Cancel Family Guy?



Have you watched Family in recent years? Have you seen just how painfully awfully the show has become? It took The Simpsons like 15 years to get unbearable stale, and yet Id argue the last season of the Simpsons is better than the last season of Family Guy. So what happened to Family Guy? It used to be so fresh, so hilarious, so entertaining. Then they got a new budget, made production faster and the comedy took a hit (Remember Spongebob after the new production?). Its as if Seth Mcwhateverhisnameis just stopped caring. They've slaughtered the characters development and just thrown in the towel completely with Stewie and Brian. I think its time this show go, and it can take the Cleveland Show with it. I wonder if Seth has anything to do with American Dad as it has only got better since seasons three.

I know the target audience for Family Guy is probably 12 year old boys with an under-appreciated sense of humor, but wow. I feel like I've seen there gags on school buses; elementary! At some point every show dries up, but this is starting to feel like that last season of Roseanne or My Name Is Earl, when it was clear everyone involved didn't know or didn't care what the fuck was going on just winged it; to embarrassing results. Just kill it off already.
