Does anyone know why there is a rivalry between these two? I recently got the dvd's of the Clerks cartoon and they had some unkind things to say about him and Family Guy. Personally, I enjoyed both shows and think they both got raw deals. Since I like them both, I'm curious to know why they don't get along.

They've never met. Kevin has an insane superiority complex that he tries to cover up with self-deprication humor.

Clerks sucks bigtime. I used to take sleeping tablets, but save myself a lot of money now by downloading Clerks episodes. I fall asleep each time.

Clerks was funny stuff. I'd love to see more than just the 6 episodes that are out there. But that will never be...

Glad to hear someone else say that. I couldn't stand it. It was way too insane, and not in a good way. It just seemed rather hackneyed and less than what it could have been. My opinion, of course.

Smith has unkind things to say about lots of people. Some serious issues going on with him.

Kevin Smith and "Clerks" co-writer Dave Mandel hate Seth MacFarlane and "Family Guy" because MacFarlane is a no-talent hack and "Family Guy" is the worst show in the history of television. That's about the extent of it. "That's the worst reverse-acting I've ever seen!" -Sam Raimi

Ah, still here are we? Be sure to let us all know when you find a life; although since FG has been cancelled and you're still ranting about it, I'm not holding my breath on that one...

Wow. Sounds like Smith's minions have some issues, also. How many "Clerks" episodes were there...6?...yeah. Back to your parents' basement, loser. J

Back to your parents' basement, loser.

Speaking of parents' basements, you guys might want to try leaving yours for a while so you can help Seth MacFarlane move into his parents' basement. He's probably going to need the help, as his car was probably repossessed. "That's the worst reverse-acting I've ever seen!" -Sam Raimi

Wow, this is amazing. Am I the only one that likes both Smith and MacFarlane? It seems to be treated as you can only like one or the other in here.

Nope. I like them both too. "RDM1976" wrote in message news:[email]... Wow, this is amazing. Am I the only one that likes both Smith and MacFarlane? It seems to be treated as you can only like one or the other in here.

MacFarlane?

I like "Clerks thru Chasing Amy Smith", am indifferent to "Dogma Smiith" and hate "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back Smith" . .. :)

MacFarlane?

It is just that "internet hate" acting up again. I found myself working way to hard all through January and had barely enough time to check me email, let alone surf the web. Next thing I knew, I liked about ten times as much things as I did before. It is the nature of the beast to post about negative feelings as they provoke a stronger, more active, reaction. Things you like just kinda calm you down.

Yeah I like them both!

JeffCRDM1976

I actually like them both, also. It just seems that Smith's work is funny when only I'm drunk, and MacFarlane's is funny only when I'm sober. It's the difference between a limerick and a fart..... Guess which is which, basement-boy. J

Just like you're probably a real social winner, what with your internet petitions and obsessive hate campaigns. But since you're a Kevin Smith acolyte, shouldn't you know better than to post stereotypical snotty fanboy rantings on the internet?

Maybe, but "Family Guy" is always an exception, as it's a crime against comedy and more importantly, a crime against humanity. "That's the worst reverse-acting I've ever seen!" -Sam Raimi

I'm curious. Please give an example of a TV comedy that you find to be very good.
