Hate to state the obvious - but man is that show freaking funny!!! I've never watched it on TV but bought the dvds a few weeks ago. First two seasons were pretty funny, but the 3rd one was off the scale. The funniest thing I've every watched. Reminds me of simpsons in it's hay days.

It is pretty controversial though, I can see why it's been taken off the air.

Un-aired Family Guy episode on Sunday, Nov 8th at 11:00 on Cartoon Network. It's the episode that FOX refused to air a couple years ago.

How come they show it on the Cartoon Network? Isnt that the channel 6 yrs olds watch? Kinda ironic that FOX wont air it, but CN will show it to little kids....

Don't mind me, I'm just bitter because I dont have cable..:(

IMO, South Park really sucks. Half the time I cant even understand what they're saying. Family guy rocks because their jokes are meant for adults and they have funny satire. (Hate to be a hill billy, but King of the Hill rocks too)!

little kids up @ 11 pm EST and 10 pm CST on sunday night. right.
its not like they are playing it at 4pm or anything.
its not going head to head with pokemon or anything.
there are disclaimers before adult swim on cartoon network starts anyways. its called adult swim for a reason, little kids shouldnt be watching.

True, althought they're not intended for kids to view, they're bound to watch it somehow, regardless of what time they show it. (Maybe at 3 A.M would be a different story). I just dont think adult shows should be on childrens channels. (not that it matters anyways, just IMO)

[adult swim] is the shiz, and the only reason I seem to stay up late anymore. Well, that and a few choice games (Desert Combat, Max Payne 2)

SouthPark has it's moments, but I don't think it can match the constant hilarity of Family Guy. That show has literally left me gasping for breath on a number of occasions because I was laughing so damn hard.


Stewey > everyone. You know this. ;)

Pull the stick out of your butt and quit being jealous you can't watch. :p


It's that kinda talk that will get good programming like Adult Swim taken off the air. We should support any effort to bring non-standard cartoons to television. Bring back Family Guy, Futurama, Oblongs and maybe even Baby Blues. BTW, Sea Lab, Harvey Birdman and Aqua Teen Hunger Force kicks Booty!!

Parents should be watching what their kids do, rather than having other people worry about it or blaming the government. The government can pass all the laws it wants up the wazoo but it's worthless unless it's enforced, right? Same story. You can switch around the times, move the programming onto cable, whatever. It's up to the parents to decide what their kids watch and what they don't.

Who the heck says Cartoon Network is a childs channel? It's a cartoon channel. You know, when Looney Toons were invented, they weren't targeted at kids.

Thats an interesting notion. I didnt know Looney Toons was the first cartoon ever. Basically, cartoons were invented for children and they always will be. I didnt say ALL cartoons are for children, and adult cartoons *probably* shouldnt be on CN. Might as well show anime porn on adult swim.

(Again, just showing my disgust cuz I dont have cable. But I do think your argument has no bearing)

Family Guy is great, just one more example of Fox being run by a bunch of retards who obviously need to take an economics course. Hmm, shows that are very popular, keep on the air? Holy crap, it's just so crazy it might actually work!

the reason it was cancelled was because its rating were poor.

THE REASON ITS RATINGS WERE POOR WAS BECAUSE FOX KEPT CHANGING ITS TIME SLOT AND EVENTUALLY PUT IT UP AGAINST FRIENDS :|

fox is eating crow now though. its ratings on adult swim are the highest of anything and those dvds have sold like hot pancakes. too bad all that goes into fox's coffers :|
