Yeah I can't stand family guy any more, got too political. Even though Matt and Trey do go that way from time to time I really still don't know where they stand on a lot of issues...not that way with Seth McFarland. Same for 30 Rock, Tina and Alec can suck a dick.

I never thought Family Guy was funny to begin with. McFarlane has no sense of timing at all. He takes loads of jokes too long and too far. The Simpsons still makes me laugh when I see it though (which is pretty rare) and I loved King of the Hill.

Never watched 30 Rock, but it wouldn't be the first show to be ruined by it's creators using it as a political platform. Designing Women was a big example of that. As time went on, even people on the left were saying "okay, we get it already". And there are other examples of that as well.

Again though, South Park is one I never thought was funny to start with, so I don't really care what political comments they make.

On the flipside, I'd likely have had little to nothing in common politically with the writer/creators of shows like MASH, All in the Family and Soap, but the shows were worth watching because they were genuinely funny.

So are you saying South Park isn't comedically on par with Designing Women??? :nonod:

It is fair to say South Park isn't as funny as it once was (most shows aren't after 14 seasons) but it was funny enough to basically single handedly build Comedy Central into what it is today.

Before South Park it was a channel that basically just had old stand up clips and re-runs of Kids in the Hall.

You think that South Park and Family Guy aren't funny and then you pull out Soap? I bought the DVD for the first season thinking the cast was amazing and that I would really enjoy the show. I watched the first 3 episodes then gave the DVD away to charity. They sent it back. True story.

And I disagree on unilaterally saying that McFarlane has bad timing. Yeah, he takes jokes too far some times, but on the other hand, some jokes are funny because they go too far or take so long to develop. The Bullfrog gag is one of those jokes that takes way too long, but is absolutely classic.

That said, every other McFarlane show you couldn't pay me to watch.

MST 3K was better.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
