Artist's Comments

As of January 31, 2009, it's been ten years since "Family Guy" made its debut on FOX. And oh boy, what a difference a decade makes.

I won't try to pretend that I'm still entertained by this show, because I'm not. I won't even try to paint a picture of the first three seasons as the perfect example of what the show could be, because that's not true either (even the so-called "glory years" tended to be mediocre at best). But at least in the spirit of Seth MacFarlane's trademark cutaways to things that are only tangentially related to what's going on, I can remember the time, way back in 1999, when these characters showed promise.

What'll the next ten years bring? I'm not sure I want to think about that...

I agree with what Brain said, the show has gone down hill.

Yeah nowadays it's the same stuff: meaningless pop culture references that lack that 'Simpsons' flare and subtlety, two people talking to one another trying desperately to reach a punchline, and trying just WAY to hard to be edgy for today's brainless audience.

Family Guy just isn't worth watching. People look at me like I'm crazy that I am not fond of this show. But you know what, I always rebel against popular opinion cause most of the time it's usually wrong. And popular opinion on Family guy being 'the funniest show out there' is dead wrong IMO.

So I totally agree with this pic.

It will fizzle the same way the Simpsons did. And likely endure just as long. But these are the last repositories of classic animation out there sadly. At least until Looney Tunes makes a comeback.

I watch the show mainly for laughs. I'm sorry if that seems shallow.

American Dad is a better show anyway. How do you feel about that one?

I love Peter's quote here, that really made me laugh and that is something he would totally say. :laughing:

Has it been that long? 10 years. I did a little journal about the decline. It's somewhere in my journals.
