[quote] I don't understand why people like it although I don't hate it as much as I lead on, I do like the Brain and/or Stewie heavy episodes, it mainly doesn't appeal to me because Peter is such an asshole... where in the Simpsons Homer (I know Peter is not a Homer *rip-off* but since Peter is 'big dumb oaf' might as well compare him to other big dumb oaf in his class, they're the same archtype and nothing more) is always messing up, he does geniunely love his family (yeah, he was taunting Bart at the fair in the last episode, but it wasn't anywhere near as malicious as what Peter probably would have done) so the happy ending always comes from him realizing he's made a mistake then trying really hard to fix it but Peter seems to think he's the center of the world, if his family or friends get a break in life he'll try and steal it for himself, he's both emotional and pyshically abusive to his family unless the story needs him to show love for them (ie- the very out of character line "the best thing I ever did with my life was be a dad") he never does, he acts like a two year old child crying at the mother figure or fighting with the children instead of a father figure in all of the episodes. resolution comes by just a few lines of dialog that don't really make any sense. I realize this probably a joke on how most live-action sitcoms dissolve real problems with the stupidest of solutions, but it comes accross as bad writing, actions speak much louder then words and after s [/URL][/B][/S][/I][COLOR=660000]-- Message too long, Autoquote has been Snipped --[/COLOR][/quote] Show Signature: include your profile signature.
