Family Guy's influence...

It's amazing that a show that's been on for such a short while is already influential. Take a look at Titus' flashback sequences, for instance... Smacks of Family Guy. Interesting too that on a cross country road trip I just took, almost every radio station was playing snippets of the show.

Well, when a well established show like Titus copies your style, you *know* you've made it.

Unless of course you yourself copied your style from shows than had gone before, in which case you're *all* posers.

Titus was just one example, you idiot... The Simpsons has done a pretty good job of becoming more Family Guy-esque recently as well. Don't even try to deny it.

Oh, get off the bestiality and necrophilia tip already. I didn't see anyone having sex with an animal, and the necrophilia joke involved the Grim Reaper. It's called satire? Why am I even defending these jokes? They were brilliant like everything else on the show.

No, just a dog hitting on a person.

And sex with a corpse.

Anyone who says *everything* on any show is brilliant lacks objectivity.

Your opinions mean little, fan boy. Perhaps even less than mine.

In article ,

is already

instance... Smacks

True, but not nearly as funny as FG of course.

Interesting too that on a cross country road trip I just took,

That's funny. Our local rock station has just started sampling a few bits from the show - it's a nice refresher from the Simpsons quotes they've been using for months now.

Kind of cool that it's catching on in that way.

Oh, and don't argue with Dave....it's like feeding licorice to an emu.

I don't know how exactly, but I'm sure it is.

Anyway, he lives for it.
