You can't call this a clone since the family actually loves each other.

Fugget about it actually has an interesting premise, and it could’ve been better if they decided to give it a more serious tone.

I enjoyed this show more than Family Guy, mostly because the family actually cares about each other in this show.

Nice to see everyone agreeing that saber got this one wrong

Oh snap, I animated on this TV show, most of us hated working on it though, but it was pretty easy to work on so that was a bonus haha

I honestly liked this "family guy clone" while it is lacking in character development it's the perfect show to watch whenever you don't have anything else to do and want to wind down. Cheap and fun entertainment which I think is why many of the episodes are streamed on RU-vid where they are easily accessible. The show knows it's target demographic and knows not to take itself too seriously because it doesn't need to.

I actually enjoyed the “Fugget About It” gag openings lol. No one claims it’s a masterpiece but I think it’s a more than enjoyable show, and it works its way into your heart pretty easily. Also I love Uncle Cheech

The show is actually better due to the fact the family actually CARES about each other

Fugget about it is a gem. Never viewed it as a Family guy rip-off.

To be fair, my Italian friend is literally a walking stereotype. The angrier he gets the more F bombs he drops with that thick accent they all have when speaking English. Speaks English perfectly fine when calm, then gets pissed and starts talking like a mafioso. He also switches sides in video games when his side is losing. So Italian.

I love how everyone is disagreeing with Saber and giving the show an actual chance

I love Fugget About It It’s a shame it’s not being produced anymore

You can’t arrest someone for speeding! This is Canada sir, I’m arresting you for hurting my feelings Amazing line in my opinion

As someone who is both Italian and Canadian, this show was highly enjoyable. The jokes were on point and relatable to some degree.

Saber is REALLY trying to get that theme song stuck in everyone's head so we'll suffer with him lol

I never felt Fugget About It was a Family Guy clone. Like you said, I felt it was more of a spoof on Sopranos. The more episodes you see, the more characters they parody. As a fan of the Sopranos and an Italian from New Jersey, I thought it was pretty fun and the stereotypes were funny.

Are we just not gonna mention the joke about McCool’s dong? Also, this show is actually really good if you have nothing better to do. It was an amazing binge session and I’d advise anyone else who’s bored to go ahead and watch this

This show was decent and that theme song was a bop. Not every Adult Animated sitcom automatically makes it a Family Guy clone.

This boy missed the point, but honestly he just needs to Fugget about it

Idk why, but when I stumbled across this on RU-vid a few years ago, I got obsessed with it and wouldn't stop watching it... Then I found it on Amazon prime and binged it last week...

As someone who watched the entire show. The characters aren't as one note as you think. Sure Theresa, Petey, and Cheech are pretty basic. But even then they are pretty fun. Petey isn't even just the family punching bag. It's why he is the punching bag that makes him entertaining. He is the only one that actually has a set of morals and is self-righteous. It makes him an interesting vocal point in any episode he is the star of. Jimmy may seem like just the fat dumb dad, but look at the reason why he sold out the rest of the mob. He did it to protect his family. He loves his family and would do anything to protect them. Despite Petey being the punchbag, there are episodes where Jimmy goes out of his way to try and connect with him or help him. Case in point: Jimmy once hired a prostitute to get Petey laid so Petey would get out of his depression. It ended up costing him a whole lot of money, but he kept doing it. Then when everything fails at the end, he has a heart-to-heart with Petey about his struggles. Cookie is more than a struggling mom. She has plenty of moments with her kids and tries to help them with whatever trouble they are going through. And believe it or not, she is an actual mother. She gets upset at Petey for sinning, she grounds Theresa for her slutty behavior, and is doing her best with Gina's violent nature. She has rivalries and genuinely loves Jimmy instead of just being with him for the sake of the status quo. There are a few times when they get into big fights, mainly when Jimmy does something stupid that ruins something special for her. But it ends up being a testament to their love. As Jimmy manages to make it up to her with a big grand act. Now Gina. Again, at first glance she seems like a female Stewie Griffin. And yeah, she is. But unlike Stewie, she doesn't have any baby moments. But she does have some tenderness to her. Like going out of her way to protect Cheech, even though she hates him since he is the reason they are in witness protection. So half of the main characters are one-note, but the other characters are really well fleshed out and make the show interesting. As for the comedy of the show, that is subjective but I like it. I have always been a fan of the riskier humor.

As a Canadian, I definitely remember this show and its.... _Interesting_ sense of humour

Fugget about it has no correlation to family guy a cartoon family doesn’t automatically mean family guy 💀

As someone who used to watch Cyberchase a lot as a kid, hearing the voice of Matt come out of a thick Italian mom is giving me weird feelings.

Cant disagree more Saber, i honestly enjoy this show. Its not high form art but its enjoyable when you binge it. its not bad its not great but its enjoyable.

I think this is a case where Saber's viewpoint is different from most people because he's a critic; critic opinions can sometimes differ from general audiences because they train themselves to measure things on a different scale. That doesn't make his viewpoint any more or less valid than anyone else's: he's just looking at it from the viewpoint of someone who's "seen it all". Like, this show might be enjoyable for most people. Heck, the review even did the opposite of the intended effect for me and made me want to check it out. But it's understandable why Saber would be personally weary of the broader archetypes, because he's taken many deep dives into much worse shows that drag them deeper into the ground. Probably one of his weaker reviews, though, I will agree with that. (Again: it had the exact opposite of the intended effect for me.)

I watched this show on Teletoon when I was younger and I honestly still think it's better than modern Simpsons or Family Guy episodes even at its worst.

"This is Canada sir, I'm arresting you for hurting my feelings" As if Amercian cops don't arrest people who offend them.

"Well, now what?" "We order a pizza, and a therapist" Ok that was actually kind of funny.

Fugget About It is like you took the ending of Goodfellas, mixed in The Sopranos, drizzled in Family Guy, then topped it with all the Canadian, Italian, and mafia stereotypes. And it's very clever! I think it's a cool break from the usual family guy ripoffs. Yeah Jimmy Falcone (Mcdougal) is pretty similar to Peter Griffin, but unlike Peter, Jimmy is a proper dad that wants the best for his kids, loves and stays loyal to his wife, and actually puts in effort where it counts, like getting his GED in one episode, he also protects his eldest daughter Theresa from people that would no doubt exploit her slutty nature, that was actually the reason he threw Don Gambini out the window. And while the son Petey is kind of the family punching bag, everyone wants the best for him, they want him to toughen up to protect himself, gain confidence, and many of his family members are supportive of his actions, even if they see him as a wuss, compared to how the Griffins treat Meg, Petey isn't bullied to the point where he's suicidal like Meg. Gina is like Stewie but she's honestly a lot more interesting because unlike Stewie, she never strayed from her chaotic nature throughout the show's run, she still has childish behavior like she's not good at drawing, she has a teddy bear, she plays hopscotch, she asks her parents about things that she needs advice on, her mom even had to give her a talk on letting something you love go free when Gina befriended a Canadian goose. Cookie is a lot better than Lois, she may have been a stripper before marrying Jimmy but she settled down and hardly ever engages in those types of actions, she's loving and protective of her kids, and she's aware of her little girl's violent tendencies and reins her in when she can. Cheech is kinda like Brian but actually likable, if Cheech replaced Brian in Family Guy, it'd be great. Theresa is just a depraved teenager, but she still has a good heart when it counts, she helps her brother, gets along well with her sister, she's a bit like Elle Woods but not as smart or dedicated to something like law, but she knows how to use her social skills and looks to fix a problem This show had a lot of potential, it deserved better

I actually ended up really liking this show when I stumbled upon it on RU-vid a couple of years back. Ended up watching a couple of episodes after class for I believe a month straight.

As a Canadian, I can definitely say that this show exists.

This show is so great, honestly I think you should give it a second chance

See, the 'vagina' part would be funny if they had it said one time per episode, in some quick-paced dialogue, and never call it out. Let the viewers doubletake at first, before eventually going on egg hunts for that one moment in each episode that it happens, since none of the characters react to it, so it becomes easily missed if you're not looking for it.

You know not every adult animated show about a family is a “family guy ripoff”.

Actually makes me a bit salty that every cartoon reviewer that has ever talked about this show never gave it a fair chance because "oh it looks like family, therefore bad" and pair that with the fact that it's a Canadian show, it isn't given a fair chance. I thought it was an *alright* show, definitely something to just turn your brain off to since the show just feels like dumb fun.

Listen, Saber. As much as I love your content, I think everyone in the comments, myself included, can all agree that you pretty much screwed up this time around. Fugget About It is actually WAY better than every single season of "modern" Family Guy. Rewatch the entire show, and think about what you said the first time around.

Plus, I loved how they displayed the slight differences between American and Canadian cultural differences, especially around guns.🤣 Jimmy getting in trouble with a firearm every now and then was great.😂 And am I the only one who didn’t think these characters were as bland as Saberspark says? I mean yes, they are stereotypes, but their characters still had some distinction.

I have never disagreed with you more than I do now. And this is NOT a "Family Guy Clone".

I don't think it's a clone, It's a loved series about an italian-new York family with actually decent writing and great fan support!

i actually liked Fugget about it, every character had it's own charm

This is like calling a cellphone a television clone. They're similar, but completely different. I love both, but yeah, it does indeed trope on Family Guy in a way.

Holy crap, when you mentioned King of the Hill I, again, realized what a masterpiece that series was and still is.

7:04 "And a therapist" made me choke on my drink.

I’m surprised Family Guy hasn’t made any callouts to blatantly obvious clones like this one, considering the amount of references they make on their show. …Unless I missed something

I can't disagree more with you. Personally I loved it, the show's pretty interesting and has a sense of humor that I love. Also gotta say some stereotypes are pretty nailed [before any knight of justice comes at me calling me a racist, I'm italian (italian italian, not new york italian), it's my god given right to talk about italian stereotypes]

The show honestly had it moments and should’ve focused more on them adjusting to Canada while also trying to occasionally dodge his past from coming back to get him. I think there was only one episode where the mob actually gets someone to try and whack him.

FUGGIN' CRY ABOUT IT!

"I'm arresting you for hurting my feelings" wow that's the most accurate cop I've ever seen in a cartoon

I used to love Fugget About It. It was one of my favourite shows when it was airing, wish it didnt just stopped.

3 or 4 years ago i physically couldn't stop watching it. I never laughed once, I just watched it with a straight face. It was mesmerising I couldn't stop.

I could rant for paragraphs about how this man dunked on this show that i have an emotional attachment to, but honestly, fugget about it.

I remember finding this show on RU-vid when I was really depressed, I just mindlessly binge watched it for hours it was an unforgettable experience

I actually really like this show cause i instantly forget everything that happens so it never gets repetitive

Imagine having your sense of humor shaped by Family Guy.

as a canadian i can confirm we're mostly pretty chill with dirtier, riskier types of jokes. in fact i believe our television networks tend to be way more lenient with censorships than america. for example, both total drama island and 16teen have episodes edited or outright never aired in america, while all were fully aired over here with no changes. also i do remember watching this show. i remember it being pretty fun but that might've been due to the fact i was pretty young and haven't developed much of a taste yet, or because i haven't seen any other family guy clones than this. i have fond memories but looking back i may just look at this show as a guilty pleasure. it's not great, but it's fun if you got nothing else to really watch

I've binged the entire show, honestly I kind of like it as a "I'm gonna shut my brain off and watch this Canadian family guy for a bit" kind of entertainment.

I can just look at the shows art style and think "Family Guy Clone."

I can’t believe Saberspark would talk badly about this show. This is truly a hat crime against the Italian people.

Truth be told I Actually like FUGGET ABOUT IT more than family guy It's a nice feeling of fresh air and funny comedy that doesn't just redo the same old jokes over and over again

I actually really like Fugget about it. They take the theme and run with it instead of pure random bs

"Fugget about it doesn't have legs" That's because the Italian mob broke it with a baseball bat.

Honestly Saber you should try to watch all three seasons. While the show seems like a Family guy rip off with one note characters, it actually had some good stories and subverted tropes, as well as added some layers to other characters. It handled an episode where it was revealed that a relative is trans extremely well, for an adult comedy show with the usual "adult" crass humor.

"It's not cute. It's annoying." Hey, it looks like you two have something in common 😂😂😂

I have to disagree with your statement of it being average, this show is definitely simplistic but it shows so much promise through character interactions and jokes. Sure some jokes can get repetitive but that charm of familiarity with the show and the viewer is what at least made my experience very comfortable with it. So personally I’d categorize this show as pretty good

I actually kinda liked this show alot more than family guy, just because it was on adult swim alot more

If you're interested in Family Guy clones, there's a Spanish one named: "Qué bello es sobrevivir", I think it was never released outside of Spain because it had a lot of references to Spanish humor and politics. In this version, "Stewie" is the grandma, trying to kill his son-in-law. A fun fact is that the main character voice actor is the same we have in Spain for Peter Griffin.

This shit is legit enjoyable, i known it since a few years ago and even consistently watching their 24h stream back when they started it, it's not by any mean better than family guy, but it has it's moment, especially after the first season. I really recommend anyone to give it a try, who know you might enjoy it more than you would expect.

my mom absolutely eats up shows like these for whatever reason, so i actually know a decent bit about this one! it's...honestly not that bad in my opinion. the art style is unique and appealing which is hard to find with these FG clones, and the character interactions are decently funny!

fugget about it is good when you don't have a Mr. Enter in your ear telling you it sucks and is nothing more than a Family Guy clone

With my sick sense of humor, I actually kinda enjoyed it ( it's because of this why I consider Brickleberry/ paradise PD to be guilty pleasures of mine).

I don't know. I don't see it exactly like a Family Guy rip off. Explaining that would be a long essay of an episode. But while I did enjoy the video, and agree on some points you made, I feel you're holding it up to a high standard than it should be - considering you're using King of The Hill as an example in a video about a Family Guy "rip off". So while there are valid points you made, I wouldn't say they deserve being on the same wall of fame as The Prince (a God awful show) and the other one that I shall not name. Fugget About It has some good humor. Some may occasionally come off as forced, but overall they're pretty good with how it relates with their one-note characters and the situation they're in. Not gonna lie, I actually enjoy the Canadian guy. He may be one-note most of the time, but the show has occasions where he goes off-script and can be quite harsh (e.g when he was framed for having sexual relations with the daughter). And theme song is not as bad as you comically put it. It's catchy and fun, including that segment where the characters are gathered in one place and talk before the episode really begins. I think with the "...fugget about it" is one of its own charms. And I wouldn't call the dad stupid like Peter. Sure, he does some stupid things, but much of it is chucked up as ignorance from his time as a mobster. Peter is stupid because of...reasons. And as for the girl and her mom are the closest to a Family Guy rip-off. And even then it seems the girl is less of it. She's not a genius, and she's not scheming to kill a family member (if anything she helps out whenever she's interested). She does show some of the evil tendencies that early seasons Stewie had, but overall she's barely like him. So yeah, I feel you review made it out to be worse than it is. The show could need some reworking like you said. And I don't like everything about it. I would like to see it give more meaning to the one-note characters too. And maybe turn down the sexualizaton when it comes to the other daughter. But I think it's a "ripoff" that did some things better. But hey, if you or anyone made it this far and you disagree with me, then say something or...fugget about it. (Yes, I said it).

I wasn't expecting this. It's something we all "fugget about"

They were thinking if they wanted to air it or not but then they decided "fugget let's do it"

As a Canadian, I remember growing up as a kid watching Teletoon at night with my parents and this show would always pop up. That show makes up part of my childhood.

Yes i thought you would never cover this show Saberspark and i'm happy you have! i loved this show as a teenager it was so freaking hilarous and interesting at the same time, in fact the main plot of it made me wonder what it would be like something like this ever happened to a real life mobster!

Nah not really a rip off and more it's own thing 🤣 would love to see a season 4

It's kind of weird to hear lots of complaints about the show in the script when every clip you show of it actually looks really funny. The thesis statement is basically "this is an uninspired rip off" but instead of convincing me of that, I left the video actually interested in watching the show because every clip you showed looks pretty good. I can't tell if that's because you only showed highlights from the show to make this video more entertaining, or what, but if the show is as unfunny as the script makes it sound like, the video really should have included clips that back this up instead of actually funny ones.

If this show has anything going for it. The theme song is extremely catchy.

I'm glad that this show is getting love because I have a lot of nostalgia for it

I heavily disagree I love it! It’s original and I like the story.

It took me a couple episodes, but I found myself loving this show. The comedy is on point and well timed and the characters get more developed as the show progresses. Also, you totally missed the point with McCool and riding off on his horse. It's not just how he rides off each episode, it's line he says before doing so. The enthusiasm he has for his job and everything he does kills me every time.

I actually like the premise idea! The rough and tough Italian mob in squeaky clean and nice Canada! There is so much potential I feel like! Such a missed opportunity.

Fugget about it is honestly family guy done right. The dad is dumb, but not to the point of being unbelievable like peter. The mom isn't as naggy as a lois or a marge and not nearly as grating to listen to. And Gina may be a murderous psychopath like stewie, but that's where the similarities end. Not to mention the can be funny without relying on obscure references or cutaways.

Ngl I actually kind of laughed at the "You can't arrest me for speeding!" "This is Canada, sir. I'm arresting you for hurting my feelings." Probably would be me as a cop tbh-

The thing is, I actually like it more than Family Guy 😶

Okay but “arresting you for hurting my feelings” was kinda funny lol

it doesn';t need all the things you "think" makes a good show. Thats the beauty of it. It's like junk food, it's just this is very good junk food here.

If you think fugget about it is a Family Guy copy? FUGGET ABOUT IT!!

Shocking how a clone of the Simpsons now has its own herd of clones

7:03 To be fair, this show can be funny at times.

This is not a clone

Alright Saber I have to admit, I watched and enjoyed all of Fugget About it. It was a pretty " Meh " show, like it was something to watch. Entertaining enough to watch when you have nothing better to do, but not great by any means. So yeah I think it's pretty decent and would recommend as a show to watch when bored.

I really like this show, it just makes me happy and I see it as better than Family Guy. Granted me and my dad also find Paradise PD kinda funny on occasion, so I may not be a good person for show suggestions

Ok so, I'm a Canadian from Regina, and honestly, we make that joke all the time. ALL THE TIME. Our radio stations use tag lines like "the city that rhymes with fun" ok. So what you're seeing as an overplayed joke is actually a local cultural trait. I loved this show growing up, but, I will consider your opinion while rewatching it as an adult.

9:11 I’m Canadian… can confirm we do that too

There should be a 10 year ban on using the "Honeymooners/Flintstones" formula for adult animation.

11:28 Mario: "My pingas feels funny"

This is one of better and funnier shows to come along in a while. When I watch this, I don't see a Family Guy parody.
