I must admit that I didn't start watching The Family Guy until years after a co-worker of mine raved about it. I just never happened across it on television. It wasn't until I was visiting some relatives in New York who had the first volume on DVD that I had a chance to sit down and watch a few episodes. I was hooked instantly! You do have to have a somewhat warped sense of humor to appreciate it though, or at least be able to find humor in other people's twisted sense of humor. I believe you can appreciate the jokes even more if you grew up in the 70's, as there are quite a few references to famous music/people/TV shows of that era.

Brilliant! Seth rocks the kasbah!
