"It's bullshit that Family Guy got cancelled. Television always kills great shows."

I'm posing that as a question but it's not really a question, more of a statement really, so you don't have to answer or anything.

Most of Fox's shows turn to poo poo eventually and the only "good" ones are the shows that get cancelled before they reach that point. See also Firefly and the fact that they cancelled it after only half a season kind of indicates how quickly you have to cancel a Josh Weadon show to keep him from making GBS threads it up

The one where Quagmire raped Marge until she loved him, then murdered the Simpsons?

family guy is actually a really good show but referencing it is not funny.

That's pretty much every show on tv though.

When you think about it Family Guy had the same career arc as Spongebob


Really funny show that debuted in 1999
Went off the air in the early 2000s, came back in 2005 and turned to poo poo immediately


suprising similarities imo almost creepy

Yep, after three seasons. Last episode didn't air until Cartoon Network picked it up because Antisemitism (I remember some people claiming Jews killed Family Guy). It had a cult following online for a time, and then they brought it back and here we are.

While it was off the air two of the writers made another cartoon show called 3 South that was pretty funny, mostly because it only had a single season, as is the fate of most animated shows on MTV. I think Bordertown is supposed to be its spiritual sequel but I don't know I haven't seen it.
