Well... you do have to give Seth some credit... it DOES seem like anything he touches turns to gold...

Then again, I think that's just a sign of the times.

Seth has been saying he's going to make a Family Guy movie since the weekend The Simpsons Movie came out (at least that's when the local news did a story on it). I'll believe it when I see a release date.

And I thought Ted was hilarious, BTW.

I guess I'm really out of touch with what "humor" is these days...never thought that kind of adult humor was funny...

How many times have I said it? Most of these adult cartoons focus less on actual humor, and more on just how far they can push the envelope to see what exactly they can get away with.

True...

And then there's the Simpsons who went through this period of trying to be a Family Guy clone, then tried to do their own thing again but failing in every way imaginable...

Because they've been on too dang long! There comes a point in time where the well runs dry, and you have to accept that there's nothing more you can do with it! Just like Arthur, their well dried up several years ago, and they still got like at least two more seasons in production.

EDIT: Ziffeled

Why do you think I've been saying for the last two years they need to just cancel it? :stick_out_tongue:
