yeah, i'm not a big fan of mcfarlane. i rarely watch family guy and other than the part of the cleveland show, i don't watch that.
it's not that i don't chuckle at some of the jokes. but as El Payaso said, it's random, stupid humor. if you ever watched the south park episode "animation wars" (or something like that), it nailed it right on the head. there seems to be no rhyme or reason for it, and alot the humor is meant to be in bad taste, but it's really just bad.
i think less than half an episode is actually plot...most of it is just random flashbacks that have nothing to do with anything and could fit into ANY episode and nobody would know the difference.
