Family Guy sucks this season. I just binge watched all of the episodes and I was totally dumbfounded by what I had seen. Most of it was just childish toilet humor to be honest.

The main thing I love about Family Guy in their previous seasons is how they are unafraid to push boundaries and say politically incorrect things. Now the show hardly deals with any serious subject matter like it became famous for doing. Pretty much all I saw consisted of poop, pee, fart, burp, snot, nose picking, zit popping, diarrhea, booger, etc. jokes that would feel more at home on a kid's show than something like Family Guy.

It saddens me how the same show that used to be featured on the news regularly for having insanely controversial content is now pretty much just making stupid sight gags about bodily functions.

The fact that they are phasing out the gay jokes also bothers me because it shows how sensitive the once proudly insensitive show has become. Family Guy back in their earlier seasons featured gags about everything:No seriously, name any race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, disability, celebrity, or current event and I can almost guarantee that Family Guy did some offensive but simultaneously clever parody of that thing.

So unless they get back to their former anything goes roots, I think I'm gonna have to call it quits on new Family Guy for now. The show has become WAY too soft and overly sensitive, to the point where I sometimes forget that I'm watching an adult cartoon whenever I see it.

Don't get me wrong, I don't believe that EVERYTHING should be all offensive and grotesque. I definitely believe that there is room for more family friendly and childish content in the world of comedy. But that's not Family Guy. Family Guy has prided itself on crudeness since day one and unfortunately now, it's not even the same show anymore. Just a rotting shell of it's former glory.
