I think I'm in a little bit of both catagories actually. I love the father, the dog, and the baby, because the silly aspect of their comedy reminds me of that WHAT A CARTOON short from Cartoon Network with the guy and his dog that I brought up when FG came out. The animation also had a similar look.
But anyway, I'll watch it if I catch it, but I'm not what you'd call a fan. To me it has that kind of humor in it that the lesser/recent episodes of the Simpsons had.

I like Stewie the most. FG does have similar humor to the Simpsons, I still find it more entertaining than the newsest Simpsons though.

Stewie and the Dog are my favorites. The Dad keeps me amused as well, but not to the same degree.
My favorite episode was the one with Death in it. You know, where Stewie finally killed his mother, and because death was incapacitated, she didn't die.
This is very similar to the suggestion put forward by the Quirmian philosopher Ventre, who said, "Possibly the gods exist, and possibly they do not. So why not believe in them in any case? If it's all true you'll go to a lovely place when you die, and if it isn't then you've lost nothing, right?" When he died he woke up in a circle of gods holding nasty-looking sticks and one of them said, "We're going to show you what we think of Mr Clever Dick in these parts..."

The Canadian Channel Global showed the episode that will air on FOX this past Saturday at 2:30am in the morning, and it wasn't that bad. It was standard FG fare, but I chuckled through it.

Yep my face got stuck this way
Wait where's Hatter I want to see him react in disghust.

That's because Seth Mcfarlane created them both. I think he used that short as a test run for FG.
Anyway, I've only seen one episode and it seems to appeal to that low brow humor that some seem to like.
Whyyyyy'sis heead so biiiiiig?
Noooooo comment.
Though I have to say I did get a kick out of Seth McFarlane's What a Cartoon short. I personally think his style of humor would be better suited to an adult-skewing show on Cartoon Network. Instead, we get the rampant plagarism of Family Guy... sigh.
Oh wait, I said "no comment," didn't I? Erm.... never mind.

While I count myself as a Family Guy fan, I will have to kind of agree here. I do wish Seth McFarlane could do work for Comedy Central or CN's new Adult Swim, or maybe even HBO. Family Guy is funny, but I'd like to see him break out of that mold and try different ground.Originally posted by The Mad Hatter

Norm MacDonald as Death was a very funny episode, one of my top 5 personal favorite, to be sure.Originally posted by Flying Grayson

Are you serious?! What's wrong with Global? FIrst they start airing Batman BEyond in strange time slots and now FG. BTW, they were supposed to air the new episode as a simulcast with FOX.Originally posted by DickGrayson

Yeah. I couldn't remeber his name. But Another of my favorites was the one when the dog got drunk and him and Stewie had to hick-hike home.Originally posted by calhoun07

According to a GLobal commercial that aired last night, it still will air in it's normal timeslot. Then again, Global has been showing FUTURAMA from 11:30 - 47pm on Saturdays before starting SNL (Why -- no clue). I think Global was just filling space, but as far as I know, FG is still gonna be on Global/Fox at it's regular slot tomorrow.

Yeah I saw Futurama a coyple of times before SNL. But if they're going to show FG in its entirty, why don't they just put it in their schedule? That's what bothered me the most.

Just though i'd bump this thread up, instead of making a new one. So now that 2 new episodes have aired, what does evewryone think? I though the first one was just ok (the bit with letterman was hilarious) and that the second one was much better.

The Manhunter from Mars
If you mean the eps from the past two weeks, then i enjoyed them my fav jokes (from #1): when Peter tryed to cover up his name, but ended up giving the lady his own, and from #2: when Stewie was in the audition for Kids Say and was making fun of the whole thing.

Yeah. That Stewie bit was funny. He's my favourite character.

I watched them, but was unable to tape them (Long story) but thankfully my mom taped them for me, so I can still have them on tape. (She likes the show too!)
I thought the episodes were good. I may have said it before, but I can't recall if I did....I still can't believe they let that one line thru where Brian said he had licked his share of peanut butter. If you get the joke, you know what I am talking about. If you don't get it, I am not explaining it on a PG board!
Quis custodiet ipsos custodiet
Well here is a question that was even brought up on the show. Can they understand Stewie? I mean the mom ignores him when he threatens her life, and his constant cursing(how often will a toddler say damn). But anyway, does anyone actually acknowledge him speaking. I mean he's quite verbal for some one his age.
This is very similar to the suggestion put forward by the Quirmian philosopher Ventre, who said, "Possibly the gods exist, and possibly they do not. So why not believe in them in any case?

Yeah, that's one thing me and my mom have debated. I thought early on in the series that they can't hear him at all, and she felt they could. And there are times that they do reply to him, so it makes me wonder. Sometimes when they reply to Stewie, it's pretty obvious they are replying to what he said exactly. Either it's to keep us guessing or it's lazy writing or supposed to be a joke of some sort.
The Manhunter from Mars
I think that people can understand him, but are too clueless to take him seriously. For example, Lois thinks that everything Stewie says is just baby drivel, even though she understands the words he says. Does that make sense?
