it wasn't bad at all. surprised it lasted this long though

I don't care either way.
don't like it, then don't watch it.

I seriously doubt that King of the Hill being on the air is stopping some brilliant fox pilot from being aired...

It was OK but I won't miss it that much. They have enough seasons for syndication. The surprise is that they'll give Seth Mcfarlane another show. I think his creativity is stretched a bit thin as it is - he can only come up with enough ideas to fill 80% of FG and AD. I mean, there are these terrible gaps where a character will sit on a line or repeat it over and over, like timing didn't mean anything in comedy.

I love it, but ya, it's time to go. They have Hank doing some retarded things now. Running out of story lines.

I thought it was one of the better cartoons out there. Maybe the humor was a bit too dry and subtle for the ATOT crowd. It's also a lot funnier if you grew up in the sort of environment portrayed.

It used to be funny, but they've basically run out of material. I always thought Hank was a great character. "Dale, I've never seen a man so unhappy in a propane dealership."

1) Judge has a new animated series, "The Goode Family," launching on ABC in midseason.
2) Fox is introducing two new animated series in midseason, Mitch Hurwitz's "Sit Down, Shut Up" and the "Family Guy" spinoff "The Cleveland Show."

Cleveland gets his own show? Sweet.

Yup. Here's a preview

well, every character was very one-dimensional and type-casted, so the show didn't really have depth. Now if only they would bring back Futurama, that show was amazing.

How did that last so long and Arrested Development didn't even get to complete its third season? Bullshit, I tell ya. Bullshit.
