Family Guy vs the Network 

I'm so glad you mentioned that Seth stopped working on the show. It always annoyed me whenever Seth gets the blame for all the bad jokes that the newer seasons put out when he's only really there just to do the voices now. Anyways great video.

As much as I would hate to say this, I feel bad for Seth, because I can tell he wants to work on something else other than just Family Guy, and American Dad

I wonder if that episode where Brian pitches his drama script to Fox and they turn it into a shitty sitcom was Seth's way of venting his frustration at what Fox did to his original idea for Family Guy.

How to prevent your show becoming a Family Guy, Simpsons, Fairly Odd Parents, SpongeBob SquarePants, Drawn Together: If the won’t let you end it, kill them

This was depressing. This is the reason why trying to kill off a legacy show like this doesn’t work. Even if you decide to orchestrate a crew wide walk-off they will still order new episodes and just hire different people to take over your old position. But hey, that’s just how businesses work.

Not to mention all the pot shots the show takes at Bob's Burgers, but unlike what South Park did, it comes off as much more salty. Not only is BB the better show imo, but it's also beaten them in ratings. And I hate how people will cling to dinosaur legacy franchises. "B-but they made this one good thing, so we have to save them!" ... No we don't.

When it comes to Family Guy, the first three seasons are my favourites. When the show came back after its second cancellation, the quality was gradually declining. Gone was the witty jokes and crude yet expressive animation. It was now replaced with: - Padded jokes (Either by the writers falling in love with the gag or dragging it out save on animation). - Surface level offensive jokes that are there only to shock. - Flanderised characters. - Political/social satire that came off as one sided and talked down to the viewer (The Not All Dogs Go To Heaven episode is a good example of this). - No understanding of a subject they want to talk about (Transgender topics and Domestic Abuse). - Animation that’s stiff and copy & paste. - Grossing the audience out than making it laugh. - Bitterness at other shows success (After a decently written gag, they ruin it with Peter getting angry that the audience would laugh at it if it was on Modern Family). - Adopting a story structure similar to what The Simpsons devolved into (Having a first act that doesn’t tie into the second). It’s these reasons that made me stop watching. At this rate, the show has become the ending to Cronenberg’s The Fly; a mangled creation that’s begging for someone to put a bullet in its head.

Something I noticed with Family Guy is, that the show later relies way too much on parodying the works of others: Other films, other shows, other stories, other characters (they are using the Simpsons characters a lot for their jokes in recent seasons), commercials, meme culture, etc. You can say about the newer Simpsons episodes whatever you want, but at least they have enough creativity left to at least come up with their own stories. Family Guy is way too dependent on other people's work.

I would really like to see an American Dad version, as Fox screwed that show so badly, to the point that TBS had to pick up the show for more episodes.

Would you ever consider covering The Oblongs in some capacity? I LOVE Adult Swim animation and this show lives like a fever dream in my subconscious. I can't really find it to watch and none of the other animation/creepy type channels I follow have ever mentioned it. Love your Moral Orel and Drawn Together vids!

“Take a tip take a lesson you’ll never win by messin’ with the fellas at the freakin FCC”

Honestly your video is certainly much more watchable and fun compared to enter who complained about Seth being a awful writer.

The only issue with modern loud house is unrealistic plot lines. How do you go from typical sitcom shenanigans to plots about Time Machines. It's so stupid. I love fantastical plots as much as the next guy but in the right show.

You do make a great point about shows that are disrespected by big companies. Keep up the good work.

It’s funny you mention SpongeBob because when the NickToons episode of this series came out last year, I originally thought it was going to be all about that. However, to my surprise, it wasn’t, but rather every show that Nickelodeon screws over with. Even now, I still had no idea that Nickelodeon was that scummy of a network.

I remember a RU-vidr (can't remember the name) literally showed the math on how most of family episodes is just cutaways now and I think even a writer said that all they focus on now is said cutaways

Wanna see Seth Mcfarlane's real work? Watch the Orville.

I actually think the constant disturbin jokes started off as more of a test. Almost like kids being destructive to get a reaction from their parents, or just testing the limits of how much they can get away with.

You need to do one for Final Space and what WarnerMedia is doing to it. It needed to be talked about and why it's important for creators to get the rights for their shows back.

I'm glad that you analogy that Seth McFarlane doesn't write any episodes of family guy unlike what mr enter said

The problem with shows that copy family guys is that family guys was always about offending people

Sometimes I forget Family Guy wasn't an overnight hit in those first few seasons, because I grew up watching it on adultswim and whatever channel happened to be airing it at the time. I just can't believe there was a point in time where Family Guy had as much staying power as "Told By Ginger." It seems like they're trying to do more story driven episodes recently and less cutaway gags with the most recent season, but I could be wrong.

It got cancelled once in 2002 and I think it did a few other times

Simpsons belongs to Disney now

Congratulations on 23K!

It's like Family Guy saw an episode of "Happy Tree Friends" and thought "meh, I can top that." And that's what they've been trying for decades.

This is why I watch American Dad and The Cleveland Show than Family Guy.

Exactly! Even non Family Guy fans say that the first 3-4 seasons are much better.

Compare a show like Family Guy to something like Fawlty Towers: John Cleese only made 12 episodes over two seasons because he didn't want to run the show into the dirt. If more American shows had the same mentality, a lot of them would probably be better remembered as all-time classics. But no, the show's only worth ending when the people stop watching altogether... or they're making the show that the network *wants* to be a hit look bad

the show should have stopped after season 7

4:48 You mean a Lifetime movie? I don't think _Hallmark_ Channel makes that kind of stuff.

I used to like the show, but I don’t really like it that much anymore. Everyday I keep seeing people complain about the character of Peter Griffin and his crimes throughout the show. If I ever become a movie director and writer, I would do a Family Guy movie where Peter dies at the end after coming into blows with the main villain. It’s a stretch and a bit barbaric, but hey, it’s giving the fans what they want, right?

I'm starting to think that having a show to be continuously fresh would mean to bring in continuity, When characters don't age and learn their lessons a show can become stale as it keeps reusing plots and it gets redundant. If a show's universe ages in real time with us then you can create more conflicts and scenarios and it'll be mostly fresh. Take that away and you get Family Guy, a show that wants to die because they don't know what else to do as everything been done

You should do South Park or Gravuty Falls in terms of censorship

Love your channel man

I love the first 3 seasons. I can watch them over and over

I’m not gonna lie, but part of that quote from 12:32 to 12:42 is especially well said. Take a look at Gravity Falls for example. Alex Hirsch originally wanted to end the show after one season, but then decided to not only have it continue with a second one, but end it that way as well with a proper grand finale. Another good example is the Amazing World of Gumball. Back on September 6th, 2016, just five days after the first episode of season 5 came out, it was reported that season 6 would be the last season for Ben Bocquelet to work on, which meant that the show could continue on without him. However, in October of 2018, Ben reaffirmed that statement by saying that season 6 would officially be the end of the show. The reason I bring those two shows up is because the creators of them were on board from beginning to end, hoping to make sure they wouldn’t lose their identities. If that happens, they’ll start to go through seasonal rot.

I outgrew family guy. I outgrew a lot of adult animation as well as current media in general. I love the golden era of the 70s and early 80s for films and adult animation when the world wasn't as complicated as it is now.

While I respect your opinion on not liking the show, I do believe that people seeing Family Guy as nothing but shock value, has been an over-generalization of the series for years that has personally become tiring. Keep in mind, even as a fan of the series, I dislike episodes such as "Herpe the Love Sore" and "Seahorse Seashell Party", but those episodes are more than a decade old, and I do not see Family Guy as the same show it was then. Surprisingly, this recent season has had a decrease in cutaways and gore. I agree the show has become different in many ways, but I don't believe it's entirely bad, even to this day. For those who have seen more recent episodes, and still don't like the show, that's more than fine. Despite my differing opinion, keep up the good work, man.

Actually there is something you can do about it, just change the channel. If you see a show you like go through what Family Guy is going through then it's not worth giving your attention to.

I think this show should be called Zombie Guy.

if isn't for terrible things they do to shock the audience, maybe also be the boring and overly long jokes or the segway to Conway Twitty

I honestly think it's unfair to badmouth The Loud House, at least with that show, it has a large number of likeable characters that would progress over time and they have morals to balance the zany antics. Please DON'T do a Loud House vs the Networks, I cannot take any more internet bias!

If I’ll be honest, it’s not just TV shows that people wouldn’t expect to be big hits, it’s with stuff in general. Movies are another example. Take a look of what happened to the Ice Age series. Just like what they did to Family Guy, the heads at Fox were the only ones that wanted more of it but the people at Blue Sky didn’t. Or, I hate to use this as an example, but look at VeggieTales Abridged. In a weird way, the rabbid fans were like the big studio heads who only wanted you to do VTA and nothing else. It may not be the best comparison, but I hope you understand. The way I see it, the creator of anything they make are the ones who should decide whether or not they want to keep something going. They shouldn’t let big businesses do it for them, otherwise they’ll have everything they’ve worked so hard be taken away from them.

Family guy vs the network more like everyone and Seth macfarlane himself vs family guy

Just hire John K as showrunner. That'll get it canceled real quick.

If I Pitch a Show I'm Having it on guys like Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, and Disney+ never on the network

A lot of ppl actuly like the Last Like 5 seasons of Family Guy or the Simpsons an Thing Family Guy has but the Simpsons or south Park dont have IS tik tok

Even though I’m not a Family Guy fan, I’ll admit its earlier seasons were fine (I don’t love them, I don’t hate them) since the characters were still likable, they didn’t go overboard with cutaway gags, and Meg was not a punching bag. It’s the post-revival seasons that keep me from enjoying it (that and the fact that I think it’s only pushing buttons just for the sake of doing so).

You know what about American Dad Seth MacFarlane other show other then The Cleveland Show I don't see a lot of people complaining about that and I wanna what's your thoughts on it

I mostly knew of family guy because of adult swim

Heck I Like Johnny bravo more then Family guy Seth MacFarlane worked on both but I prefer Johnny Bravo More

In my defense in terms of the comment at the end, I wrote that comment BEFORE I got to the closing sketch.

This is why I don’t wanna do anime shows

Finally caught up!

Honestly. 8:37 I think they are a close second to Teen Titans Go

As a person who hates family I agree the network doesn't care how bad it's getting and sonce you mentioned Mr.Enter I'm surprised you didn't take his quote from his 2010s decade video about new family guy tanks the older stuff because it does. It's like this you want to talk about Brian and Stewie's friendship you can't because of the f'up episode of pregnant stewie, Peter's mental state NOPE he knows what he's, Meg is just a human toilet for her family negative and ect. this show has 0 redeeming characters outside of those who Permanently dead aka those were voice by Carrie Fisher and Adam West.

Heck Bob's Burgers is way Funnier then FG

4:22 that’s tripping the rift not tipping

What about Futurama didn't that show got canceled the same family guy did by getting screw over by fox

Could you Kim Possible, Teen Titans, or The Spectacular Spiderman

"Breather for a few years." That's not how it works. When a show stops production, everyone leaves and gets new jobs. They then have to re staff. *Source:* Why Phineas and Ferb ended The second dimension.

I watch Family guy Un ironically I hate the Show Now but I did Like the Songs Like Family guy's version of the Rose

Make a Teen Titans Go vs The Network video

I would come up with a funny and original comment, but nothing seems to come to mind. Guess I got what it takes to become a Family Guy writer now.

Please do Pokémon vs the network!

Read contracts.

Well thanks for not sperging out at Seth. All Seth does is do the voices and sing. It's basically a free check/ fun time for him. Lol

I never understood why soo many people mindlessly love this show nowadays

Mrs fraslfr my teacher name

I’m Happy BentheLooney changed his opinion on Family Guy in my Opinion Family Guy is a mixed Bag now

Do Total Drama!!

Johnny bravo is way more Funnier then Family guy Family guy sucks Now

who prefers the later seasons rather than the earlier seasons

I think it comes down to taste. For an example, you like dilbert but I haven't laughed more than once out of 3 episodes. Yet I watch the first 2 seasons of family guy and it's just about flawless. Plus I love baby blues it's a really good show! Yet you ragged on that one as well. Idk man you seem to like the bland dry comedy 😂😂

Season 1 though season 11 were the good shows. The season were good and some bad ones but good.

Family guy is still funny you can't change my mind

I love family guy so much

This is something that should have ended after Season 3. But Fox won't let.

I cringe someone says "Family Guy is still funny" do they refer to the show's genius efforts in comedy or something? No they just refer to extremely random out of nowhere moments or cutaways, strip those out of contention and just then what do you have? Earlier seasons before the late 2000s had quality, they had purpose and thought out ideas. Now Brian and Stewie are uwu adorable together milk their episodes aaah. Have Meg and Chris be utterly worthless tumors, and make Peter and Lois the worst characters challenge all the damn time. I get the people behind the show don't care, but for the love of god a job is a job do the damn thing you're supposed to do or give the torch to people that can ffs.

I adore Family Guy but can't stand South Park. One show is actually funny and the other is preachy and annoying. Family Guy puts multiple jokes in their episodes. South Park picks a topic and repeats the same few jokes. They have a bad habit of running jokes into the ground.

Family Guy sucked.

M

You should talk about bob burger getting bad

I like Family Guy now.

I like it ☺️

the Simpsons is the most overrated show ever
