Family Guy & American Dad

*JameO* · 03-31-2005, 03:25 PM

Just decided to start a discussion on the two shows made by Seth MacFarlane. Both coming back on May 1st on Fox at 9 PM EST. 1 hour to remember for sure. So go on and start worshiping the ground this man steps on.

An album coming out in April with original songs made by the voice actors. Pretty facking sweet. They have one song on there that you can listen to and see what kind of gold is on that cd.

Ancient freakin' topic, but I figured it'd be better than making a new one.

Tonight, Family Guy did something I never would have thought they'd actually do.

Spoiler:

How odd. Makes me think the show might be coming to an end soon. How many more seasons did Fox renew it for?

*Wildcat* · 11-25-2013, 01:15 AM

Theres alot of topics over this on IMDb. I love Family Guy but tonights episode was very depressing.

Alot of people say he isn't gone for good and there are future episodes about him for the plots. I don't read up on future episodes or news so it was a big surprise to me.

I don't think he's gone for good either. They can somehow have Stewie rebuild his time-machine or something. Plus its just too big of an upset to do for real.

Someone mentioned it could be gag like when Lois was killed or that the car that ran him over was driven by an alternate Stewie and Brian from other timelines.

Holy crap...

One wonders if we'll get Brian 2.

They've kept The Simpsons going for many years, even after many people have complained that it's gone downhill. Probably they'll keep any of their programs going as long as people keep watching them, and not really worry about quality.

*BubblyShell22* · 11-25-2013, 08:50 AM

Whoa, seriously? I didn't watch it because I didn't want to. Damn. He could come back though or they can get a Brian 2 like they did for the many Snowballs on The Simpsons. I don't like FG anymore after they got rid of Cleveland. Since then, I don't watch it.

*blindturtle02* · 11-25-2013, 09:50 AM

Didn't see this coming. Wow. I've not watched Family Guy or American Dad since college. I've actually fallen back in love with The Simpsons. I did watch both of these quite a bit but suppose I somehow lost touch over the last 5 years or so.

*Ninjinister* · 11-25-2013, 10:24 AM

They actually got a new dog named Vinnie.

The difference is a lot of Seth's shows are ending. The Cleveland Show ended and American Dad is moving to TBS after this season as Fox didn't want it any more. I doubt it'll last more than a season or two on TBS.

Family guy probably won't go on as long as Simpsons. Maybe around Season 15 it'll end.

I was also surprised that Brian died. I'm sure he'll be back soon enough, though.

*ZariusTwo* · 11-26-2013, 09:24 AM

I applaud Macfarlane trying something different with the show, even if it's likely just for a brief period, as, unfortunatly, fanboys never like changes as drastic as this in long running series unless it's with minor characters (and the funny thing is, once things go back to normal, they go right back to saying things are stale)

*Turo602* · 11-26-2013, 09:30 AM

Hasn't he already been confirmed for future episodes? There's no chance in hell he's missing out on that Simpsons crossover. That would be plain dumb.

Yeah he is already slated for future episodes. So its not as bad as everyone thinks.
But I am with you, know way in hell do the leave him out for the simpson's cross-over

*BubblyShell22* · 11-26-2013, 12:13 PM

I'm guessing Brian's death is likely a dream sequence or something like that. But Seth was brave for doing it, and it got a reaction I'm sure didn't count on. I didn't watch it myself, but I'll try and tune in next weekend to see if he's really dead or not. He was kind of killed off in Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story, though that was just an alternate future Stewie was visiting. But he still did die. And Stewie died in "Lois Kills Stewie" even though that was a time machine type deal where Stewie saw the outcome of if he really killed Lois.

But if Brian is really dead, then, wow! Good job, Seth. After all, not all characters can live forever.

**Jester** · 11-26-2013, 05:09 PM

Watched it. Kinda surprised that with all the Washington Redskins stuff going on that no one is making a stink about the whole first act being one big joke at the expense of Native Americans.

*blindturtle02* · 11-26-2013, 05:22 PM

What's this about a Family Guy/Simpsons crossover? Are they seriously doing this?

Considering everything else that occurs in Family Guy, making such a stink would be completely pointless, wouldn't it?
