:lol: As of right now, a big goose egg for Family Guy.
I wont say I haven't had a good laugh while watching Family Guy but I definitely feel like its been farmed for all its worth and even at its best I feel it was never as good as the others
I've come to appreciate Family Guy more and more for both its visceral burn-it-all-down approach—tho I can see how the nihilism is a turnoff—and how much it plays with the characters knowing they're on a tv show (especially one not well-respected) and other fourth-wall stuff. It's very meta now.

Hah, seriously I wasn't trying to start WW3 here, just a straight observation. In fact, I'm trying to think of the last truly great satirical tv show here and drawing a blank there too.
Just say "Paddington Bear." :shifty:
I would only i can't recall ever having watched it. Do the wombling Wombles of Wimbledon qualify?

Aren't they Heston's school chums?

Wombles were sarf London so they'd have had to be pen pals and, given the age gap, teachers rather than pupils. So in short, definitely possible.

If the topic is Heston a possible hypothesis is upgraded immediately to probable if not conclusive.

Futurama, with additional mentions for Adventure Time, Regular Show, or American Dad.

I liked FamG before its Flanderisation.

I've tried to get so many people into Adventure Time but none of them can finish the series. I get that it's a lot of content, but I can't fathom just being like "well, I'm done with this."

Maybe Ive seen too much (all) but it doesn't really require that you've seen everything and in sequence etc.

its 1940's Looney Tunes for me. I seriously dislike 99.9999% of the animation I see nowadays. I'm not saying its not good, i'm just saying it doesn't appeal to me whatsoever. Sigh
From what I see there's still a little hope
That's if we don't hang from too much rope
