Have you heard?

I hold the distinction for being the only person in America who does not think that Family Guy is funny.

Until I saw this?

I felt the same way.
Don't ask me why.

I've seen that one too. I tried to give the show a chance, because a lot of people, my wife included, love it. For me, I think it comes down to the same thing I say about Curb Your Enthusiasm, which is that it just seems that the writers are trying too hard to be funny, and getting the opposite result. Of course, the styles of humor are very different in those two shows, but I think the approach is the same.

I only like all the chicken fight stuff.

Other then that?
I don't watch it.
If I do watch? It's something on YouTube that grabbed my attention.
My attention span is..............
Then the freaking Money threw up!

You're both wrong. There are more of us than you imagined. On the other hand, I also dislike South Park. A lot.

And the numbers continue to grow as more of us emerge from the shadows...

That show is definitely miss or hit with more missing than hitting.

Sometimes the waiting through the misses is just not worth the occasional hit, in my opinion.

Yea, kind of like all the reality crap that is thrown at us.
Like Danceing with the Stars, American Idol, Survivor, add more crap here!
Face it.
TV has devolved to a level that matches most of the populations IQ
When the population demands stuff like this?
What does it REALLY say about things?

To paraphrase George Carlin

Imagine, for a moment, the average American. Think about how dumb he or she is. Now consider that almost half of Americans are not as smart as that.
