But I'll put in my official vote anyway.  |  IP: Logged Peter David Bruce Expert Film Handler Posts: 187 From: East Anglia -England Registered: Aug 2007 posted 01-19-2008 05:39 AM                    top prog  |  IP: Logged Paul Burt Film Handler Posts: 46 From: San Francisco, CA, United States Registered: Apr 2006 posted 01-19-2008 11:27 AM                     Funniest and most outrageous show on TV.  |  IP: Logged Scott D. Neff Theatre Dork Posts: 919 From: San Francisco, CA Registered: Oct 1999 posted 01-19-2008 11:46 AM                        I enjoy it. Formulaic and predictable, but I enjoy it. Except the singing... often the singing drags me down.  |  IP: Logged Shane Cooper Expert Film Handler Posts: 232 From: Little Rock, Arkansas Registered: Jun 2004 posted 01-19-2008 02:43 PM                     Dumb, immature, and sophomoric. However, I need some of that in my life and Family Guy provides the funny. My vote is here.  |  IP: Logged Robert John Jeromson Master Film Handler Posts: 264 From: Auckland, New Zealand Registered: Jul 2004 posted 01-19-2008 04:59 PM                     Add mine too  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 01-19-2008 05:41 PM                        It's rude and subversive. I love it. Even the singing.  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 01-20-2008 12:08 PM                        I just can't figure out how they get away with such direct attacks on known figures, usually in the entertainment business -- in a talk about being a good mother, Peter says something like, "yah a good mother like Britney Spears," then cut to a picture of BS holding an infant and putting out a cigarette on the infant's head where there already exists a big indentation. I mean, how can they get away with stuff like that? I don't really care because it's really hits my funnybone. Anyway, yah, I vote YES here cause its a show that when I do get to watch it, I have to make it a point not to be drinking any liquids because unexpectedly it can make me laugh so hard that whatever I am drinking will be shooting out my nose. Not many comedies on TV can do that, and it does it without a freakin laugh track. (I will not watch ANY comedy that has a laugh track....it's insulting to everyone's intelligence -- either it's funny or it isn't; I don't need to be "told" what I am supposed to laugh at. And the idiocy of it is, you hear this raucous laughter and you look at everyone watching with you and 9 times out of 10 they are not even braking a smile.) Oh yah, btw, I was house sound engineer on an HBO special a number of years ago for a comedy starring Robert Klien and Stockard Channing; there was an audience at the tapings. We taped three runs of it. There were quite a few jokes that in all of the three runs, they never got a even a mild laugh, but when it played on HBO, there was hysterical laughter on the soundtrack. So when they say, "filmed before a live audience, (as opposed to a dead one) it means, there was an audience, yah, but for all anyone knows, they could all be sitting there with frowns on their faces, but nonetheless, the guffaws will come wild and furious from your TV and it's just as canned as before they had studio audiences. It's deceptive, it's a lie, it's phoney and it says something about our shallow culture that the majority of viewers are perfectly ok with being led around by the nose....sheeple. Er....so, um, yeah...I vote YES.  |  IP: Logged
