| Watched the first new episode last night. Agreed...Stewie and Brian had some of the best scenes together. They are my favorite duo. |

Yeah, it really is a damnably funny episode.
I watched the new Simpsons & American Dad shows too. The Simpsons was good but not funny, if that makes sense. American Dad was neither in my opinion, but we'll see. I remember feeling a deep sense of "hey! they stole that from ...". The wife becoming a realtor ala Marge Simpson. Something from another show stolen too, blatantly, but I don't know what.
I'm hopin' the show picks up. It'd be great to have two completely different but hilarious shows from the brain of Seth MacFarlane.

Hey! Thanks so much for mentioning American Dad. Was so tired from working this weekend, that I just couldn't stay up for it. Sounds like I didn't miss anything groundbreaking though. |

Was the new simpson's episode the one where Bart got fat?
It was funny when they showed him like he would be in the intro to the show but big and fat.

Yes. I agree it was good, but not laugh out loud funny as much as family guy. |

I saw the episode on its actual release date. The same way I plan to hear Honeycomb, actually.
Anyway, my favorite bits included Stewie reading the Garfield book out loud, the British porn, the G.I. Joe parody, and the beginning gag listing all the cancelled Fox shows. I thought the Passion of the Christ 2 preview was pretty damned similar to Gandhi 2 from UHF, but oh well. I'm glad to find the show hasn't lost it after being off the air for so long.
I thought the two Simpsons episodes last night were somewhat below par for this season, which has been surprisingly good overall. I did enjoy Stephen Hawking's role in the first one, though.
American Dad just doesn't do it for me. Seth MacFarlane should concentrate on Family Guy, now that it's back on the air.

The first one (that they showed after the superbowl) had some pretty funny moments. That whole setup in the mall with the fake purse snatching and then the CIA dad completely taking it seriously and parting crowds on the escalator and somersaulting out a second story window to land in a crouch on the roof of a car. The phone call from God to Bush.
Another gag they riffed on on this new American Dad was the Simpsons where the person in the car is having a mental monologue (Marge) which in reality turns out to be someone in the car with them saying it out loud (Homer - "We'll always be together... together... together")

Meh, I don't really care if people watch/listen to these things early. It's just not something I'll generally do.

American Dad really does seem horrible. Hopefully it won't last. The only bit I laughed at was Donald Trump coming in to try to get paid when the Dad said things about people being fired. Just the fact that American Dad is around and Futurama is gone is highly upsetting.

Yeah, Futurama got the shaft. Really, if it were up to me, I would have saved that over Family Guy. I like Family Guy, though, so I'm glad at least one actually funny animated series is back.

I watched it again today. Very very funny stuff. Family Guy hasn't lost anything, as far as I'm concerned.
Although, last fall I wrote a script for a variety show that I never intended to have performed, titled Passion Of The Christ II: Wrists Of Fury, and it was very similar to the version in Family Guy. I think they owe me royalties. |

I used to say that Mike, but my friend lent me his season 4 of it and I watched just to give it a fair shake, and I bought all four seasons within a couple weeks. It really is a different kind of humour than Family Guy, but quite funny and intelligent too. I would take a season 5 of Futurama over 20 American Dads. I'd probably still pick Family Guy over Futurama, but it's still tough.

Yeah I have probably only watched about 5 episodes. However, if I took 5 random Family Guy, South Park or Simpsons episodes, I would be a lot more impressed so I am not sure I need to give them more of a chance.

it is such a blessing to see new episodes of family guy. watching the DVDs are great but i've seen all those episodes 2 or 3 times each.
The first new episode was hilarious. That Pinocchio bit was so wrong but funny as hell. I love it.

What if I said both shows were produced by Ray Bradbury? Wouldn't that be more wrong?

What if I said the moon was made of green cheese, and Floop loves Wilco?
Anyway, it's quite possible that I laugh more at the average Family Guy episode, so that's a major point in its favor. I think Futurama is just a better-crafted show overall, though.

Well, there are more immediate laughs from Family Guy, anyway. I'm not sure which is funnier overall.
I find myself quoting jokes from Futurama pretty often, but a lot of the time they just end up confusing people.
Really, I don't have a desire to pit Futurama and Family Guy against each other. They're both genuinely funny and clever animated shows that got the shaft from Fox. I'm just glad one of them is back, even if it's my less favorite of the two.

Yeah, Futurama's a little more subtle with it's humour, but it's there and quite hilarious at times, I assure you.

Hey, I'm not arguing against Family Guy, I love the show and was like one of the first to sign that massive internet petition to get it back on the air and to download the shows (of course I have the DVDs now). Just saying you need to watch Futurama again.
Incidentally, just watched The Simpsons where they do the American Idol thing and it was hilarious. As was the new Family Guy. Though wrong for so many reasons.
