Keith Olbermann's blind spot: he thinks "Family Guy" is the funniest thing on television.

Even thinking it's funny is a blind spot. This is real 20/1-billion-type blindness. Pity.

Well, it's not as bad as American Dad -- which I only know because I've had to sit through it at the local bar a few times -- but yeah, it isn't good. Pop Culture Reference in Unexpected and Possibly Disturbing Context! Hilarious!

Jesus God... "Family Guy" is the funnier one of the two?

Sad, but from what I've seen, true.

I hate 'em both. It's rare that I flat-out hate a scripted series, but I really hate Family Guy and don't understand the appeal at all.

I like pop culture references and even self-referential stuff when it's smart, but Family Guy isn't smart.

Guess I'm kinda blind then...

I tried over and over to watch the show. I watched two and gave up, and people kept saying, "You haven't watched enough." I watched more and was disgusted, and people said, "Oh, it's better now." I watched a couple more and decided I didn't have to listen to them any more.

The entire humor consists of pop culture references. They don't even do anything, unless using bad language counts. The very few times he got hold of a humorous concept, he wrestled it to the ground and forced it to keep doing the same thing over and over until I wished he had just stuck with the usual unfunny junk and not gotten my hopes up.

I haven't watched much "Family Guy" but what I have seen makes it look like a "Simpsons" knockoff, with none of the original's wit or, you know, originality.
