I've been a fan of Family Guy for years now and I don't see why people get so offended?

It's aired in Fox's sunday line-up and on adult swim which are known for being more adult oriented cartoons. Therefore I don't think people should really be able to complain about it. It's not as though the show is being aired on Disney or Nickelodeon. There is satirical content, but so what? It really isn't that bad.

Only b/c it's a cartoon and not real actors, y'know? Some are concerned about kids watching the show then. I think that is what really comes down too. then again, many just nee something to complain about, y'know?!

Family guy makes fun of things we see in politics and society. I mean they will say anything to make fun of a specific group. People find it hard to accept that. That is why, controversy often takes over this show. Another thing is that it can be sometimes a little bit too violent which people find objectional. But I do not care about all that. It is the only show that makes me watch television. Family Guy is simply the best we have now!

I love Family Guy! People who et offended are the people who are less educated, less open, and extremely sensitive. Theres a reason why cartoons are allowed to have so much satirical and explicit content, it is simply because it just a CARTOON! No one can do anything about it=p Thats the beauty of family guy and other shows. People that do get offended shouldn't even watch TV in the first place.=p
