I've been into Family Guy for years. It's a shame that no terrestrial channels show it. The wit and humour is much better than the Simpsons, which grew tired years ago.

Speaking of which, what happened to the Simpsons? No channel seems to be showing it now. As for Futurama, there was an episode on bank holiday monday and that was it.

sky one shows it all the time.

as for bbc 2 the olypmics played their part disrupting the schedule.

i agree tho, gone are the times of getting excited that the simpsons is on, ive seen them all so much i just cant watch it anymore.

shame, but it will always have a special place in my heart! ;-)

Channel 4 have now got the rights for The Simpsons (after Sky have shown it of course), and are due to show it in the old Friends slot of 9pm on Friday nights. Don't know which series they'll be showing though.

Futurama's been cancelled in the States sadly.

You misunderstand, they ARE making a film. check out the link. And yes I do think it'd work it would be like one long episode. South Park the movie worked.

Family Guy is one of those series that gets cancelled after each season pretty much. When this happens the fans (American) go mad and it gets a reprieve. Kind of like sliders did but without the fans :D

Must say Family Guy is by far better than the Simpsons and even futurama, even though I love futurama!

I hear the movie is due for release around september time!

Some quotes:

Mr.Weed: Peter! Are you sleeping on the job?
Peter: Uh uh...no! There's uh..a..bug in my eye and I'm trying to suffocate him.

Peter: Oh my god, Brian, there's a message in my Alphabits. It says, 'Oooooo.'
Brian: Peter, those are Cheerios.

Peter: Excuse me, is your refrigerator running?
Because if it is, it probably runs like you - very homosexually.

Peter: (Grabs the microphone at a fast food restaurant) Attention restaurant customers: Testicles. That is all.

Family Guy doesn't get cancelled every season...it was cancelled once, after season 3. It wasn't recommissioned becasue the fans went mad...it was recomissioned because it became the best selling DVD when it was released, thus proving to the sponsors that it had na audience.

The movie rocks! I have not laughed so much in a long time. Also the new season is shaping up good, with the same skewed humour we have come to love (one genius segment had a spin on Aha's Take on Me video!)

Keep a look out also for American Dad, from the makers of Family Guy. Whilst not as good, it still holds some great moments to enjoy.

I really laughed at the bit where the dad (forget his name) says "My alphabet soup has a message in it - its says OOOOO", to which one one of the kids replies "Dad they're cheerios".

Genius!!!

There is always one person who will try and tell you, you are wrong no matter what you say isn't there!!!

Family Guy wasn't going to go past season 2. I'll give it to you that DVD sales had something to do with why they (FOX) gave it a reprieve, but it was also to do with all the online petitions and the calls to boycott the network unless they brought it back!

Ive just discovered Family Guy, my housemates got the first two series on DVD. It is quality, the humor is more adult than simpsons and alot sicker - probably why I like it. My favourite character is Stewie - Pure Evil :suspect: I liked the one where he was describing his time as a sperm and it was like the battle for the death star in Star Wars, while he was trying to get to the egg :D

I hate Family Guy sorry to say to you all - but there is one episode my colleague at work keeps raving about.

Something about cringer from Masters Of The Universe showing up and someone riding off on him??

Or has my mate been smoking wacky bacci again??
Is this true- and does anyone know the episode name?

Cheers
