Casualty of Fall: Family Guy

Yes this is an outcome that has been foreshadowed for months, I'm dropping Family Guy. After returning from cancellation, Family Guy returned to Fox and was a fresh of breath air. Now a few years later its clear the show offers nothing but stale farts. I thought the random pop culture references were running thin last season but this season they are just relentlessly bad. Perhaps its because Seth McFarlane is spread too thin with Family Guy, the horribly bad American Dad, and the soon to premiere spin off that no one asked for, Cleveland. Maybe its just time to bring in fresh blood to the writing room. More likely though its just that there's only so many Rick Astly, Boba Fett, and Doc Brown references we can take.

On a side note that's 3 shows I've dropped so far this year while I've only added one in Fringe. 24, Lost and Dollhouse can't get here soon enough!
