Should have never canceled King of The Hill for this garbage. Family Guy isn't funny anymore, King of The Hill is a really creative show, I guess most people didn't get it, they prefer a cruder form of humor.

I'd have to agree on the fact that Family Guy isn't that funny anymore, it's gone downhill lately, this always happens with TV shows, they find out what characteristics of a character the audience finds funny and they just exaggerate them, like Peter being extremely stupid to the point that he's now classified as mental handicapped, and with Stewie being gay.

I still like Family Guy, but I have no interest in a spinoff. Two Seth MacFarland shows on Fox is more than enough for me, thanks.

Yep, I'm a die hard Simpson's fan, but it has definitely fell off the last decade or so, I really don't even bother to watch it anymore, it should have gone off the air awhile ago.

The problem with Family Guy, and I'm a huge fan, is the blatant politicizing of the episodes for the last 10 or 12 episodes (started mid-last season).

I can deal with Seth McFarlane being a raving lunatic liberal, he played it funny, and light-hearted until about middle of last season. Once he ramped up the "message" of the show it got annoying.

back when season 3 started he made a point the show would never have a "message", or any kind of moral closure at the end of the episode. Now it's like he intentionally goes out of the way to make some kind of liberal point in each episode it is annoying.

I can't imagine what the Cleveland show will try and do, but I don't look forward to it, I don't even watch American Dad as that started as Seth's subliminal message outlet for making fun of conservatives real quick... I haven't watched in I don't know how long.

Why did they change Cleveland's kids?  Didn't he have that 1 hyper-active boy the first few seasons?  Now he has 3 kids VERY similar to the Griffin family.  A fat boy, toddler/baby, daughter.

I've really started to turn off Family Guy.  Just not really funny anymore.  Like Meatwad said, why are they still making the Simpsons?  Beyond Season 10 is pretty much a waste in watching.

Good to see they put some thought into making new characters for the show.

I mean, they have the same facial expressions and anything. It looks like a black Griffin family.
