Topic	Did Family Guy invent the phrase "grinds my gears?"
TyVulpine 04/17/17 12:54:54 AM #10:	PK_Spam posted... Kungfu Kenobi posted... Did Family Guy invent... NO Family Guy didn't invent shit. People act like the whole nostalgia obsession thing is a recent occurance, but people have been pining for the past for forever now. Family Guy got its early fan base by CONSTANTLY, agonizingly, beating dead horses again and again. Do you think people watched shows like The Brady Bunch because they wanted to? Of course not. They had to because there were barely any tv shows on air at the time. But people look fondly on stuff like that anyway because the past can always been painted as being better than now when, oftentimes, it's not. In fact, the past is usually worse than now. And it keeps getting worse the further back you go. I disagree. It's quite the opposite. Back in the 1970s-1990s, you had great shows like MASH, Cosby Show, Cheers, Friends, Dallas, yes even Seinfeld, Different Strokes, All In The Family, and so on. What do you have today? Trashy "reality shows" that rely on fights between contestants, sleazy stars, and so on. --- Fall down, go boom... Life is like a box of chocolates. Most of it is crap. <cite>TyVulpine posted [p:877343403] in Did Family...
