Family Guy 7 x 11 - Not All Dogs Go To Heaven.

and Seth MacF has stated it was in retaliation to a Simpson's joke where Peter Griffin is on a wanted poster for Plagirisim, OK Seth, your thoughts of revenge from a simple inter-office ribbing go straight to Rape & Murder...If I ever see this man walking down the street I will shoot him

According to the Wiki page for this episode a reviewer called the Meg scenes:
"surprisingly well handled, and taken as a whole, the episode came across as one of the more thoughtful and intelligent outings we've seen this season"
.

I really don't get the whole South Park, Simpsons and Family Guy vendetta thing, what is their problem?

Simpsons & family guy I can see because thier both animated sitcoms on the same network, and South Park just thinks FG is "ghey"

both South Park and Famliy guy go out of their way to be offensive but with different ideological agendas.

I find herbet on FG pretty unpleasant but then it pales in comparison to the some of the South Park ones - I found the ep where Britney Spears shot herself and lives as a headless body very unpleasant and turned it off.

No you wont, so quit the lame internet posturing, it makes you sound like a moron.

 

[Locutus of Bored]

Yeah that's just it. This is the 5th or 6th time that we've seen Peter physically attack Meg, this is going a bit beyond a joke here.

How many times has Homer choked Bart? We've got to be in the hundreds by now.

Nothing like making claims of wanting to murder an actual person to chastise someone for murdering cartoon characters.

Did you actually think about that comment before posting it, or was it just a stream of consciousness thing?

I like how King of the Hill has stayed so neutral in this whole thing. They are off doing their own thing, and could care less.

 

[Sephiroth]

I'm just saying that this guy is unbalanced, he'll probably be on the news in 10 or so years with a pile of corpses in his crawlspace

Because he makes tasteless jokes? As opposed to someone who claims to want to shoot him and can't separate a stupid fictional joke from someone's behavior in real life?

Get some perspective.

King Of The Hill is Leave It To Beaver for the 21st century - bland and inoffensive and could of been done with live actors rather than animation.

Very much a non-entity.

It's more Andy Griffith than Leave it to beaver. And it is anything but bland. They've done a better job at satire than any of the other shows in the lineup.

I'd say you're the one who is unbalanced. And with your talk of wanting to shoot someone just cause you don't like a joke they made, I'd say that future you're talking about is more likely to be your own.

Oh no, he's used the "I am rubber, you are glue" gambit. There's no defense against that!

 

[Sephiroth]

are you really trying to start some sort of personal flame war?

 

[Locutus of Bored]

No. Do you really see nothing wrong with what you said in relation to a fictional event?

 

[Sephiroth]

do you allways take everything on the net 100% seriously? do Irony and sarcasm escape you?

Take this comment, apply it towards the cartoon, and I think everything will work out fine for you.

 

[Sephiroth]

thats what i was doing, you took it out of context and started flaming me for it, I dont react well to things like that

Dull predictable episode and ending. An man Brian was a fucking douche in this episode. Granted I'm not big cheerleader of religion, but come on Meg found something that made her feel accepted and loved, they could have dodged the easy shots about book burning and bashing on religion and just ended with Meg being religious and that's that. Taking shots at religion is easy, too easy and unoriginal.

They weren't taking a shot at religion, they were taking a shot at ORGANIZED religion, and more specifically pushy Evangelical Christianity. There is a difference between "I believe in God" and "I'm a Baptist/Catholic/Lutheran/Methodist/etc." I thought that was made pretty clear when Lois seemed aghast that Brian didn't have any spirituality, although she had no problem with his lack of affiliation with a religious denomination or lack of church attendance.

And it was specifically targeting pushy Evangelism, as personified by Kirk Cameron. Read the real life story behind Kirk Cameron and his "conversion" to Evangelical Christianity. After his "conversion", he became a pushy asshole who demanded that everyone else conform to HIS newfound religious beliefs. He even had the audacity to use his star power to demand script changes to make the show more "Christian." And we see that by adopting the "Kirk Cameron" Evangelical form of Christianity, Meg becomes a pushy asshole as well who insists that her family conform to her religious beliefs.

It wasn't a slam on all religion, or even all organized religion, but more specifically on one form of religion which is personified by ignorance and intolerance.

And FYI, Brian the atheist is also portrayed on the show as an alcoholic, so it's not like they are really holding the atheist character out to be superior to the religious characters.
