Jesus. After watching these past two episodes of Family Guy, I don't know what I was doing hoping that Family Guy would get better. And then, to top it off, The Cleveland Show and American Dad are just embarrassing for him that this was like his premiere Sunday after last weeks hour long boring train...
Seth, you're not going to be The Simpsons, please, if Family Guy makes it to 22 seasons, you must really have that much control over FOX. Your social commentary will never be anything compared to South Park. Sorry, but no one cares about Rush enough for you to not really make fun of him. And your songs? They're. Not. Good. You epic failed that song about down syndrome. I understand that nothing is off limits, but an episode dedicated entirely to that with a song? It's not funny. You're not funny. Get. Over. Yourself. A song about Republicantown? Everyone gets that you hate republicans. At least South Park comments on both sides of an issue instead of endlessly attacking one side. Do you think your show influences the way people think? Iiiiiiit doesn't.
(Keep in mind that it doesn't take me much to laugh at a TV show.)
Okay, one positive thing you did recently? Killed off a bunch of characters and it stuck (there's a new female anchor). Wait, didn't you then have murder be a huge theme throughout the American Dad episode by breaking the 4th wall and having the audience count how many people die drawing the audience into the action. Oh! Then you also did that in the premiere of The Cleveland Show by having a "live" (oh, yeah, we get the joke right away, its live but it's a cartoon. That joke was funny for... 2 seconds. ) episode, which lasted the entire 30 minutes. It ended up like SNL with everyone on the stage saying good-bye, with a dead Julia Roberts who had just gone through a string of saying the titles of her movies while trying to make it fit into the scene (a technique used in horrible sketch comedy and old sitcoms). Juila Roberts died and so did Seth MacFarlane's short lived reign of comedy.
