patiirc Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 BBC Link confiming Seth McFarlane, wished the show should have ended after series 7 Â I thought this may provoke some discussion and hadnt seen it listed anywhere. Â Do people agree with Mr McFarlane and would rather the series go film based or do they want it to continue? Â FWIW Im not overly keen, Ill watch it on BBC 3 but they appear to show the same eps over and over again to the point of tedium. Im not really bothered what happens to it either way. However, im guessing people will think differently to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insert_name_here Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 My only worry is that Seth's gonna move all the Family Guy writers onto American Dad and ruin that as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 My only worry is that Seth's gonna move all the Family Guy writers onto American Dad and ruin that as well  Yeah but do they have the facilities to house that many Manatees in one location?

carolann Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 He's right - it probably should have ended a while ago. But he also goes on to say that if he has ever brought it up people go pale at the prospect. So i dont think it'll end any time soon. Â The Simpsons hasn't been particularly funny either for the past few years - certainly not since the film came out at least. I actually make Mr B sky plus them and watch them after I go to bed - I hate it that much. But as long as theres an audience to hear the same jokes once a week then they'll keep making them.

Paid Members Azrall Posted October 14, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted October 14, 2011 I'm a big fan of family guy and American Dad. I wouldn't be overly distraught though if it were to end...I mean, that's what DVD boxed sets are for. I'd rather it be funny and be cancelled rather than get as stale as the simpsons has.

Paid Members LaGoosh Posted October 14, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted October 14, 2011 I disagree. I think seasons 8 and 9 were miles better than season 7 and some of the funniest and most inventive stuff Family Guy has done yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big mickey Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Oh no! Â I haven't been this upset since -insert name here- went onto -insert show here- Â Family Guy jumped the shark as they say, around season 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Freebird Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Seth just heard the Simpsons story from earlier this week and wanted his staff to take a 70% pay cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Foale Posted October 14, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted October 14, 2011 I wouldn't be distraught if Family Guy was to end, and judging by the sentiments of MacFarlane it seems that they're really scraping the barrel for new ideas/gags for it. I still like Family Guy and continue to buy all the new DVD's but it really isn't that funny anymore. I honestly believe it would have been one of the most highly regarded cult comedy shows if it never had been resurrected after Season 3 though.

Paid Members FLips Posted October 14, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted October 14, 2011 Family Guy is better now than it has been for a while, but even then it's really watchable. Sure it's not the most sophisticated or hilarious comedy, but it's far better than South Park, The Simpsons or The Cleveland show are these days.

Paid Members LaGoosh Posted October 14, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted October 14, 2011 The murder mystery double episode from season 9 is probably the best animated comedy show episode in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cum Doctor Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I thought that episode was horrible. I thought the season was pretty good from that point onwards though. The Halloween episode was brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â But nowhere near as funny as Bob's Burgers, i've been championing that to a few people as it went by unknown due to Channel 4 playing it at stupid o'clock and most seem to agree that it's the best adult cartoon out at the moment.

Doesn't have much bearing on the FG discussion, but since the South Park thread's died a death I thought I'd mention it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
