silvermike Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 I don't know, I thought it had potential, but they really came out flat. The alien and the goldfish are pretty un-funny, and there was very little of the title character. After a good Simpsons, it just seemed flat. Maybe put that one back in a little longer.
sweet baboo Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 i didn't like it that much either...had its moments, but overall, not that great that said, it's still better than all that reality tv bullstevestojan that won't die...it may be a poor man's family guy, but I'd take this over 99.9% of current TV programming, so 'Godspeed, American Dad!' however, either the family guy or american dad is going to tank since they are basically the same show. i sure hope it's american dad
Fezmid Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 I actually thought it was great. There were several times in the first 15 minutes that I had to pause it because my wife and I were laughing so hard. The second half wasn't quite as good, but I thought the first half was great. I was also very disappointed with the Simpsons episode. Nowhere near as good as I thought it was going to be. CW
BillsGuyInMalta Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 I liked the alien character, but the rest of the show kinda felt flat to me. Maybe its because it was a pilot episode and McFarlane had to keep it somewhat tame so the network execs wouldnt pull his show again, so I'm willing to give it another chance. I cant wait until May 1st...New episodes of Family Guy baby, one of the funniest shows ever created gets another chance. Also, for you lovers of the Family Guy/Simpsons/Aqua Teen Hunger Force style of comedy, check out "The Venture Brothers" on Adult Swim. That show is hilarious.
EZC-Boston Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 Couldn't see it here cause I had to watch Pats Super Bowl Celebration for an hour, I tivo'd it and I'll check it out tonight...
ch19079 Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 i am a huge family guy fan. that said, american dad just wasnt funny. the fish looking down the dress was funny, but other than that i felt like i was watching rugrats. you could tell where the jokes were supposed to be, but they wernt that funny. the alien?? he wasnt funny. the fish was funny, but hes just "stewie" as a fish insted of a baby. it wont last long. i was looking forward to it... also: the simpsons episode was NOT funny. they tried to force jokes. that show had definatly gone down hill the last few seasons.
BillsGuyInMalta Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 also: the simpsons episode was NOT funny. they tried to force jokes. that show had definatly gone down hill the last few seasons. 230719[/snapback] The Simpsons has been in a decline since season 10 (so basically the last 7 seasons have sucked). They really need to hang it up and stop clinging onto the show because its getting very crappy. All The Simpsons do is drag a celebrity out and organize a show around that celeb...they cant write their own original ideas anymore.

The alien wasn't that funny. The fish was hilarious -- and the scene with the german skier (with the transplanted brain) was great. The dad stealing the purse was extremely funny as well (especially the shot of him in the car afterwards). "Look, it's a pencil with the eraser shoved up Osama's pooper!!!" And shooting up the toaster? Hilarious. Overall, I still thought the show was very good. CW
/dev/null Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 the alien had a line or 2, but i wasn't impressed with the show. ended up turning it off
buckeyemike Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 I like Family Guy, but American Dad sucked. Other than a couple of scenes, like the phone call where the Dad swallows all the pills and then yells for the antidote, it just wasn't funny. The Simpsons, which I thought would be really good, was disappointing. At least LeBron got off a couple of good lines. Tom Brady playing against type was good ("Everyone sucks but me!"), but everything else was disjointed. My grades: The Simpsons -- C- American Dad -- D+ Mike
Nyghtewynd Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 Horrible. Miserable. Not funny, not creative, nothing. If this is an omen for what the new Family Guy episodes are going to be like, they're going to stink.
Dr. Fong Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 I thought it tried way too hard. The jokes were forced and I agree with whoever said that the Alien and the goldfish were just too intentionally weird. Overall I give it a C+
