So you're generalizing by just what you see? Hmmm...well, by that same token, I can say that just little kids watch Avatar, because I only know??perhaps one other person where I live who is my age??and watches it. I watch South Park and Family Guy regularly, but I am by no means an idiot. Thanks for being open minded! |
Get out of my mind.

| This may be an Avatar forum, but this thread is about why Avatar's rating (accoriding to TV.com) are lower than Family Guy and South Park. Therefore, no one is off topic yet with the exception of Tokyoberry who is trying to tell people what to post (which should be its own seperate thread). Avatar has a plot, Family Guy is just solidly funny. South Park is in the "I can do with it, I can do without it" category. |

Obviously, you have never seen South Park before.??
And just because a show does not have as rich a plot as Avatar, that does not mean that it is stupid.?? South Park and Avatar are two different genres and it is not fair to compare them.

Sarcasm duely noted.
Whoa, whoa everyone. Personally I think alot of people are being as retarded as Family Guy or South Park is(not that that's always a bad thing, sometimes it's funny). Calm down, don't take offense so easily. As far as the "deep lessons" contained in those two shows, I would LOVE to see them. Bathroom humor seems to have MANY lessons hidden within the context. Example- TOILETS!.....get it? No? Let me try again- FARTS!......get it? No? Well, you're lost.
Anyways neither of those shows beat Avatar. That heading for "most popular shows" can be misleading because it's talking about traffic over those sites in the past little while, not about fan ratings.
I think the popularity should be based on audience numbers, not fan ratings.

Dictionary: Retarded; Affected with mental retardation.
I hope now you realize the stupidity of your statement.

You obviously can't see past the bathroom humor intended to draw in such audiences. I could give examples, but you wouldn't get them, seeing as you don't watch the show. To put the conversation we had in my English class quite simply, South Park takes complicated social issues and simplifies them. Chaos ensues throughout an episode, and at the end, one of the little "round things" (as my teacher called them) says something very profound and meaningful. Basically, it's like a moral of the entire story. Everything odd that happened happened for a reason.
I'm not saying every episode is like that, some are downright crude and pointless,??but there are some that deal with politics, and rights and such, and I think the creators get a very good point across...that is, if you can understand what they're trying to say.
Like Katatewolfpunk said (nice Stan icon, by the way)...South Park is an aquired taste...like Clam-ato

| avatar, south park, and family guy are all great shows. but u cant really compare avatar to fg and sp cause they fit into different categories. fg and sp are comedies with some episodes having deeper meanings, while avatar is a show with plots and focues more on character development than comedy. |
