The Winner is 10 years past its prime. The "edgy" comedy that it claims to use is no longer edgy. Not to mention that fact that the Winner was not funny at all. I'm not sure what MacFarlane was thinking producing a show like this, but it was a colossal bomb. I did give this show a chance, instead of turning it off in 5 minutes (like I'm sure everyone else did). It never seemed to get better. The pilot was unbelievably lame and unbearable. It was 22 minutes of torture, to be exact. This show would have gotten at the most a 3 from me, had it not followed the same old, tired format that sitcoms of the 90's / early 2000 followed.
The laugh track is so unbelievably outdated. Shows like The Office don't use it anymore, and for a good reason. It ruins a show and is extremely annoying. Fox's laugh track seems to be extra annoying and louder. Whenever a new sitcom appears with the dreaded laugh track, it's almost a precursor to a horrible script. The laugh track is unnoticeable in shows that are actually funny, such as Seinfield. This show, on the other hand, would never come close to living up to such a caliber.
1.5 / 10 - Should be cemented in its grave. Wouldn't want Season II to come out any time soon.
