General Fox animation thread, Simpsons, American Dad, Family Guy, etc.
The Simpsons
Here we go. The absolute best show on TV, absolutely beloved by all. And why shouldn't it be? It's the utter pinnacle of human achievement. There is absolutely no chance in the world that its writing quality will ever, EVER drop, because that would be just as silly as thinking that a drop in writing quality could ever be reversed. Put those ridiculous thoughts out of your head.
At any rate, this series follows an American family as they attempt to keep their spirits up while dealing with horrible cases of jaundice.
Family Guy
On the other hand, this thing right here is the shittiest piece of shit that ever shat a shit. Poop. I mean seriously, look at it. How can you gaze upon this creation without being fueled with the holy rage of ten thousand suns?
Characters include Boring, Stupid, Annoying, Insufferable Mary Sue and horribly stunted clones of Homer Simpson and Jimmy Corrigan.
American Dad
Egads, it's multiplying. Like cockroaches in a septic tank, Seth Macfarlane productions just keep breeding and crawling up your nostrils while you sleep. How does the man do it? Naked blackmail photos of Fox execs?
Certain crazy people on the Internet claim that this show is actually good, but you should never ever ever believe anything you read on the Internet. Except this post.
The Cleveland Show
AAAAAAGH!! I have gazed upon that which rips a man's sanity from his soul and cannot be unseen! How can a kind, loving God permit something like this to exist? There is no good in the universe! All is suffering! Suffering!
Starring the adventures of a mixed black family as written and performed by white people.
Bob's Burgers
This show follows the adventures of the Belcher family... hee hee, get it? It's funny because they're named after a bodily function! It would only be better if they were named the Gassier family. Or the Fartsons. Anyway, where was I going with this? Oh right, they run a burger shop. Some people like it, some people don't. Guess it depends on how much you like H. Jon Benjamin, who portrays Bob.
Annnnnnnnd, discuss.

I CALLED IT! WOOOOOOOOOO
Granted, though Clerks: The Animated Series says that was about as easy to predict as the sun rising.
That's a pretty considerable downfall though.
Kind of hard to get over.
Well to be fair. . .
No that's pretty spot on.
It just needed a little more time to get its groove.

The characters sucked. It was like having three Peggy Hills and a functionally mute Bobby.
There, I said it.
What an outrageous thing to say!
Twitter
Very strange.
The only thing I like about it is Rolo's voice. I always have to giggle a bit when he says something like "I meant no disrespect madam" or something.
But that's about it.
I'M OUTRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGEOUS!
Didn't Cleveland used to have a hyperactive 12-year-old son? Or is that something the show's not supposed to mention, like his ex-wife Loretta?
The fat kid is him. They never explain it on the show, but apparently he was given ADD meds.
See, I thought just the rant itself was funny because Brian pretty much deserved it. Yes, Quagmire isn't the most upstanding person in the world either, but at least he admits it, unlike Brian.

They also make a joke in the first episode about how he went from the hyperactive little kid to a big fat teenage with no lead up.
Yeah the rant was funny, but (like I said in the last thread) it's just hard to accept the moral high ground going to the slave trading serial date rapist, even if he's open about what he is.
I think if Jerome had given that speech it might have worked better. Instead of "Yeah, I hate you and here's why", it could have been "I just met you and I see right through your bull".
Quagmire doesn't get a pass because he admits he likes to fuck. He's a godawful disgusting person and probably the one i sympaphise the least with.
I'm sorry, but there's a clear difference between dating bimbos and being a serial rapist. Admitting you're a serial rapist doesn't exactly win you any points here.
they don't it be like it is but it do
Does that make me a bad person?

It'd be resolved by the end of the episode.
Or halfway through the episode and then Brian could spend the rest of the episode talking about how terrible president Bush is, or something. And Peter would get naked.
No more then Lois is, and she has pretty huge character flaws also. Considering she's pretty much just as abusive as Peter is.
Anyone looking for some kind of moral compass on Family Guy is watching the wrong show.
26 brand new, self-contained episodes, same cast and crew, coming next year to Comedy Central. You're welcome.
Edit: And Chamberlain, you are indeed a horrible person. After all, you aren't supposed to like the Simpsons after season (insert favorite season here), because once something is horrible, it will always be horrible with absolutely zero chance of improving.
Yeah, Quagmire gets a pass so long as he's just being Quagmire.
I don't think anyone bats an eye at him keeping a dozen asian chicks tagged in his garage, or him ordering enough roofie-coladas that the bartender assumes that is what he wants whenever he's with a girl, or drugging the girl on a dating reality TV show and dragging her back to his room. Or even when he says he'll meet his daughter in 18 years (giggidy). That's all his character, like you said, he's not meant to be taken seriously.
But it gets taken into account when he pops out with some huge rant that is supposed to be taken seriously.
d'oh!
See, this is why Cloud shouldn't be allowed to run the thread.
Hey, I'm just going by the tone you set in the last thread. :P
How the hell is chris the moral compass or the voice of reason?
Tell Brian he doesn't have a soul?
