Family Guy

Tales From the Rec Room - A podcast by Bree! - Thursdays

Well, they can’t all be winners. Bree and sitcom retrospective expert José look back at the first three season of adult comedy “bad boi” Family Guy – the adult animation juggernaut accused of being everything from a Simpsons clone to one of America’s “worst TV shows for primetime viewing.” The show gained cult status thanks to the DVD box sets that littered many a rec room (hey, that’s the name of the show!) but… did it actually earn it? No, no, this show was just plain bad, even though teenage Bree really, really liked it. Listen to Bree and José try to rationalize how this show has managed to stay on the air for so long, find some nice-ish things to say about Seth MacFarlane, and ponder what it’s like to be a tween of the 00’s raised on Family Guy the way we were raised on The Simpsons. Plus, the first-ever case of someone completely blanking on almost every question of the Lightning Round. It’s my fault, folks, I asked someone to say nice things about Family Guy.
