: : Clerks: the Animated Series was just one long in-joke that wasn't all that funny in the first place (minus Charles Barkley, but there's only so many times you can go to the well). What makes it worse was that the commentary... well, I'm Korean, see. And, as such, these foolish fucks went on endlessly and I'd basically like to slap the shit out of most of the people on the commentary.
: -- I haven't heard the commentary, but I can't see how the whole 'Korean animators' bit could piss many people off... why'd it piss you off?
Listen to the commentary on all of them, then. The reason I don't participate in the fanboy shenanigans like Stash Bash isn't that I don't have the time, money or qualifications to go, but more that I'd probably get arrested if I watched the cartoons in preparation.
: : Family Guy ruled over all... Simpsons included.
: -- Blegh... I can stand maybe five minutes of that at a time, but then it starts to grate (mostly theway they have to explain every single joke). And better than Simpsons, Futurama, King Of The Hill, South Park or Invader Zim? Hmmm...
See, why question what I already stated previously? I understand it takes different strokes for different folks, but here's how I view what you've mentioned.
Of course I view it better than the Simpsons. Really, the Simpsons quit being anything more than average long ago. While I'm glad the show evolved from the "Bart the badboy son," it's a shame it's become nothing more than "the Homer Show" guest starring every character they can cram into their no-longer intriguing scripts. I'd say it topped out at about season seven and now is just getting along on the fact that it's been here forever. It's kinda like how they didn't want to take Cal Ripken out of a game when the O's were tanking just because of "the Streak" and the respect every other player had for him and the game. At least Married With Children stepped out once they figured out that the well was dry instead of having people piss in the well.
As for Futurama, I view that as better than the Simpsons. Didn't it get canned, too?
King of the Hill is so stupid that I can't see why anyone watches it. The characters are unoriginal, the animation is piss poor, the stories have almost all been done better by others and it seriously falls into the "in-joke" category.
I can't say an unkind word about South Park. Hell, they brought back Kenny, so I can't complain at all, now.
I love the creator of Invader Zim for creating Squee, if nothing else. However, I'm not one of the people who think this is the most brilliant show on the planet and would rather watch the Powerpuff Girls, Dexter's Laboratory, Ren and Stimpy and Spongebob Squarepants any day of the week over it.
Anyhow, yeah... so, that's that.
