I wonder how many times people can use "Suck" in a thread before vBulletin crashes.

Good riddance. Show has always sucked, should have been killed far earlier than the 7th season.

They seem to have fun out of things to reference in cutaways and started trying to make it like the Simpsons instead.

I think it probably should be done.

Great show, hopefully it and American Dad, and South Park, all follow the Simpsons with 20+ seasons.

Not sure if serious. FG was very good for the first 3 seasons and has had some good seasons since they came back but never reached their pre cancellation highs. American dad started out horrible but has now become quit good. I don't see a future for his third show based off of the black guy in FG. Simpsons was solid from about season two or three through about season seven. It really jumped the shark after about season 8 or 9, the only reason it's been on air for 20 years is cause it has become an American cultural icon and people don't want too see that part of it die.

It's been OK ever since it came back from it's initial cancellation.

Better than most comedy shows still I'd say but it was much better before. For one thing it was consistent before. Now it can be VERY good or very very bad :(

You try coming up with good ideas for 10 years straight.

eh its his best show so why would he..that would be stupid. american dad is ok...the other one i don't bother with at all.

he's busy singing and stuff, but while he has the voice i dunno, thats not quite enough, its like an imitation/impersonation of the old timey singing and it has no soul....like elevator music...so i've switched off every time ive tried to watch one of his concert things. its like one of those things good on youtube, to show you can pull it off is impressive, but stretched into a full performance it just is tiresome. he should stick to cartoons.

they should have left it alone after season 3. family guy was great, once they brought it back it was never the same.

Yeah it's time to wrap it up. American Dad is where it's at now. They should also kill the Cleveland Show; absolutely horrible.

I'm guessing he wants to put FG to rest so he can focus more on American Dad and the Flintstones.

Need to end all of the Sunday Animation Domination shows right now. American Dad was the only good one left and they end it for this "Allen Gregory" shit. Any one watch that crap last night? Bob's Burgers wasn't great but it was watchable, this show is already terrible.

The Cleveland show should have never been, Simpsons should have been gone a long time ago, and Family guy should also have been gone by now

Over the hill simply because most shows at its 7-9th season get REALLY OLD no matter how hard you try.

I was also glad to hear House is on its last season.

YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH!!! :( :( :(

I think because Lisa Edelstein quit had a lot to do with it.
