Seth MacFarlane talking about Family Guy coming back in 2005. Is this true? I hope so my life hasn't been the same without a weekly does of a cartoon Adam West.

The Jews aren't going to be too pleased.

Nah, they'd be cool with it. Jews are cool with everything except genocide and pork.

I loved Family Guy, got them all on DVD. This show, well, as much as i wanted to, i didnt laugh once. Pretty bad. Reminded me of why sitcoms are so bad these days. Dont know how Macfarlane can produce gold with FG, and garbage with this. Family Guy is supposed to come back, so the sooner this show tanks (soon by the looks) the better for FG.

EDIT: i looked it up, and Macfarlane isnt one of the main writers. explains a lot. The main writers, are responsible for the show, "Method and Red". Explains even more. Macfarlane is doing voice work and directing for this show, directing a cartoon watever that means.

that was terrible extremely unfunny... I'm praying that the new Family Guy episodes are nothing like this

[Jambo Den]

Don't forget...

Jesus turned two fish and five loaves of bread into enough food for 5000 jews... these same 5000 people requested to see the receipts for the fish and bread!

 

[nickclubman]

LOL, that was a funny Pilot!!

That fish is well crazy.

NK.

I never watched Family Guy on a regular basis but whenever I was flippin channels and saw that it was on I watched it and laughed my ass off, the one episode that I can remember was when the dad finds out that he's actually black , that was pure genius. Anyway I've always been a Simpsons fan and I don't allow myself to watch any other cartoons similar to it because I don't want to distance myself from the Simpsons

 

[nickclubman]

MAN AMERICAN-DAD RULES! can't wait for it to come on TV, it cracked me up the 2nd time too

LOL @ the Dog he buys "He's got character" *dogs collapses*

NK.

 

[SB9Dragon]

I can't wait till Family Guy comes back. Its hilarious, tons of time funnier then the current Simpson episodes. That show should skip a season and come up with some new material because I've managed to watch like 3 of the episodes without laughing.

The Bart and Lisa friendship episode was the last straw

The simpsons have lost their touch , it used to be really funny. Now it's not as funny. My favourite show of all time are the critic (which is like Family guy but not as funny) the family guy, king of the hill, old simpsons and Seinfeld. American dad looks promising.

Awsome. Family Guys is a great show, And so will this one! i hope it hits the shores of Australia soon
