Family Guy vs. South Park

~~someonecompletelyrandom~~ · 10-20-2009, 11:41 AM

I thought it was just like a really good episode. And it was cool to see it on the big screen since I'm such a Simpsons nut. It didn't really feel "movie-ish" but I don't mind that because what if it went the route of The Rugrats Movie? Believe me when I say I use this phrase sparingly but that was a total Jump The Shark moment.

it was good, i just dont think it was as good as it should have been and i feel like there wouldnt be much point in watching it again, as its an average movie, i just expected sooo much more from it. Ive never heard that saying, what does it mean?

There was an episode of a classic U.S television series called Happy Days where one of the main characters jumps over a shark on skies - something that was totally out of place and unrealistic compared to the rest of the series.

So it sort of means when a TV show, movie, book, whatever does something out of character and completly changes what the show was all about in the beginning.

oh right, so the movie wasnt out of character. it was like one big long episode?

Yeah, it retained all of the traits of the TV show without trying to introduce elements contrary to it's original intent. So like an hour long special or something.

Pretty much, as soon as they introduced Dill the show went steadily downhill.

I was actually pleasantly surprised by the Simpsons Movie. It may have been my exceptionally low expectations, but there you go. It worked for me.

I stopped watching after the second film. When the babies start controlling big mechanical dinosaurs I opted out

a second movie doesnt even come to mind, is that the one where they go to Paris, or is that the first movie?
