Family Guy was best late Season 2, early Season 3.

It was then that they started to realize their own humor.  It wasn't a full Simpsons ripoff anymore, and it wasn't so random that it didn't matter what characters were involved in the joke.  Now it's just being too random to really have any point in having a storyline, and it's trying to be as offensive as possible sometimes.  I wouldn't doubt for a second that their writing sessions are saturated with phrases like "This isn't random enough" and "This isn't edgy enough."  Normally I like to see the envelope gets pushed, but lately it seems like Family Guy is just trying too hard.

Don't bother watching episode 4, though.  It redefines overkill.

i completely agree...i feel the same way about the greased up deaf guy...and to a certain extent the evil monkey..however the episode where the monkey waits for chris to leave..then puts on the big 70s headphones, cranks up the Foghat, and rolls a doob...that was funny

Did they proceed to show eight minutes of edited Showgirls in animated form?

I thought last nights episode was awful.  There is just absolutely no effort whatsoever to incorporate the cutaway scenes logically anymore.  Its all just

2 minutes (maybe) of story
"yea this is (a. worse than, or b. like) that time I ____"
repeat.


And worst of all, the episode of the simpsons, and every episode of The War At Home was even worse.  When American Dad is the best show on fox's sunday night lineup it brings tears to my eyes.
