We've had separate threads for the various shows before but I don't think we've had one for the whole line-up of animated Sunday shows. Simpsons, FG, AD, Cleveland Show are all back tonight with Cleveland show featuring Ric Flair! I'm sure it will still be horrible.
 
I can. The children annoy me, but I hear if I look past it, it's a good show.

I'm upset that I'm actually going watch TCS tonight. Damn you Ric Flair.
 
I find the younger two kids on Bob's Burgers to be pretty damned funny, but the oldest daughter...blech. And of course, she gets more of the focus then the other two.
 
American Dad is the only one I usually look forward to. Simpsons has improved the last few years but the "Nedna" thing at the end of last season was silly. Family Guy is incredibly hit and miss.
 
I still enjoy FG, it just bugs me when they take one joke and run it into the ground for 22 minutes. Surfin' Bird is a prime example. Fuck that episode.

C'mon, Tina's great! I didn't like her initially, but she ended up w/ some p. great material - "this is where I thrash", her "complicated relationship" w/ zombies. Here's some more stuff: http://www.tvquotes.net/show.php?cn=212&/character/Tina+Belcher

Gene & Louise are great, too, but Tina is underrated.
 
I just saw Ric Flair suplex a canoe. Cleveland show has won me over.
 
So far I've watched the Simpsons and it sucked. It's bad enough usually but when they try to do stuff to make it seem relevant to the modern day (shit with technology and social media) it's even worse.
 
If I were to judge it by just 12 minutes - and I will - I've enjoyed it so far. Does it fall of a cliff big time somewhere? It sounds you didn't like the Taiwanese dramatization joke (and indeed, I believe I have to explain that joke to a friend of mine) but that's my favourite part so far. There were some other good jokes so far too ("I know what I'm doing" / "We all know what we're doing, but are the actions appropriate to the situation at hand?").

The Kim Jong Il song at the end is funny too... and that's where the episode ends in my viewing.
 
A joke about how children pronounce spaghetti, Rocky IV music, and knowing Ric Flair is coming up. Stop trying to win my viewership, Cleveland Show.
 
American Dad was the only one that was memorable because it was completely different than the usual AD episode. Really weird one. Super dissapointed with Flair on Cleveland show but that show is awful.
 
My view: Simpsons was bad. Family Guy was eh. Cleveland Show was eh...which is actually good for the Cleveland Show. And American Dad was good and wins this week (which honestly is probably a streak of some length at this point)
 
Yeah, American Dad is far and away the strongest show on the lineup.
 
American Dad's quality is inversely related to the quality of Family Guy. It's actually a lot like South Park in that it's a show which was okay at first, but hit its stride after a season or two.
 
the Cleveland Show is awesome now....assholes.

Family Guy had a ducktales reference but that's about it. Little Shop of Horrors spoof was awesome. The Simpsons was...there...
 
I remember seeing the first American Dad episode and it was so bad that I didn't bother watching another one until I randomly caught one in probably season 3. It got so much better.
 
Taiwanese dramatization joke was a funny moment because it seemed like people who didn't really know what it was based from, still just thought it was a funny moment anyway.

As far as the Seth McFarlane comedy hour and a half. I enjoy all three shows, but sometimes can't watch them all back to back, sometimes they just come off too similar, especially Family Guy/Cleveland show.
 
All 3 Sethtoons are linked by a hurricane plot this week. It's like when Salem ran through TGIF with a time ball!
 
I DVR all the Animation Domination shows. I usually watch the Seth shows that night, but here it half a week later and I still haven't touched the Simpsons. I find more enjoyment in rewatching the shit out of the first six seasons I have on DVD.
 
Family Guy wasn't funny but it was great seeing Meg tell them all off finally. Simpsons was probably the best show tonight.
 
Maybe the worst Treehouse of Horror ever? Avatar... really now? How topical and painfully unfunny
 
I'll agree it was weak, but I don't think "topical" is a good criticism since the first Treehouse did "The Raven", and many others parodied sources that are decades old.
