Or use the guns that are lying around (stops internal combustion) how does that work?

Through a very loose suspension of disbelief?

Also, there was some kind of primitive OS with a chat algorithm on that retarded magic USB thing (my mom watched the first episode the other day and I was in the room, so I kinda paid half attention).

There's so many problems with the entire thing.  First of all, the computer boots way too fast (and seems to work surprisingly well for so much implied non-use.  Secondly, if the laws of physics somehow magically change to keep electricity from working save for some ridiculous phlebotom thingy, then why the fuck does the network infrastructure somehow...function?

Goddamn, this show makes no fucking sense.

Ammo is probably rather scarce 15 years after manufacturing ceased. It makes perfect sense that people use something with more readily available ammo for everyday use.

The Simpsons went through the same thing, except they weren't strong right out of the gate. It took a season or two to get good, then the good run lasted like 8 or 9 years.
When would you say the show went to hell? I have enjoyed it up until at least Season 10. Seasons 11-15 did have some good episodes in my opinion. Now it's just mediocre at best. Definitely showing it's age. I still like to collect the box sets though.

The Simpsons went to shit right around when Family Guy started becoming popular.

Scrap iron/steel would be quite easy to find and bolts can be made by hand with simple tools. Bullets, not so much.

I personally think Family Guy has gone to shit as well. The first 3 seasons were the best. Even Season 4 and 5 were good. Season 6 however made me start to lose interest and Season 7 was the last straw for me. Now I mainly watch South Park instead. It's SO much funnier in my opinion.

Ironically, there's only two things I find funny about South Park.

1. OH MY GOD THEY KILLED KENNY!

2. Michael Jackson's nose falling off

Other than that, the show was tired loooooooong before today.

Family Guy still has a few bright points... the episode where Meg takes a level in badass after a 6 month stint in prison and finally gets payback on Peter for all his abuse, for one, and the episode where Stewie and Brian are stuck in the bank vault that results in a very frank discussion about suicide and the resulting aftermath? That one gets to me too.

Touche. I didn't think of the scrap metal.

With all the bitching I've heard about Revolution I expected it to be utter crap, but it really wasn't that bad. Sure it some silliness to it, like batteries dying right away. But that's not anything new, tv shows and movies constantly misrepresent and over simplify science and technology. I'd say that the show certainly isn't groundbreaking in any way, it has the potential to be a decent show, and I can certainly think of far worse shows to waste an hour on.

The bank vault episode was one the last episodes I watched and enjoyed.

I hate Revolution. It feels way too much like a ripoff of the Emberverse series, which are my favorite modern novels, hands down. Now, even if it's not a ripoff, it makes me mad, because now an actual film or television adaptation of the Emberverse is impossible. It'd just look like a Revolution ripoff.

Which sucks. Because HBO would nail that shit.
