The show "Family Guy" ruined the Simpson's for me.
The Family Guy is like the Simpson's on acid.
It has the same sense of humor as the Simpson's but it's just over the top.
Could this show kill the Simpson's?
It was funny. The commercials that I saw for it sucked. When it first
started I didn't think I was going to like it. By the time it was over I was
laying in a bowl of piss.
When the Simpson's came on, I felt weird. It took me awhile to warm up to
it. These shows are too similar and they're both good.(well at least the one
episode that I saw of the Family Guy was good)
Something it bound to happen. Either the Family Guy will blow when it starts
or the Simpson's will have to get creative and change it's style or
something like that.

That was definitely the worst episode of "The Family Guy" ever. Rest assured
I was on the internet within minutes registering my disgust throughout the
world.

Well, that's silly. That's like saying "Pleasantville" was ruined by the "My
Favorite Martian" trailer that preceded it.

The family guy was terrible.

Reporter: "Mr. President, why are you continuing to avoid questions?"

Clinton: "I dunno, maybe 'cause you're so fat! Huh-huh-huh!"

....... that about sums up the humor of this show. Absolutely awful.

How dare you destroy my valuable wall and spill my priceless acid! Did you
really think you were going to get away with it?

Can you ask your vicepresident to stop barking at me?

One of the more stereotypical jokes, but the show has a LOT of promise and
potential. The jokes usually are usually hit-or-miss, but family guy keeps
it going at a really quick pace. At times, very reminiscent of the
simpsons.
