I think it's funny. The people who find it rude or offensive should be more open minded. Family Guy also made fun of some of my characteristics or beliefs, but I still find it funny, because I think comedy can be done about any subject, and you can make fun of anything unless your intension is bad and if it's really funny.

Personally, what little I've seen of it I can't stand. I think the main reason is because it's a cartoon. I don't appreciate adult humor being portrayed in cartoons because it might attract kids to it... and that would be really inappropriate.
I mean, I don't watch any of those smutty types of shows because they're just not me, but in general it's just a case of ignoring the show rather than being offended by it.

Now if only I could use that little smiley with the tongue poking out rin :-P (that'll have to do for now) LOL
But seriously, you're right, not that I'm easily offended though LOL, I'm not at all, I'd have to be one of the most easy going people you'd ever meet, I'm usually the one who offends others :)... just ignore the show. I once caught my seven year old daughter watching it on youtube and quickly turned it off though. I asked her not to watch it again because it was meant for adults (not sure whether she quite understood that)

It is crude and offensive - and that's part of what makes it funny! I think it's okay to show it later in prime time, and that it shouldn't be restristed to just cable channels. It's up to the parents to make sure that their kids aren't watching inappropriate shows on tv (not the networks). It's definitely one of my favorite shows!

I honestly love it. My husband and I watch it all the time. We have two seasons of it on DVD. We also have a Family Guy blanket, a animated Quagmire figure (he talks), and a stuffed Stewy doll. It is one of those shows that doesn't single out a group of people to make fun of, it pokes fun at every group of people. I personally think there is nothing wrong with it being on regular television.
