Since when was family guy cancelled?

 

EDIT: Futurama is worse than this team.

 

 

Family Guy was cancelled from 2002-2005.

 

It ran from 1999-2002, but there were a lot of disagreements with Fox, and Fox basically changed their time and day and when viewer ratings went down (since nobody knew when it was on) they used those numbers to justify cancelling the show. (Same happened with Futurama, and both shows have moved to other channels, Family Guy to Cartoon Network, Futurama to Comedy Central, and both shows still take shots at Fox to this day)

 

In addition, it was the DVD sales that brought Family Guy back. It was the Comedy Central Viewership that brought Futurama back.

 

Futurama was cancelled from 2003-2008, but in 2008-2009 they made 4 movies rather than episodes, and they didn't resume making episodes until this past year.

 

My point is that I'd have cancelled South Park well before cancelling Family Guy and Futurama. Especially because I feel like the worst South Park episodes were the early ones, whereas the best Family Guy and Futurama episodes were the earlier ones.

When you find the answer let me know please.

 

the worse, still in the 2nd hole...is it all about that commercial with Francona or what?

I agree about Futurama and Family Guy. Family Guy has gotten sort of bad. The writing was awesome when it first started. I just liked old South Park better because it was fresh' date=' now it just seems like they try to hard and go overboard[/quote']

 

Writing was awesome? Come on now, Family Guy is mindless drivel with cheap jokes. Its funny, don't get me wrong, but well-written?

But Francona will give him props for battling and keeping the team close into the late innings. f*** that. I don't think this guy will be on the active roster at the end of his contract.

 

Seriously. I hope he isn't. He has not lived up to expectations at all. At this point I doubt he ever will.

 

 

 

 

A-Gon is just incredible.

My favourite thing about the old Family Guys was how Stewie was so articulate and well spoken. If you've seen a few early episodes you'll know what I mean. Now he just makes a bunch of gay jokes and references. Plus insert Giant Chicken and Conway Twitty references. I still think it's way better than South Park, but they've both gone downhill.

 

I hated the last season of South Park (aside from the Jersey Shore episode) and I hated the first two episodes of this season. Apparently this new episode is about the Royal Wedding though, so hopefully it goes well.

 

I've also been saying since before the new season started that South Park needs to do a Charlie Sheen based episode, but thus far they haven't been listening.

Getting taken yard by John McDonald is extremely embarrassing.

During it's first run it had good writing. Some jokes we're subtle or were things that only some people would get. Once they brought it back it got worse and worse.

I think the first few seasons (before it got cancelled) were well written. After it got revived it went in a more South Park direction in the sense that it went for more mass appeal, inappropriate jokes, and nixed the witty satirical nature and cynical verbose nature of Stewie and replaced it with a vibrantly homosexual version.

Ortiz and AGon need to be batting back to back until Youk's bat shows some consistent life. Pedroia needs to be dropped to the bottom third of the order until he emerges from his funk. Crawford should be in the 2 hole.

lol if only there wasn't a rule about not being able to bat him 9 times in the lineup and use "ghost baserunners"

 

And maybe have him in the rotation :lol:
