If nothing else works, a total pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see us through.

I've never found American Dad to be that funny; Roger has some amusing lines, but other than that it falls into middle of the road american sitcom trap. It's like a cartoon update of Alf...

Family Guy is consistently funny; the unedited DVD versions are much better than the episodes shown on TV. I find it has a much greater hit rate than the Simpsons - I can only think of one or two below par episodes in Family Guy, whereas there are entire seasons of the Simpsons that aren't amusing. And I can only think of one or two amusing bits in American Dad.

Come most of Family guy is awful to watch. Extended random jokes that arent funny. I'd say 85% of FG episodes are garbage.

You, sir, and I are going to have fisticuffs...

I hadn't encountered anyone who didn't like family guy before. It's the randomness and in-jokes that appeal to me.

My colours are clearly nailed to the mast anyhow - my avatar is the angry monkey who lives in Chris's closet in Family Guy.

I hated it to start with, probably because I watched it on TV first. I then got the first 3 seasons and absolutly loved them. Season 4 is complete Trash, but S 5 pcks it up again but it still feels like it's getting a bit rushed. American Dad cracks me up just as much though
HAIL TO THE KING BABY!
