King of the Hill sucks.

casein point from this week’s episode, someone makes a sarcastic reference to how well Lincoln got along with his neighbor, and it cuts to a scene of Lincoln walking outside to pick up his newspaper. He looks over at his neighbor’s unmowed grass and says to him, “Dale, your lawn is looking a little long”.

Dale responds, “Ummm, yeah, I used to have a guy for that….dick.”

family guy is allsome.

way better than KOTH.

have no appreciation for comedy.

It does call Adam’s judgment into question. Both of those shows suck, but one he loves and the other he mocks.

The question is how much? He had a bad year last year and the Padres offered $4M before pulling it. If he’s willing to accept a one year deal it might be useful for the Rangers to explore depending on what he thinks he’s worth.

JD’s talked about upgrading the bullpen consistently.

Smokescreen? Maybe.

Ugh.

He’s a one trick pony whose one trick is getting old. Aside from the fact that I have never understood how a pitcher can only have a changeup and nothing else to speak of, he’s just not who he used to be even a few years ago. I watch him here in SD, and he’s just too old. Hell’s Bells is cool and all, but its time has come and gone.

Maybe he could have one good year in the AL – I could see how he may dominate guys who are facing him for the first time. But he could also be horrendous.

I pass.

1st 10 seasons of Simpsons >>>> Futurama >>>> any other Simpsons > Family Guy >>>>> dying>>>>American Dad

I advocate this idea strongly.

In fact here’s some expansion on it: do a frontpage poll, The Simpsons vs. Family Guy vs. American Dad vs. King of the Hill and entitle it “FOX animation domination throwdown”. Please AJM? Please? Cause the current “who is the hottest female character on the simpsons” poll is just taking up space at this point.

Remember the time I (verb) a (noun) with (B-list Celebrity)

Family Guy = Mad Lib

owns them both.

how can you think it’s not funny?

as to why people hate it

they exchanges are really the strongest part of the show. Stewie’s interrogation of the progress of Brian’s novel is pretty genius. That said, I will always favor the Simpson’s between the two because it was so groundbreaking at the time, and it maintained its peak for a much longer period. I am also a huge fan of satire, so ultimately I rank Southpark first, Simpson’s second, and Family Guy third, although I have watched many, many episodes of all three.

(as long as we are making requests)

But South Park is far and away #1 IMO

there isn’t any cartoon better than South Park.

Honestly, who doesn’t love squigglevision?

If you’re going to include The Critic, then Home Movies probably belongs on there as well (although lower than The Critic).

You can go ahead and put Duckman slightly ahead of American Dad…

good show.

stop interrupting our Family Guy/Simpsons talk.

you are indeed a freak.

But for the life of me I can’t understand why everybody loves Arrested Development. It’s just terribly unfunny to me.

what did it lead to?

So, NBC was running this brilliant sitcom in the Fall of 2000 about Los Angeles-based Vic Nardozza, a slightly awkward private investigator working for McKay Investigative Services. Every Tuesday, I was by my television watching Nardozza solve a new case. And although I’m sure most of you are aware of the show, for the amnesiacs amongst you, it was The Michael Richards Show. Yes, the situational comedy with that delightful laugh track that served as a launch pad for future stars such as Amy Farrington and Claudia Rose.

Well in November of that year, NBC stops showing The Michael Richards Show, and initially I’m worried. But I figure that since the show had been “retooled” prior to premiering, I could only imagine the effort exerted by the show’s writers, directors, producers, actors, etc. to create something so great. I figure that retooling is similar to how a production company will add deleted and bonus additional scenes when they release a movie on DVD ("Yeah, had we included those scenes in the theatrical version the film could have won an Oscar, been declared by critics as one of the best movies of the decade, and been studied in film schools across the world, but we just wanted to give something special to the DVD purchaser).

So, Fall of 2001 starts, and on the first Tuesday of the new season BAM!!! Emeril Lagasse’s got a show on NBC and Michael Richards doesn’t!!! What the Hell??!!! I mean, who on earth wants to watch Emeril, a disaster about a television chef’s interactions with his producers and stage manager? The cast was dreadful. Dear Lord, does anybody have a clue who Tara Karsian is?

In short, I wish the people of NBC and all of the dreadful, self-loathing viewers of Emeril a long and agonizingly painful dealth followed by an eternity in hell.

I was really just jaw-dropped that a non-entity like Cleveland could get his own show. Lamest spinoff since Joni Loves Chachi.

simply because I was so surprised that they were doing that. Its got to be better than American Dad at least.
