Family Guy is still a great deal better than The Simpsons.
That said, it's still pretty damn bad lately.
I don't see the appeal of American Dad, though I admit I haven't seen much of it. What I did see was even more political and preachy than FG, which is one of the main criticisms that show recieves.

- As frequently as I trash Seth MacFarlane for using his shows as his own personal soap box, I will still set aside a half-hour every Sunday night for "Family Guy".
- Speaking of which, I cannot, for the life of me, comprehend why people would say that "Family Guy" was better prior to it's cancellation. The animation was piss-poor, the storylines were atrocious, and as annoying of a gimmick "Gay Stewie" is, it has nothing on how brutal "Evil Stewie" was.
- I think "The Simpsons" from 2000-present is miles better than "The Simpsons" 1989-1999.
- For my money, "King of the Hill" was the greatest animated program ever created.
- Speaking of animation, I'll never comprehend the fascination with anime. It's just something I don't get and I won't make the effort to understand.
- And, once more, speaking of animation, outside of a handful of episodes of "Aqua Teen", Adult Swim has never produced anything resembling entertaining programming.
- I've never seen an episode of "Lost", but I can't take the fanaticism behind it. I really think the only reason people watch it so intensely is because even they have no earthly idea of what's going on from minute-to-minute. All I know is that millions of people are going to be super pissed off when it's all revealed to be somebody's dream.
- "The Colbert Report" fell apart after Stephen Colbert pulled a Jon Stewart and started taking himself way too seriously.
- You should be watching "Community" on NBC. It's not even through a full season and it's the funniest show on network television.
- Speaking of NBC, they are hitting four consecutive home runs on Thursday nights with "Community", "Park and Recreation", "The Office" and "30 Rock". And despite the fact that "The Office" has fallen off BIG TIME since the end of season four, it's still one of my favorite shows on TV.
- The last season of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" was absolutely terrible, and it really made me believe the show had run its course. However, this season has been tremendous, probably the best since the second season.
- I love the concept of Travel Channel's "Man vs. Food", but Adam Richman is such a smarmy douche that I can't enjoy the show itself.

My favorite adult centered animated show of all time is The Boondocks...and if the seasons came out faster more people would think the same I think...

Psych won't last long once monk ends. SHUT UP! I think Captain Stodlemyer killed monk's wife on monk. "Was Trudy a great big fat person?"

-I don't get Seinfield at all.
-Everyone on Malcom in the Middle is annoying as hell.
-So is pretty much everyone on Scrubs except the Janitor and Ted.
-South Park has never lost a step and its amazing how consistently funny its been for YEARS.

-The State crew needs more work, especially now that Reno 911 has been canceled. Really? That's a shame.

- I liked Bela, Original Ruby and Jo on Supernatural. In retrospect, I like the character of Bela. I think my gripe isn't with her but how they wrote Sam and Dean - Dean especially - to get a MAJOR case of the stupids around her EVERY SINGLE TIME. I'm all for someone being a challenge for the brothers to have to get around, but Bela went far too long without ever having THEM get one up on HER. LOVED Original Ruby. Hell, I love Katie Cassidy period. Jo is eh. There was potential there for her to be more awesome than she wound up being, at least to me. To me, she wound up coming across as a slightly annoying little sister sidekick type, which is a shame because I like Alona Tal, especially when she was on Veronica Mars. Speaking of... - I hated Logan on Veronica Mars. You, good sir, have made an enemy today.

I never found Seinfeld at all funny. Same for Curb Your Enthusisasm. In fact Larry David just isn't funny.

It's a travesty that Ed,Edd and Eddy ended but all the other junk on CT like Stoked,TDI and all the live action junk gets to keep going but at least they gave the show a damn good sendoff That's actually kind of flawed reasoning considering that EEnE have been around since maybe 1999(I think) while the shows you listed are relatively new. On topic, I don't think all the new stuff on CN is awful. Mostly it's the live action I hate. Yeah but I'm pretty sure EEnE stopped airing new episodes two or three years ago with them just occasionally throwing out a special

David tennant was s*** as The Doctor YOU TAKE THAT BACK! That said, I don't get people's problem with "NuWho". The revived series has had roughly the same good episode-bad episode ratio as the original series did. Also Dollhouse should have never made it to the end of the first season, nevermind been commissioned for a second. I'm glad it's been axed.

The revived series has had roughly the same good episode-bad episode ratio as the original series did. . To be fair, the old Who's serial format was good in that it was flexible. If you had a story not fit for a single one hour but say 90 minutes or 3 hours, you could run with it. Without having to condense the sucker. Hell didn't they even run a whole series once as one giant story? On the other hand, would today's audiences be tolerant to such a scheme? Anyway you're right about the good/bad ratio. I think few would disagree that nuWho episodes like "Blink" and "Girl in the Fireplace" are as good as the best of the old Who like say "City of the Dead." David tennant was s*** as The Doctor This is why I created this thread.

Don't get me wrong NuWho has some cracking stories (The Steven Moffatt ones) but good episodes are so rare. - Human Nature - Blink* - Girl in the Fireplace* - Empty Child* - Silence in the Library* * Moffatt Episodes I would gladly put these in with classics like "Genesis Of The Daleks", "Curse Of Fenric", "Time Warrior" etc But the rest are just awful. Although I'm looking forward to the New Series because Moffatt is in charge and hopefully we can go 1 episode without a mention of ROSE F***ING TYLER!!!!!!

My unpopular opinion: I don't have a single show that I set aside to make sure I watch every single week/time it's on, unless we're counting sports and some news. Other than that, I surf between Comedy Central, MLB Network, and whatever seems interesting at the moment. TV is just mostly boring to me.
I...I...wait, wa-...what?

- I like DS9 more than TOS and TNG.
- I enjoy dumb shounen anime for what it is: mindless entertainment. At the very least, I get way more entertainment out of them than the American alternatives of reality shows and whatever braindead crap they show on CN or Adult Swim these days.
- Though the best show on AS right now, American or otherwise, is The Boondocks.
- I find Seth MacFarlane's soapboxing annoying, and that's as someone who agrees with him more often than not.
- The Critic is the only show that can match The Simpsons (in its prime from the 90's) or Futurama as far as animated sitcoms go.
- I get more news value out of The Daily Show and Colbert Report than any of the cable news networks.

Yeah Who will definately be better off without Russell T. Davis.
I mean dude, thanks for bringing Who back and making it a permanent TV institution again in Britain and arguably strengthening it (with the spin-offs) and actually fanning the cult over in America.
But you're a better producer than you are a storyteller. And it really ugly shows in series 4 when you and others tried to emulate Moffatt.

-people don't make enough jokes about the inherent homoeroticism of sportscasting. Anchorman's the only time it ever got done to my recollection.
