- ihavebeenseen, on 09/09/2009, -6/+660What is indecent is the 100 or so reality TV shows on the air waves right now.
- meschmie, on 09/09/2009, -9/+600The Family Guy? When did they add the "The"?
- twiztidsinz, on 09/09/2009, -13/+336To all those wondering where "The" came from...
They stole it from The Simpsons. http://instantrimshot.com/ - dashdingo, on 09/09/2009, -15/+286What is "The Family Guy"?
- hansolo, on 09/09/2009, -5/+272Seriously ***** The Parents Television Council.
It's always a small group of people manipulating to get their way. Janet Jackson and now this.
Can't they just ***** off for once. - aririn, on 09/09/2009, -1/+225"This is the kind of 'entertainment' Fox thinks is ideal for your kids to see on a Sunday night cartoon."
Since when is Family Guy targeted toward kids? - peestandingup, on 09/09/2009, -3/+200Here's an idea. Change the channel & ***** off??
- qwertycopter, on 09/09/2009, -4/+185Just ***** The Google it.
- getoffmybridge, on 09/09/2009, -3/+176Do you guys like The Futurama?
- lutafin, on 09/09/2009, -1/+145Who's fault is it that kids watch those shows? Sure as hell is not the tv network or the ***** government.
It's just to easy to point fingers instead of just taking caring of their kids. A television is not a goddamn baby sitter. - DBeta, on 09/09/2009, -1/+143Turning into?
- camaroz06, on 09/09/2009, -28/+163Maybe they were complaining that the show is turning into one giant turd of one liner, nonsensical skits.
- scallon, on 09/09/2009, -3/+135The Futurama just ripped off The The Simpsons.
- jtpxp00, on 09/09/2009, -1/+118Question: Is it easier to write letters and complain and bitch and whine? Or change the channel?
just curious - Jpatano, on 09/09/2009, -1/+117but if you just change the channel how will you force your ideals on anyone else ?

........................ ‘’~-,,-~’¯ - Zuggy, on 09/09/2009, -0/+90Part of the problem is that The Parent's Council assumes that all cartoons are for children. Family Guy, South Park, etc. are not meant for children, they are adult shows, that use animation as their medium
I also would've thought the 420 episode would've received more complaints for gratuitous drug use. - DCJoeDogv2, on 09/09/2009, -4/+93People who do NOTHING but watch shows just to complain about them are about as un-American as it gets. How about we use all those freedoms we have and just change the channel on the things we don't like or want our children to see. Be god damned parents for a change and stop; sitting the kids in front of the TV AKA the babysitter.
- brendond, on 09/09/2009, -5/+87Won't someone PLEASE think of the children!!!
/s
Seriously, I wouldn't call Family Guy a kid's show. Simpsons maybe, but not Family Guy. - xsecretfiles, on 09/09/2009, -0/+81I blame the manatees!
- Contention, on 09/09/2009, -1/+79Parents who object to TV content and PTC members - Here's a novel idea:
Take responsibility for your own damn mentally-deficient, fat, drug-ridden kids and:
MONITOR WHAT THEY WATCH. Don't have time in your busy schedule? Take away the TV remote, lock out channels, unplug it, lock it in a room, whatever it takes. If you distrust TV so much with your kids unsupervised that you're going to this length, put your money where you mouth is and take action that supports your beliefs.
Don't want them to watch something? CHANGE THE CHANNEL.
EXPLAIN TO THEM why you don't want them to watch something so that they can understand it. And if they don't respect you or listen well enough that you can't trust them to do as you tell them, regardless if they agree, might I purpose you have bigger damn problems with your kids than what they're watching on TV?
The world doesn't revolve around children. George Carlin said it best - You've turned them into cult objects, you have a child fetish, and it's NOT HEALTHY. And if you're a fully grown adult and still haven't learned to change the channel, ask your special needs worker to do it for you, because there is NO reason to watch content you object to.. No one forces you. - shakesmcgee1, on 09/09/2009, -5/+81People need to chill the hell out with what is on TV. Its like the moment anything gets on TV that is not PERFECTLY acceptable everybody FLIPS out. Open up your minds. In Europe they allow full nudity on TV and we won't even allow "foul language" on TV because it offends us. WAAA! Quit your bitching, and enjoy the humor!
- peestandingup, on 09/09/2009, -2/+76You think THATS bad...
- michrech, on 09/09/2009, -1/+70@redxii
Ignorance is not an excuse. If you're going to bring a ***** child into this world, you need to be responsible for what it experiences. As lutafin pointed out, a TV is not a baby sitter. - Ramenhood, on 09/09/2009, -18/+85I miss the first few seasons where Family Guy was actually really funny and didn't need this kind of humor.
- duk0r, on 09/09/2009, -3/+68It's *****. Not F. Goddamn censorship.
- Cepster, on 09/09/2009, -2/+65You think THAT's bad.......remember the time I played La Cucarracha for Paul McCartney?
- Jpatano, on 09/09/2009, -0/+63exactly, that's why before it comes on there's that whole warning, and a mature rating. take the stick out of your ass and use it to change the channel.
- marquoz, on 09/09/2009, -0/+62I'm the father of a 6 year old child who is not allowed to watch Family Guy. I felt it was better for him not to watch it and to enforce it then to expect some nameless faceless company to put on "good" shows all the time just because I have a child.
- iheartbakon, on 09/09/2009, -2/+61Use your god damn v-chips and stop complaining.
- dontlookleft, on 09/09/2009, -1/+55I do like The Futurama, a little more than The South Park.
- slvrbullet87, on 09/09/2009, -0/+50I was going to say that it is his decision not to use *****... but then i saw his user name
- dsmx, on 09/09/2009, -3/+51even the simpsons is a bit of a stretch for a kids show, family show at a stretch.
- rocknog, on 09/09/2009, -3/+51Uh oh, looks like Family Guy's taking a lot of heat for going down the crapper in the past few seasons. Boy, we could sure use a distraction right about now. And now, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Conway Twitty. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2aeRg_yMSE
- Whatasillyhat, on 09/09/2009, -17/+63Freaking FFC..
- RUFiO006, on 09/09/2009, -1/+45It's the kind of thing a mother would say: "you're always plugged into that Nintento or watching The Family Guy..."
- andrihb, on 09/09/2009, -0/+41Remember that time I got a salmon helmet from Mohammed?
- sibernetik, on 09/09/2009, -0/+41Gentlemen, we received 20 phone calls regarding the David Hyde-Pierce incident. As you all know 1 phone call equals a billion people so 20 billion people were offended by this!
- happyimbecile, on 09/09/2009, -1/+41It's THE Matt Groening moron
- Moralogic, on 09/09/2009, -1/+41Then they haven't seen "The" South Park.
- pandawa, on 09/09/2009, -3/+43I have had personal contact with the good ole PTC (my mother is a district manager or whatever they call that), and I have to say from what I've been witness to, these people are the same people in the whole birther movement. I almost shat myself when she tried to make the birther case. I was in shock.
At the same time, these people are people who can't wrap their head around the idea that adults can watch cartoons, and that not all cartoons are meant for children. Hell, if i had kids, they wouldn't be allowed to watch family guy, but after they've gone to bed, i'd fire up the ole Tivo and watch it. ITS FUNNY. I think South Park is the same, but then again they just don't give a ***** who gets offended. - happyimbecile, on 09/09/2009, -4/+43Same time we started calling Batman "The Batman"
- inactive, on 09/09/2009, -9/+47This kind of humor is what TV needs.
Forces people to stop being so damn uptight. - CobraClutch, on 09/09/2009, -0/+36Apparently tattling doesn't stop when you become an adult.
- ShingoEX, on 09/09/2009, -2/+36FCC complaints = butthurt by those who are pussies and want to raise pussy children.
- Elset, on 09/09/2009, -4/+38It's a cartoon. Of course it's for kids
- meschmie, on 09/09/2009, -0/+34If it makes you feel any better, I knew you were being sarcastic...
- NobodyWhoCares, on 09/09/2009, -0/+34People will complain about anything and everything.
If you don't like the show, then don't watch it. If you have children, stop being a bad parent by letting them watch shows with an MA rating. Problem solved. - Elset, on 09/09/2009, -2/+34Forgot my /s
Silly me for thinking digg users could guess when I was being sarcastic. - evil-doer, on 09/09/2009, -1/+32bugged me too.
