What, we're only the *second* most offensive show?!?

In case you haven't heard, that self-appointed guardian of public decency known as the "Parent's Television Council" (headed by "Friend of Newt" L. Brent Bozell III) came out with their list of "The Top 10 Most Offensive Shows on Network Television"; our Family Guy was rated #2...

"2. Family Guy (Fox/not ranked last season) Fox's Family Guy was unbelievably foul. This low-rated, raunchy, animated series centered on a couple, their two teenagers, and their precociously evil infant son. In its first full year, the show's creators managed to include nearly every conceivable obscenity, and references to every imaginable sexual perversion from incest to necrophilia. Series staples included nudity and references to pornography and masturbation. One episode this spring featured Peter Griffin giving his adolescent son his entire stockpile of pornographic magazines. The fact that Family Guy aired during the family hour makes it that much worse. Institutions such as the church and family were held up to ridicule on a near-weekly basis. Fortunately, The Family Guy was not picked up for next season (sic)."

You can read the full list here:

(For some reason, two of my other favorite network shows "Norm" and "Drew Carey" also made this list; guess I'm just plain evil...)

I wish I could see the look on the PTS's face when they learn that the show got renewed! It seems the slef-appointed guardians of family values have had it in for Peter and the gang from the start. If anyone hasn't already read it, here's another look at the Family Guy: http://www.family.org/pplace/pi/tv/a0007754.html Heh heh heh.

It's good to see that Philip Morris got on the bandwagon against this "offensive" show. Lord knows *they* look out for children.

Oh man! That's great! That just means it's the second best show on tv! Did anyone check out their "favorable shows"? 7th heaven, Touched by an angel??? My God! What would they have us watch? I think "Seth-whats-his-name" would take this as a compliment considering the source!

Spectre

I think Norm's great too. It's too bad FG is up against it on Wednesdays now but they're both in reruns. The Norm Macdonald newsgroup came up at the same time as this one on my server. I subscribed to both but there was only one post on his newsgroup and it was an add. After a month or so I deleted the group.

He don't get no respect. cus he's a dirty dirty whore...

That's because their all paraplegics, which means their also half wits. I must have missed the episodes on masturbation.
