Anywho, I could care less. I don't have Showtime. "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta

Shadowstrider Posted December 15, 2005 Posted December 15, 2005 Arrested Development is a terrific show. There are only 4 shows that I watch faithfully. Rome, Scrubs, My Name is Earl and Arrested Development.
Cantousent Posted December 15, 2005 Posted December 15, 2005 To be fair, I've never seen Arrested Development. Family Guy and American Dad are offensively stupid.

Kor Qel Droma Posted December 15, 2005 Posted December 15, 2005 Arrested Develpment is really funny, but the humor tends to be a little weird for some people. And even though the show starts off with a recap of whats going on its still kind of hard for someone to jump into the series. With that being said I like the show and watch it when I can, same with My Name Is Earl. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
Shadowstrider Posted December 15, 2005 Posted December 15, 2005 To be fair, I've never seen Arrested Development. Family Guy and American Dad are offensively stupid. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thats the problem, very few people HAVE seen the show. Matter of fact, one of the stars of the show went by the FOX gift shop to purchase a season 2 DVD set and the vendor at the shop asked to see his FOX ID to get the employee discount. He laughed and pointed at his face on the box to convince her... they both must've felt really lame.
Kor Qel Droma Posted December 15, 2005 Posted December 15, 2005 I remember spitting pop all over the floor during the episode where Tobias finds his old jean shorts... Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.

Hurlshort Posted December 15, 2005 Posted December 15, 2005 Family Guy pokes fun at Pop Culture. Many people here have no clue what is happening in popular culture, so of course you wouldn't find the show funny. It also does great parodies of 80's TV shows, so if you are under 25, there's more content not to get. I hope Arrested Development goes to Showtime...maybe we'll get to see Ellen's girlfriend naked. Oh, that's a pop culture joke, in case you don't get it.
Child of Flame Posted December 15, 2005 Posted December 15, 2005 A-Team episode of Family Guy was GOLD.
alanschu Posted December 15, 2005 Posted December 15, 2005 I like Arrested Development. I love how the "next on" segments have the most bizarre extrapolations of plot sequences ever, and they rarely actually happen on the next show :D
random evil guy Posted December 15, 2005 Author Posted December 15, 2005 A-Team episode of Family Guy was GOLD. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> the a-team episode was probably the best segment on tv ever. including seinfeld.
Oerwinde Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 One of my friends was like "oh man, watch arrested development its so good, best show on TV" blah blah blah. So I watch a couple episodes and get back to him and I'm like "Were we watching the same show? That show sucked." The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
Purkake Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 Just watched the whole thing, it's awesome. Go see it if you haven't it should be on Hulu. It's sad that it was canceled after just three seasons, but there will be a movie next year.

Oh, that's a pop culture joke, in case you don't get it. Yeah, it's still not funny. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
Musopticon? Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 Family Guy is about as funny as Spoons, that is, not at all. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
Hurlshort Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 (edited) Geez, that is the most delayed response ever Gorgon. I wrote that 3 and a half years ago. But what I said is still true. Neither Mus or Gorgon are particularly enamored with pop culture. The show is not aimed at you. This last week of Family Guy revolved almost entirely around the MTV fake reality show "The Hills". Have either of you ever watched a full episode of The Hills? It's a terrible show, but it is a part of popular culture. It's not something to be ashamed of, being disconnected from pop culture. But you should be able to understand that it is the reason you don't find the Family Guy humorous. Edited May 8, 2009 by Hurlshot

Purkake Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 Don't look at me, I didn't necro this thread. I used the dark arts to bring the awesomeness that is Arrested Development to the masses. "But where did the lighter fluid come from?"
Kaftan Barlast Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 The masses already have the awesomeness of AD, but I still cant understand why so many people didnt like it when it aired.

Kaftan Barlast Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 And the trend continues. "Better off ted" which is absolutely brilliant and in the same spirit as AD, looks like its being cancelled mid-season.
