We never really tried to shock for shock's sake on 'Family Guy'. If something was horribly offensive and shocking, we would put it in if it was also hysterically funny.
Some of those more out-there jokes were written in the wee hours of the morning. Somehow, they remained funny the next day.
The trend today is vampires, zombies, angels, all the stuff that puts me right to sleep. It's too bad because it's so much less interesting than the diversity of stories you can tell with science.
The quest for Tommy Lee Jones' laugh begins now.
Obviously I'm a big fan of 'South Park', but it gets tiring at times when there's so much of it.
If something sticks around long enough that it makes it to seasonal D.V.D. release, I'll watch it. That's how I watched 'The Sopranos'.
