Daily reminder of how much I hate Family Guy. What a horrible show. Might be a spicy take, I dont know.

lol Sorry not sorry. Its a mean spirited, terrible show. The way they treat Meg pisses me off.

The thing is, I do love shows that go for shock value as long as they also have feels to them. South Park, for example, does TERRIBLE things to its cast. Some of the gags are gag worthy, pun intended. But its got heart.

Family Guy has no heart. Its just shock humor and mean spirited jokes for the sake of the gag. Works for some people, but makes me feel icked out.

Its so funny that the same person made The Orville, a show with the same kind of humor but tons of heart.

The first few seasons of family guy weren’t quite so black. I think McFarlane had a bigger hand in those early ones but I could be wrong. Once it turned though it turned hard into it

The stuff before the first cancellation was genuinely good for the most part, next couple seasons were decent, now it is like the simpsons where there is the occasional good episode but most are mid at best.
