Yes, this is technically a snowclone, but I still think the point stands.

I just watched the latest episode, and they seem to have made Brian less of a Black Hole Sue, and they didn't have very many Manatee Gag examples IIRC.

You know these shows are written by a rotating cycle of writers, right? It means the group that writes the really awful ones will have their turn again.

Family Guy was never bad.

It's both the funniest and unfunniest tv show on, the same episode can have the very best any very worst writing.

The last new one I saw though (Chris and Meg switch places with Peter and Lois) was pretty decent throughout though. I was pleasantly surprised by the lack of Meg abuse, at least.

In my opinion, Family Guy has always been a decent show. The writing can get pretty bad, but it can also swing around and be pretty hilarious. So some of their jokes are in bad taste? I agree, that's terrible. Most of its pretty decent, though, and those rare gems will just have you cracking up.

Family Guy has it problems, yes. It also has its merits. As such, I try to catch it when new episodes air.

It could get better if it stopped being an Author Tract. I doubt it's going to happen

I honestly prefer the more recent seasons to the first three.

Don't look at me like that,I know every character has completely changed directions but I find them funnier this way Yes even Stewie. Honestly I found the Evil Stewie kind of a Flat Character and given I have similar belife's to Brian he doesn't annoy me as much

I the agree the writting is constantely changing quality

[up] That's pretty much my opinion on Family Guy as a whole. It's very hit-and-miss, but I still think it's a good show that I can turn on a get a quick, cheap laugh from every time, and that's pretty much all it's setting out to do.

Yeah, Family Guy is very hit and miss. When it hits, it's decent. When it doesn't, it's just weird. And that's pretty much what a lot of comedies go through.

Season 9 was awesome. Is it me, or were there way more continuity nods than usual?
