Fox's Animation Domination! Cleveland Show premieres, new season!

A fantastic showing for all shows!
 
The Simpsons was fantastically hilarious, keeping the momentum from last year's awesome season.
 
The Cleveland Show started out great, but let's see how it goes....
 
Family Guy, although not very funny, raised the bar on how TV cartoons are produced. The Disney sequence blew my mind!
 
American Dad....was great!
 
How about you?

IF I LIVED NEXT TO A BEAR I WOULD SHOOT IT, AND IF IT SPOKE IN A RUSSIAN ACCENT, I WOULD SHIT MY PANTS!!!!

Wow, we must have watched different shows on FOX because my impression of the "night of premeires" was one of strong disappointment.  The Simpsons episode was one of the weaker ones I've seen in a good long time when compared to last seasons crop of better than average shows.  The Cleveland Show was so hurried and bland, I often flipped over to something, anything else to wake up.  The bear was kind of funny, but everything about the focus family was just pablum.  I had hopes when I saw that Family Guy was airing one of their "On the Road" shows since I count them among the funniest.  But this one was just an excuse to see the characters in wacky worlds.  I picked up at the Disney section but it ended with a tired joke.  Same thing with the Robot Chicken part.  By the time American Dad was on, I had had enough.  I watched a few minutes of it and switched over to the ballgame. 

How is Seth MacFarlane not the richest man on the planet?

American Dad was good, the rest was pretty meh. Mind Quad!

I loved the Disney part on family guy... everything else was meh. Especially the Cleveland show, I didn't really like it. They pretty much use the same gags from family guy.

Three back-to-back Seth MacFarlane cartoons... I don't know man. They're all identical in my mind, and I'm not a fan. Even though I loved the Simpsons for a long long time, these new episodes have been awful. I can't believe they canceled King of the Hill for Cleveland Show... 

" I loved the Disney part on family guy... everything else was meh. Especially the Cleveland show, I didn't really like it. They pretty much use the same gags from family guy. "

I only watched The Simpsons last night. I don't know if I can handle 3 Seth MacFarlane shows all next to each other. But The Simpsons was great and featured perhaps my favorite character in the show, Comic Book Guy.

Wow I have the opposite opinions. The simpsons has gone stale IMO and should be taken out back and shot. The show has gone on for too long. I don't find it funny anymore. I don't really see the cleveland show going on for too long and wonder why they picked him for a spin-off when they should of picked someone more interesting, maybe Quagmire? As for Family Guy I hate to watch it now because that show now rapes any memories I have of the old classic Family Guy from the first couple of seasons. As for American Dad, I don't hate but I don't really care for it either.

Well unless your joking, I would have to say the episode that Chris' hot new english teacher killed the husband with a talking bear. "

" why they picked him for a spin-off when they should of picked someone more interesting, maybe Quagmire?  "

I'm still skeptical about The Cleveland Show.  It's a spin-off of the least funny of the 4 guys on Family Guy.  The Simpsons episode was great and I'm glad they are back to their old form.  The Family Guy episode was funny and spectacular from a production standpoint.  As you said, the Disney part was amazing.  American Dad was also very funny.  I love the take on Platoon/Born of the Fourth of July.
 
Overall, I am very excited about the new season of Animation Domination.  ^__^

I don't understand how The Simpsons is still on TV.

At some point Sunday Night animation domination became TGIF from the 90s, that thing that I no longer understand that a ton of people seem to love watching. Even people who hate the shows can't stop watching. They watch the show, then wonder how its still on the air, and they're not being satirical. Baffling.

Seth MacFarlane addressed this in numerous interviews.  His answer is no one wants to see a show about a rapist.  It's a joke response, sure, but I think it states how one dimensional he views the character.  I believe he sees Cleveland as having greater potential for growth. "

Thats true now that I think about it but Cleveland just seems boring. Joe would be more exciting at least. I don't know, I think that there are just better choices than Cleveland.

I wonder the same thing too...... "

Just watched the new Simpsons nice to see they are continuing the elven year tradition of not being funny, I wish it would just end and the memory of the good episodes could be kept intact. The longer it goes on the worse its getting.

American Dad was the best out of all the premieres.  I used to despise that show completely, so that's saying alot.

Mostly because it's funny and doesn't get old.

I'm not sure what show you are watching. "

Sure, everybody is entitled to their opinion, but the point of a forum is to discuss the opinions and see why they are different.
 
What about it specifically did you see that it wasn't funny anymore?

Oh yeah, American Dad is a really great show, mostly because it's smarter than the other two McFarlane shows. "

Honestly, the Simpsons is so past it's prime it hurts.

Rofl that's not saying much dude. "

@evanbrau : Well, I didn't see any of that in this new episode or the HD episodes of last season. I once also thought the same thing about The Simpsons, but the thing is, it's changing. The stories are now funnier and deal with more topics than just hi-jinks in Springfield or random celebrity jokes.
 
Homer was very good in this new episode, and saw many different sides to him, especially alongside Marge.
