The Family Guy series is no longer owned by FOX, but Disney Entertainment co-chair Dana Walden has indicated that there are no immediate plans to remove the comedy from the network. Still, sometimes plans change. With all of FOX’s other animated comedies, could the network be the one to drop Family Guy instead? Will it be cancelled or renewed for season 24 and stay on FOX? Stay tuned.
An animated comedy series, Family Guy stars voice actors Seth MacFarlane, Alex Borstein, Mila Kunis, Seth Green, Patrick Warburton, and Arif Zahir. The series follows stereotypical sitcom dad Peter Griffin (MacFarlane). Overweight and kinda dim, Peter is close to his family but is also a heavy drinker. A piano teacher, wife Lois (Borstein) is a stay-at-home mother and usually ends up being the impatient voice of reason. An outcast at school, 18-year-old Meg (Kunis) is the family’s preferred dumping ground. Overweight like his dad, 13-year-old Chris (Green) is socially awkward and clueless, especially when it comes to the opposite sex. The baby of the family, one-year-old Stewie (MacFarlane), is diabolically clever, if sexually confused. Rounding out the Griffin family is their talking dog, Brian (MacFarlane). A ladies’ “man” who is particularly devoted to Lois, Brian is about one step away from AA. IStorylines in the 23rd season, include a Top Gun parody, Peter realizes Joe (Warburton) has never found him funny, Lois chaperones Chris and Meg’s school trip, and Peter switches places with a Supreme Court Justice.

What do you think? Do you like the Family Guy TV series on FOX? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a 24th season?
Used to love this show but the last few years it seems the writers just can’t help but put their ignorant loathing of half the US population on full display, disproportionately injecting their leftist views at every given opportunity. Can’t beat the first decade or so of classic Family Guy!
Sorry, but watching these cartoons doesn’t interest me at all!!!
