We watched the show last night and it just was not funny. It could have been hysterical, very disappointing.
I tend to lean towards your point of view. They could have done a lot better, but since liberals write that show, well, you see what you end up with.
Never been a strong FG watcher anyway. I think most of Fox’s animated shows are kind of running on vapors, including the Simpsons. Now I mean, the Simpsons are just “there”. It’s like they just follow a formula now.
