Family Guy

I just bought the 1st and 2nd season of the Family Guy. That show is really friggin funny. Why did fox cancel that show? Sometimes I think Fox hates teh funnay. They canceled both the Family guy and the Andy Ricter show, both of wich where the funniest thing I had seen on TV in a long, long time.

Family Guy reruns are still on Cartoon Network at 11:00 Monday-Thursday. Couldn't tell you what season they're from though. And yes, Fox did make a rather large mistake in cancelling it.

They were gettin the hell sued out of 'em.


Edit: Oh yeah, and I steal my friend's DVDs once in a while.

Who was sueing them and why?

Family Guy is one of the only worthwhile TV shows anymore.

family guy is the show everyone loved but fox didnt keep and andy ricter was the shit. i was thinking about it during some class.

There's a long list of good shows that Fox has cancelled. Family Guy, Titus, The Andy Richter Show the list goes on. No one really knows why although I prefer the simple explination of Fox simply having some really dumb executives /shrug

*Edit*What was that about Fox getting sued over Family Guy?

[Mr1337Duck]

I heard they insulted all of those people, and some of them decided to sue.

Wouldn't work. It's damn hard to prove slander and satire, which Family Guy obviously was, wouldn't even come close. It'd be like trying to sue Jay Leno for making fun of people in his monologe. I could see Fox caving just so they could avoid having to pay the lawyers, but considering how good the show was and the potential for merchandising it'd be hard to see.

Even if nobody would sue Fox over Family Guy, Fox probably feared losing viewers if any of the "I can't wait for Touched By An Angel and 7th Heaven to come on because my cable is out and I can't watch movies on Lifetime while sitting my fat ass on the couch eating junk food, content in my own pure little world" didn't like it.

As if the world needs more people like that. People need to get a thicker skin these days and stop being such crybabies.

I can resume this in one stupid comic.
