i like family guy a lot, seen every episode, a lot of them multiple times. but the show pisses me off a lot of the time. not because its bad taste or whatever but because seth macfarlane himself and his tastes come through the show like way waaayyyy too much. its like every other joke is some obscure 80s pop culture reference that only he thought was cool or a whole episode will turn into some fuckin show-tune singing bullshit just cause the guy loves that shit. you can tell he absolutely loves the sound of his voice too when he does his character tom tucker and radio announcers and shit, or is talking as brian. other than that its a hilarious show. and i dont know if what im saying is even valid, how much control he has over the show or whatever, it just seems like im watching "the seth macfarlane show" sometime rather than a cartoon. i think carter pewterschmidt is one of his best characters, and joe is fuckin hilarious too, the guy that does his voice is that guy who played elaines on-off again boyfriend in seinfeld
i like american dad but roger can be pretty over-bearing sometimes. and it seems like they try way too hard with the fish sometime. also no one gives a shit about haley or steve, its all about stan. stan is fuckin hilarious lol. id rank it like:
Stan Episodes (god tier)
Roger Episodes
Francine Episodes
Steve Episodes
Claude Episodes
Haley Episodes (shit tier)
