no offense, but i really don't see the Scrubs/Family Guy comparison at all

None taken, here is my thought process:

Family Guy= lots of random humor (like peter fighting a chicken for no reason or what have you), do you agree with this?
Do you agree that you can most likely miss an episode of family guy and see the next one without being confused?

Scrubs= lots of random humor, JD's dream sequences, "Zoom Zoom", Janitor and other random phrases etc. While scrubs has more developments than family guy, rarely will you need to watch an older episodes of scrubs to get the new episode, do you agree?

Shows like 24, Prison Break, etc. if you miss one episode, you are behind and confused most likely, and must watch the older episode to get the newer one.

Would you agree with what i have written so far?

not really...a lot of the jokes in Scrubs build on each other over the course of multiple shows in a way i don't think Family Guy ever does. example: a lot of them rely on the relationships between characters (i don't imagine Ted is nearly as awesome if you're new to things)

i can't think of any Family Guy jokes that rely on previous episodes

plus, you know, the shows have completely different tones.
