Wow, I really hate what the show has become. I know some people never liked it, some people always have, and most people have gotten into it recently, but I'm pretty much an in-between. I got into in 2003, and was a huge fan up until pretty much 2007. I even liked the first half of Season Four, but more for the "WOOOO NEW EPISODES!" factor than the actual quality of the show. From the Season 5 boxset onwards, I think it's been terrible.
Bringing back characters who were funny ONCE may have raised a smile the first time, but they bring the characters back so often now, it's taking the piss. The amount of musicals in the show, EVERY DAMN EPISODE has a long musical moment. Jesus, I know Seth MacFarlane's obsessed with his own voice, but this is far too over the top.
I hate people calling it "OH MY GOD, SO RANDOM!", but that's more of a 2006/2007 complaint, it's died down a fair bit. It's became as bad as new epsidoes of The Simpsons really, only with less good epsidoes to look back on, and I can't even watch them anymore because they remind me too much of the new crap.
And before anybody says "don't like it, don't watch it", trust me, I don't watch it anymore. Still doesn't stop me from making a thread trashing the show, though :xyx
