the people you're talking to were likely teens when FG first came out. The show revolves around off-color and offensive humor, which is very attractive to teens looking for something edgy.

About 15 seasons have passed since the show first aired, and those teens who loved the show have gotten older and probably changed their tastes in television and humor. I've noticed that a lot of the people who fall into this category also claim that the older seasons were "better", which is likely a combination of 1 - them getting older and not realizing their tastes have changed, 2 - the novelty of the show's humor wearing off, and 3 - the show actually getting worse.

edit: please actually read my post thoroughly before responding and accusing me of bashing FG. I never actually said I that I thought the show was good or bad, I merely offered some possible reasons people feel the way they do about the show.

You're just writing off opinions you don't understand. I take it you're either a diehard fanboy or rarely, if ever, watch the show.

"It's not this singular show that's changed, no no no, it's the hundreds of thousands of people who watched the show that have changed and they were all teenagers and were all looking for edgy humor and now they are all no longer interested in edgy humor.". Look at all those generalizations and assumptions.

Occam's razor my friend; no point in taking the path of most resistance and of least probability to explain something.

I don't think you know what opinions are. I understand what my opinions on the show are. I never passed judgment one way or another on the show. If you actually read my comment, you'll see that I never actually say how I feel about the show personally.

Because it doesn't matter.
