soo.. Why most North Americans folks hate so much that show, I just saw three episodes in FX yesterday night and I think it's hilarious... sure it's way excessive some times but still hilarious.

Looks like you answered your own question.

oh come on... It can't be that bad.
I mean... you can watch those stupid girls Paris Hilton and the other one in a reality (?) show or the housewife change or something like that and at the same time can't tolerate a single hour of family guy? seriously.. (and I say this knowing not all of North Americans DO watch those shows.. but most of the people sure do, and I'm referring to those ones).
PS:  no intention to be disrespectful to anyone with this.

Just because you're so out of touch with the rest of the world that 99% of the references in the show go over your head  doesn't make it a bad show.  It has many many severely humorous moments.  And you left out Mystique Lois.

Family Guy isn't too excessive either, they don't go overboard like the Will Ferrel movies.

Family Guy was great until it became more about "Remember that time when..." than anything else, and they started recycling gags ad nauseam.  Now it rarely rises above the level of mediocrity.
