I don't know if it is a sign of age or what. I finally saw something so offensive from family guy that I wont watch the show any more. For those who want to know, it was the Mexican Superfriends skit. It is so racist that I am mildly embarrassed I even watched it and I have seen Birth of a Nation. It was not funny just offensive.


oh well.

I have found some of their bits funny but when they start running bits that flat out just racist drivel with no actual cleverness then I give up. I think part of seth mcfarlane's humor is seeing if he can offend someone. I could respect that if it was all clever and well written, but it wasn't.

When you try to offend for a laugh and you fail to make the audience laugh then your just offensive.

ah well, I love that show.
As a matter of fact it's on right now.

We shall have to agree to disagree on this one.

Fair enough. I like to listen to Mel Torme sometimes but no one seems to agree with me on that one either.

Yea I think you might be on your own on that one.

Mel rocks. And Funny Guy is racist. I'm with you on this one.

I will admit I looked into Mel Torme due to my love of the show Night Court. He turned out to be really quite good so I kept listening. I am not saying I listen to him everyday but he is in there.
