No, they need the assistance of everybody else in the show to make them truly great.

Yeah, Family Guy is up there too. Too bad it was cancelled (they made a season 2, then they cancelled I think). Maybe CN will pick up Family Guy like they are Futurama, if its popular enough. So that means everybody watch. Go on, watch I say!

Heh, Black to the Future. That was...hilarious.

Er...I mean buy new episodes (sorry for being so unclear). I watch both Family Guy and Futurama religiously every night.

Damn, I missed that one...

Still, I love Family Guy's little side gags. They're hilarious!

And I love the one where he becomes his own country, after he invades his neighbor, and Brian tells him some people want him to give it back, and Peter asks, "Them and what army?" and Brian responds, "The US Army." and flips back the curtains to show all sorts of heavy equipment.

Peter: "That's a pretty good Army..."

ALL HAIL PETEORIA!

"God, the Devil, and Bob" which was a really funny series, but it was too offensive for the Christian Right and not offensive enough for those that wanted something really irreverant.

Well, I do remember she likes sex.

Wasn't she gonna get laid by the green alien XO guy in one episode?
Yeah they dated for a few episodes

Dated, I thought they got married at one point, at the very least they had children, at least Kif did.

Awww shit, I remember God, the Devil, and Bob! That show kicked ass! They made like ten episodes though, and it got cancelled. Too much polictically-correct shit with the Christian audience and crap. That's why we have such shitty TV now. All the edgy stuff is killed right off the drawing board by execs that "don't want to offend people."

TV's a goin' down the crapper folks. *sobs*

They play off of other characters too much. Especially Stewie trying to kill Lois and Brian playing off of Peter's stupidity.

Stewie definatly is the funniest character on the show in my opinion, Peter a very close second, since he has most of the politically incorrect humor.

But let us not forget about King of the Hill here.

I heard Futurama was cancelled because it was too 'violent'. I guess when you have a evil robotic Santa that says " I'm gonna shove coal so far up your ass, you'll be coughing up diamonds", it's bound to offend somebody.

Well, that and the whole "kill all humans" bit.

Really? What was it about?

It's been a while, but I seem to remember it being about God getting pissed about humanity and how rotten it was (God, who looks and acts sort of like Jerry Garcia). So God and the Devil made a bargain; one man would be responsible for humanities salvation. The catch was that the Devil gets to pick the man. The show is about the Devil and his antics to try and damn Bob, who's an ill-tempered wisecracking boozer and God trying to save him.

It was actually quite funny, like the episode where the Devils birthday rolled around and he had a midlife crisis. This lead him to higher Martha Stewart to redecorate Hell, which ended with her taking over and usurping his rule over evil. It had a really great cast too, with French Steward as Bob and Alan Cummings as the Devil.
