7. That it came back and Futurama didn't.
8. They think rape is funny.
9. Stewie is a copy of Jimmy Corigan.
10. The flashbacks often have NOTHING to do with the stories. You can take all of the gags from one episode and swap them with another and someone who hasn't seen either episode before wouldn't know there was a difference.

Those are the beauties of it (excluding number 8).
1. From the beginning, everyone at her school hated meg, it just slowly started shining through to the family. And Stewie has changed as he's aged. He's become a more pronounced character and he's becoming gay as time moves on. If you watch them in order it makes him gayer and gayer as time goes by, not just one episode he's suddenly a huge queer.
2. In relation to the amount of episodes there are, musical numbers aren't that many.
3. Well, they make people laugh.
4. Needs more backing up.
5. They do it well. They find something about them and caricature it, and the falling is always comical. Whether he's doing the drawing out the pain thing, which everybody knows somebody who does it, or they find a situation where it fits.
6. If it's good enough to get the creators to make a whole new show which too is loved by many, it's gotta be doing something right.
7. Blame Matt Groening and his team for that. They've got the power.
8. Fair enough point.
9. Care to elaborate?
10. That's their uniqueness. Better than having just an exact copy of another show. They decided to do something original and people like it for that.
@Freak - Yeh, that is a pretty good achievement. But not only did it do that, it did it twice.
