Shameful... Family Guy was there to fill the void of the ever-declining humor of the Simpsons (although some of the most recent episodes have been near the old quality)

Would be great if UPN picked it up, if not... it's been semi-cancelled before. Hope for the best.

How come whenever a TV show gets canceled, there is a group of people who feel the need to say "good". Like that show was somehow affecting their daily life. Were you getting cancer because that show was on the air?

I like Family Guy. I really hope it can find a home somewhere.

Too bad. I really liked this show.

This is what happens when you constantly move a show around in the timeslots. They constantly tinker with the timing during the critical early months, thus never allowing the show the opportunity to build a steady audience and then point to the ratings as if there was any other possible outcome.

NBC sort of did the same thing with 3rd Rock from the Sun which was one of my favorite comedies in recent years. "Let's move it to Tuesday. No wait, Thursday. No, no. How about Wednesday? Or maybe Saturday? No, no. Let's try Sunday. How about Tuesday?"
