Section: Criticism and controversy

The line "They also commented that the shows Family Guy and American Dad are inadequate for children and are full of sex-themed jokes and foul language." is supposedly based on the interview that note 118 refers to, but the article mentions nothing of the sort. What's going on here? The article's locked so no edit possible...

I've just noticed that too the reference 118 is misused 2/3 times, the reference only mentions south park receiving support from the simpsons and king of the hill staff for ripping on family guy. It does not include any mention of a dislike of being compared to family guy or about being inappropriate for children. You can probably infer from the episode cartoon wars and cartmans behaviour that they do not like being compared to family guy but at the same time they also defend family guy. Either way the statements are not referenced by 118. 94.197.31.197 (talk) 10:30, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the section about South Park - as stated above the first two parts are not in the interview - the tone of the bit about support from other cartoon writers could be satirical, and certain doesn't equal criticism - all of the major cartoon franchises satirize each other, and it is likely that such 'thanks' is humourously meant. The last bit is not worthy of an encyclopedia - since when did the opinions of Eric Cartman count as criticism? Bertcocaine (talk) 10:22, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It seems to me this section is rather outdated. Maybe because it is locked, but it is lacking substantial criticisms, many of which hold more water that the critiques presented currently. For example, the criticisms of its treatment of issues such as race, mental illness, and figures such as Mother Teresa. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.20.57.138 (talk) 04:58, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Seasons?

I can't find a link to the Seasons pages on here, should they be added? --Maladroitmortal (talk) 21:23, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

They are at the very bottom in the Navagation Template. CTJF83 chat 21:47, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Meg (characters section)

Since it was specifically stated in Season: 3, Episode: 13 "Screwed the Pooch" that Meg's biological father isn't Peter maybe the character section where Meg is mentioned should be altered slightly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.20.189.8 (talk) 05:06, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No, that was just a joke. CTJF83 GoUSA 05:25, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
