Eh... It's Good but not Great
12 January 2019
It's amusing and comforting as a background noise but not nearly as funny as Family Guy, The Simpsons, American Dad, or South Park. I've watched up to season 12 currently so I've already seen most of the episodes. There are a ton of great qualities but I'm going to go over everything I found wrong with it.

Without a doubt, both Bill and Peggy are two of the most annoying characters. If an episode focuses on Bill, it completely sucks. He is far too much of a pitiful downer and its extremely irritating when he takes charge of his life by the end of the episode and goes right back to crying by the next. Too much of Peggy can get really on anyone's nerves and I wish the writers kept her as more of a side character.

Hank is pretty funny but he can get my nerves with his morals. Like in that episode where someone was sitting in his seat at church and he had a tantrum that ended with him getting assigned seats. Or the fact that he had to cover up the town's history when he found out it was founded based on prostitution but he already said before that preserving history was important in the civil war episode. I understand that his over the top morals are what make him funny but it becomes moronic when it becomes the moral of the episode.

How many episodes is Kahn going to spend trying to get into that club. It always ends with him realizing he wants something different. Like Bill and his insecurities it's a bit too repetitive.

Overall the plots are interesting enough to be watchable and very entertaining but the show could use more of a comedic quality. I found it much funnier in the earlier seasons. Now it kinda drags.
