Because it's not funny. And MacFarlane is a great voice actor if he only does one voice. But terrible when he does more than one in an episode... and when he does a minimum of three voices in every ****ing episode (plus a million more) that all sound exactly alike, it's awful. He's not funny. The show's not funny. Having Seth Green and Ms. Swan aren't enough to make up for the atrocity that is the one-voice-non-wonder. It doesn't help that the show's admittedly overrated by most fans. And each episode follows the same formula. Beat. Old TV show reference. Beat. Shut up, Meg. Beat. Another film/show reference. Beat. Stewie's hating momsy/loving Brian/being homosexual. Beat. Peter's going on some dumb life lesson mission. Beat. Another reference. Let's parallel Peter's stupidity with Brian's "intelligence". Beat. Reference. Beat. Oh ****, we underused the funniest talent we had... so, here's Chris saying something stupid. Beat. Reference. Beat. Pseudo-happy family moral ending. And then MacFarlane uses the same formula for his other shows. Non-human buddies, adult babies, dumb kids and stupid fathers are SO FUNNY AND ORIGINAL.

Good points. I still liked the earlier seasons and what you described was the formula of the later seasons, thought some of it existed throughout the show.


Btw, it's my birthday. :woot:
 
Happy birthday, get off the fracking internet and go do something visceral!

Happy B-Day Parker Wayne!!:yay
 
Hiya Logan's Lady!!! I'm doing good, how about yourself??
 
I'm alright.
Heard from my best friend and got an update on Saturday about the family in the hospital. And everyone is doing okay.

Had a good day yesterday. Got to go to Kings Dominion (a theme park: www.kingsdominion.com). And, I saw Green Lantern yesterday also! :)
 
Happy Birthday ParkerWayne!

LL, what'd you think of GL?

That's great to hear that everyone is alright. Did you enjoy Green Lantern??
 
Hey Harls!

Well firstly, I LOVE origin stories. So to begin with, I really enjoyed the story. It was very slow at parts (while they were showing who the characters were) but over all I enjoyed it. For a comic book movie there wasn't much action in it. I don't know if it would be worth the money to go to a 3D showing. We just went to 2D.

But, I never have read a Green Lantern comic in my life, so I don't know how true to the comics the story is.

I'd say maybe 3 stars.
 
I'm just out to the Library, if i can get off my arse, i'd love to say its for books or something intellectual but i just want to use their printer. How are you Duke?

I'm doing jolly good. How's stuff on the other side of the pond??
 
Cold. Windy though it was really hot before, yet somehow my dog is still sweating.

She stinks.

Well, if there is a sequel, I do think it'll be a lot better.
 
I liked GL quite a bit & I think it deserves a sequel. I'm optimistic that it'll make good money at the box office & with dvd/blu-ray sales.
 
Bah, if Ghost Rider can somehow get a sequel then anything is possible.
 
Pesonally, I liked GL better than Ghost Rider. :o
