i only saw the two simpsons episodes....i turned off my tv for a second and completely blanked...damn it! But i thought that second episode, fat bart, was very funny. That instructor guy was hilarious :lol

 

[Lemurnator]

he wasnt naming shit, he was giving off the list Fox went through. If anything, it's bashing Fox, not the shows. Except the shitty shows which are a joke in themself, and get a laugh with the mention of em

I know. I was referring to my last post which said that Peter listed off a list of great canceled Fox shows.

I was correcting myself.

 

[Rorschach]

:lol

Family Guy was alright. American Dad had it's moments, but overall, it wasn't that great. I like the gay reporters.

Spoiler

I LIKE like the reporters.

 

[B'z-chan]

Anyone get the feeling that having both on will just make Family guy all the better? Cause American dad was well pretty bad. Especially when compared to the classic Family Guy episode.

 

[Ash Housewares]

first simpsons sucked
second simpsons was good
Family Guy was good as ever
American Dad was surprisingly decent

Titus did fucking rule

 

[demon]

I thought the Family Guy was at least as good as the average season 1-3 FG episode. The comic book scene in the car was fucking hilarious. :lol

American Dad just feels like a poor attempt at copying Family Guy. I think one of the problems is that the characters are just too oddball (even for Macfarlane). I mean, a talking dog and baby is one thing, but a quasi-psycho dad with a starkly contrasting-minded daughter and a weird-ass-looking wife and an alien and a talking goldfish........whatthefuck?

Family Guy is employing a lot more cgi this season, it looks like.

Yeah I noticed that when he was driving.

 

[Socreges]

American Dad was pretty funny. The gay co-anchors were particularly good.

But if the show is cancelled tomorrow, I won't care. Just as long as Family Guy sticks around.

You're too late. Check out this thread, near the end

Family Guy was good and I felt that American Dad was such a huge improvement over its absolutely horrible pilot that it warranted further watching. I'll stick with the entire block for now. It seems that the return of Family Guy even made the Simpsons crew step up their game as that was one of the funnier Simpsons episodes I've seen in a while.

Yeah, for a moment there I thought I was in the middle of an episode of Initial D. It just seems out of place.

 

[aparisi2274]

Come on people, didnt anyone notice the Nazi Symbol on the gamestation in last nights American Dad????

 

[worldrunover]

I thought Family Guy was great fun, and didn't dissapoint at all. I thought American Dad was pretty awful, but it did have some good lines.

 

[Revolver]

Everytime I think of American Dad I'm reminded of Seth's response on the Letterman show when he was asked what's the difference between it and Family Guy. He response was something along the lines of "It's the same show. New ideas are hard." :lol

Anyway, I liked both episodes. Some funny moments in each.

Stan in particular isn't sympathetic in the slightest -- is every episode going to have him massively abusing his position to get whatever he wants?

Well, he does seem to be a conservative. So abusing power to get what he wants just comes with the territory.

Ha. I don't blame him. I would have been okay with that (considering Macfarlane and FG got screwed over) if the show were actually as good as FG.

Now I have a question-- wasn't American Dad created to sort of 'replace' Family Guy before FG was uncancelled. So is there really no reason for Macfarlane and even Fox to continue AD once they don't have to now that FG is back?

Yeah, AD is probably gonna be cancelled after the first season.. No big surprise

 

[galeninjapan]

I doubt it. American Dad was pretty funny yall were just too exhausted from jerking off to family guy to notice.

Best part about Family Guy = British porn

Here is a little blurb about the ratings from Yahoo.com

The return of cult animation fave "Family Guy," which Fox canceled nearly four years ago only to see it have renewed life in reruns and DVD sales, packed a punch with an average of 11.9 million viewers and 5.7 rating/13 share in the adults 18-49 demographic, according to preliminary estimates from Nielsen Media Research.

Not bad... Now I just hope it stays like that.

 

[DMczaf]

Wow, go Family Guy!

 

[explodet]

Family Guy: 11.9 million viewers and 5.7 rating/13 share
Simpsons: 10.7 million, 5.2/11
American Dad: 9.5 million, 4.6/10

They all got slaughtered by Desperate Housewives, though... 25.9 million, 11.4/25.

Well, it was a new episode of Desperate Housewives.

 

[Matlock]

I saw season 1 and 2 in target with free shirts yesterday--

Looks like a XL shirt, one with stewie, one with brian--both talking about getting back on the air.

Stewie: "Your stupid letter campaign worked"
Brian: "Now for contract negotiations"

Something to that effect.

Either way, if you don't have 'em already, go and get them!

 

[Brian Fellows]

People liked Titus? This is news to me.....to each his own.

 

[N Coward Parody]

Ugh, those American Dad ratings are another nail in Arrested Development's coffin. Let's hope they drop below the 6 million mark next week...

Maybe they should do Season 3 of Arrested Development animated?

There's no real reason for Fox to not have both...Does anybody out there give a good god damn about watching a Simpsons rerun every week?

 

[mattx5]

If Fox would get rid of the Simpsons rerun at 8:30 and stick in Arrested Development (Or shift around the schedule and fit it in somewhere between 8 and 10), then they'd have the funniest lineup on television.

Eek, I had no idea the Simpsons is followed by a Simpsons re-run. I'm a TiVo slut, so every Sunday Arrested Development just pops into my Now Playing list like a gumdrop from the sky.

So, did Arrested Development always follow the rerun of the Simpsons? See, that's the problem right there: wouldn't "Simpsons fans" simply be tuning in to watch an hour-long block of their favorite show? And while the idea of The Simpsons in its current form being anyone's favorite show baffles me, wouldn't it then make sense to book-end the two Simpsons episodes around an 8:30 Arrested Development?

Fuckin' networks.

British Man: Margaret, you do realize we could have sexual intercourse right now?

Arrested Development was on at 8:30, it was followed by a Simpsons rerun generally(while it followed a new episode of the Simpsons itself).
