Quite, and it's written for parents and grandparents. They relate to the content more than we do.

Must be since it's still going on and no-one else could possibly like it.

Honestly, does anyone find this show even remotely funny?

It's the Family Circus of animated shows. You know how when you're reading the funny pages in the Sunday paper, and you're having a good time, until you come upon the Family Fucking Circus. They ruin the whole experience.


That's how I feel about King of the Hill. It's plopped right between the Simpsons and Family Guy, and it pretty much ruins the Sunday night animation block.


Do we really need any more episodes of this show that was tired when Beavis and Butthead were still on the air?

That couldn't fit for the conversation better than I could have put it.

Again. If you pay attention to anything but your insipid world, you'd realize people have varying tastes in comedy and different people find either of them amusing.

Jesus Christ Pasidon, you're the densest motherfucker I've ever met.

I enjoy don't mind Family Circus, mostly because it gives Pearls Before Swine some extra laughs when the characters are hijacked into that strip ;) But really, though I never read it, I can see a lot of elder people doing so because of the same reasons Beowulf already mentioned.


King of the Hill...I've never watched, and like Ash said, the little 30 second previews between other shows haven't made me feel like I'm missing much.

Family Circus, once in a great while is amusing, but never funny.... it's like Cathy. Fucking Cathy.
Being a total douche.

I don't think I've ever had anyone compare it quite like that before. There's only one problem. Once and a great while, Family Circus is somewhat slightly amusing... Cathy is not. Ever. Why do they still print that shit?

Actually, i haven't seen segway being dense. Strange and silly at times, but not slow... unless you can point out an occasion?



Anyway. Insanity Streak, i get the Sunday mail and open to the comics section for that one alone :sad:

Clearly you need to research what "Pot calling the kettle black" actually means. It's kind of proven Matias' earlier sentiments.

After reconsidering and careful thought processing, I've affirmed Family Guy is worse than King of the Hill.

King of the Hill is relatively dull, however it is not presumptuous, nor is it overrated.

Unlike Family Guy which is overrated, dumb, and obnoxious, I can sit down and watch King of the Hill and not get annoyed to death, and even find some aspects of it that are awkwardly funny because they're based on real life situations.

By contrast, I cannot sit down and watch Family Guy without feeling my brain cells slowly dieing.

Funny. The same can be said about 90 percent of your opinions.
Just thought that was interesting.

If you feel brain cells dieing by watching television, then you're trying too hard Kacen. I believe the fact we're too lazy to not watch television is your first problem.

And I'll tell you why Family Circus is still being printed... Bill and Jeff Keane aren't dead yet, he he...

Oh, I know Wulf... opinion trumps red science. You've reminded me a few times. But just like the good old union back when Democrats were admitted racists and slave drivers, I like proving my good southern friends were baptized upside down in Virginian wine on a Thursday. Can't blame em', but their priests need a good spank in the face for it.

There's a ten percent left over? Surprising. I didn't think you felt that highly of me. Posted Image

The only TV shows I watch regularly nowadays are the Daily Show (I like how they troll people IRL, plus I've watched it for years.) and UFO Hunters.

Literally anything else I just "catch by chance", but those two shows are the only ones I will put aside my schedule to watch.
