How to get my parents to let me watch these TV shows!?

Ok, so I'm a 13 year old guy and I want to watch shows like... Family Guy, The Simpsons, American Dad, Cleveland Show, etc... How do I get my parents to let me watch those? My parents let me watch King of the hill but not those? They say they are not child friendly but they don't know that I know about most of the things they talk about on there and I'm no longer their innocent child anymore. PLEASW help!

    If you're 13 you shouldn't be watcing those...but then again I was watching South Park at 10. Do like I do and use your computer to watch them when your parents don't know. There are lots of sites:

    and of course my favorite:

    My group of friends ran home after school to watch American Bandstand daily. It was such great fun. My sister was five years older and bought all those 45s and we would go to the basement-my dad had finished off half of it-and play the music on on new 45 record player and sing along (a lot of Everly Brothers). I know we drove my dad nuts and every once in awhile he would yell downstairs for us to tone it down and turn that cr*p down. We had found their old record collection and would put on How Ya Gonna Keep 'Em Down on the Farm by Spike Jones full blast on the old player and he would yell down, OK I got it and we would go back to our music. But while I developed my love of rock n roll, my sister would play the piano and I would sing and she did a lot of 40s and 50s music and older. I'm glad I got to learn all of that too because there was some truly beautiful music she used to play and to this day I still love Hoagey Carmicheal and its hard to beat Star Dust and Deep Purple for music and lyrics. I lived in St. Louis then and there was a club I always wanted to go to but my parents wouldn't let me. That's where Tina Turner got her start. Sorry to have missed her but I caught a lot of her later at SIU concerts. They also wouldn't let me go to the Splatter Platter parties at the Highlands (by the pool at the amusement park) but they would let me go to the Ozark Theater in Webster Groves on Friday night. It was a teen hangout and noone could ever hear the show. That was great fun. . .
