Initially, I could not get past the terrible animation in "Family Guy"--much like "South Park", it's lack of aesthetic would burn my retinas after viewing more than 3 seconds of it. After they brought the show back from cancellation, I did give it a shot, and found it mildly amusing. The thing that bothers me the most is its continual coddling of the "lowest common denominator" demographic. Too much toilet humor is juvenile and shows a lack of a dynamic writing staff. I have since given up on this show. Although far more offensive, I must say that "South Park" is written at a higher level. SP manages to offend everybody at least some of the time, and I find myself changing the channel at least every other episode. Granted, that's exaclty the reaction on which Parker and Stone based the premise of the show. Just one guy's opinion.
