The funniest show on TV. Roger and Stan are two of the most hilarious characters from any show I've ever seen. American Dad is much smarter than Family Guy and definitely worth checking out if you haven't seen it.

Witty, touching, thought-provoking. This show doesn't just talk about death, but makes you think about life as well. I wish it had lasted longer than two seasons.

Ted is kind of a tool, but the show more than makes up for it with a solid supporting cast. Just do yourself a favour and skip the series finale.
