Is it time for Family Guy to end?

It should have stayed cancelled. I hate when they made all the characters jerks.

Family had a pretty bad dip but the show in the last few seasons has been pretty good. I wouldn't end it now.

Yeah, it got much better. The less Seth tries to make it an art piece, the more it succeeds.

>The Simpsons should have ended after their theatrical movie was released in 2007. The series was long zombified at that time but ending with a movie would have been a beautiful sendoff.
>Family Guy should have ended after Brian's death with a movie where Stewie dedicates his life to going back in time only to discover it was a fixed point that cannot be changed. The movie ends with Brian telling a young adult Stewie to "move on". Stewie has a son named Brian at the very end.
>South Park should have ended with You're Getting Old.

what happened here?

seems like a weak reason. Like 1-3 years MAX is more then enough of a grace period to say "This is when shit will end, look for a new job by then"

Harry Shearer has been very vocal about how the Simpsons has fallen in quality, to the point that showrunner Al Jean got mad at him for it.

He always finds something to bitch about. I'd call him based for agreeing with the masses on the show's dip in quality, but he complained about a bunch of stuff as early as seasons 2 and 3.

Well according to reading, he hates the show.

It makes absolutely zero difference to me either way. I am truly free.

I agree. how hard is it say hey guys I'm ending this in 20XX, be ready.

Does Seth even have the power to end the show? He's with NBC now and even if he pulled all support from it, Disney could still continue it without what little input he has left in it.

This, plus FG is a timeslot hog. It's preventing new shows from getting their footing. I'm sure the writing staff is happy with their payrate but I can't imagine they're artistically satisfied writing this every week
>show opens with the family watching tv, allowing for a cheap throwaway pop culture reference
>Lois wants Peter to do thing
>Peter does thing but finds object
>Peter spends several minutes annoying people with object
>Peter loses/destroys object but also stumbles upon the person or thing that kicks off the A plot
>B plot is Brian being a hack while Stewie is gay
I can't even blame them for using that formula. What else can be done with a Simpsons formula anymore?

I wish they'd focus on more characters that normally don't get much focus. Those are the more interesting episodes, now days the episodes focusing mainly on the Griffin family (which is most of them) are boring.

If I remember an interview he did a few years back...
>Family Guy
A voice actor and former writer. He has since stepped away from writing for the show to work on other projects. He occasionally provides input on scripts now.
>American Dad!
Is only a voice actor but has made a few suggestions on what Roger's persona(s) should be in later seasons.

yah, but he could leave. IDK the specifics of the contract, but he does a lot of the voices right? and him unlike most cartoon creaters is kinda a big part of that brand, they could probably hire someone to replace seth I guess, But idk if it would work out great for them. Not saying seth is some genius or something, but it is really known as basicly the "seth show"

The Simpsons was actually close to ending 10 years ago. Holidays of Future Passed was supposed to be the Series Finale, but since the cast renewed their contract that year, they kept it going. If we're being honest, The Simpsons will probably end when at least 50% of the main characters die IRL.

Honestly which one do you think is most likely to end next?

Arthur already ended.

South Park. They're not even doing regular seasons anymore, yeah? Just TV (Streaming) movies? Due to how South Park is written they could technically keep it going forever, but I suspect Matt & Trey are getting tired of it at this point.

Well
>Arthur ended in 2021 with the last episode airing in 2022
>Family Guy and Simpsons are only kept alive nowadays due to their syndicated and merchandise rights.
>Spongebob is the only IP keeping Nick alive at this point. Everything else the channel releases has niche appeal.
>South Park is slowly dying as Matt and Trey have released too many episodes critical of different topics that have alienated their fanbase.

wait so all of those shows are stilling airing in 2022? my guess is spongebob would be the first one down

Arthur ended earlier this year.

Between the four remaining shows, I would think that South Park is most likely to end at all. It's the only one where the creators have enough to say to decide when it should stop. I think Spongebob will still be airing new episodes when we're all long since dead, assuming there hasn't been a world ending catastrophe.

Then it can't end next can it? You retard.

I've said it countless times but the executive at FOX (or now Disney) that decides to end the Simpsons will have committed career suicide due to how that is how they will be remembered.

says something about the quality of contemporary tv shows.

lmao from dead viewership or something?

Wow, you really found the point and regurgitated it without hesitation.

I’d be surprised if it’s spongebob. Nick seems to still be milking it hard and with the camp coral spin off I feel they’ll keep doing that unless the series starts dipping in popularity. But out of all of these I feel like SB is the most popular even if it’s just for meme reasons. I guess they could cancel the show and still sell mercy or whatever.
It’s probably gonna be South Park
or family guy unless Simpsons cast members start dying. I believe this show will keep going until they literally can’t anymore and then reboot it in like ten years.

I don’t think anyone outside of “the biz” can name any executives for television

Feels like Howard Stern still doing his show even though he has no passion for it anymore. He doesn't want those people working there to be out of a job

shit bruh i feel depressed wondering that

>He doesn't want those people working there to be out of a job
He likes money, user. A lot.

The overall fan outcry and people inside the industry who will hold grudges about the show being canceled will be the situation.
Nick has been milking the Spongebob IP hard and none of the spin-offs have found anything close to success.
>Patrick Show was a flop
>Camp Coral has been laughed at due to its bad CGI and by long-time fans for the lore changes
>the last 2 movies received lukewarm ratings
Anything else that Nick attempts to milk will face similar issues.

SpongeBob is the Bugs Bunny/Mickey Mouse of Nickelodeon/Paramount. They've squeezed him yet there's still water left in the boy. He's a legendary cartoon character now.

ViacomCBS/Paramount is definitely paying South Park Studios big bucks to continue South Park.

I don't think ViacomCBS/Paramount can survive without SpongeBob or South Park. There's no other shit popular enough to attract eyeballs. I feel like they dropped the ball with Star Trek and millennials- they should have hooked them while they were young like Star Wars did.

Seth is likely to leave Family Guy. He hates FOX and he's working with NBC more. When Seth leaves, I can't imagine Family Guy going on without him. Seth was the show in the 2000s.

Disney/FOX will probably keep pushing out The Simpsons no matter who dies. They're like Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse in a way- there's no stopping them.

>Howard Stern still doing his show even though he has no passion for it anymore
My friend's older brother worked on Stern's show about a decade back. Howard, back then, had gone into full boomer mode about hating things. With Trump's election, vaccinations, and other topics that display how he is full Dem-dick sucking. I shudder to think how he is when the mic is off. The stories I was told made me hate that man.

You know, I got to 110% agree with you.
The only thing that I wonder about is WHEN Seth does leave Family Guy due to his multiple disagreements with FOX. Will he continue voicing the characters or walk away entirely?

Why? It makes him money and didn't spear head his career until after it became lame. It lets him fun other projects and he just has to show up to do voice work from time to time. Literally turn key.

Because the show's gone on too long. He said back in 2011 that seven seasons is basically the longest a show should run and that he secretly wishes people would come up to him on the street and tell that it should end. This was 11 years ago, do you think it's gotten any better? Seth and the rest of the staff were open, for instance, about how much they HATED doing the Star Wars parodies after the first one but Fox kept forcing them to make them because they were popular. He openly hates Fox itself and bolted from them to NBCUniversal. All he's really doing is voicing the characters for a paycheck but it's clear he's otherwise done with the show and wants it to end and has felt this way for a very long time but Fox refuses to let it end.

I'll say South Park ends once they've finished up these specials/movies they're contracted for. The Simpsons ends if Nancy Cartwright or Dan Castellaneta die or leave because I think that the show could (in theory) survive without Lisa or Marge or even someone like Flanders or Skinner but it can't survive without Bart or Homer.

South Park will end when Matt & Trey leave. The Simpsons would only find new life in inevitable spinoffs.

Share some

I say SpongeBob.

it should've ended with the movie but they would've just brought it back a few years later anyways.

epitome of beanmouth

>Hey Peter, did you play the new Paper Mario game?

>unless Simpsons cast members start dying
What if…what if the whole Apu controversy was an inside job to get people more accepting of voice actor changes so they can keep the show going after they’re all dead or can’t anymore? I mean Christ Marge sounds nothing like herself anymore.

If it ends with Season 21, then I'd say the Disney era is Family Guy's redemption arc. South Park and The Simpsons need to really end too, especially since SP is gonna run to Season 30, and Simpsons is likely gonna get ruined for Season 35 and 36.

It's probably been better than it's been post-cancellation now than it was at any other point than I can remember.

However, I really can't see a reason it should continue to go on outside of the fact that a lot of adult animation on Fox is mid-tier to shit-tier

fpbp
Seth hates it for the same reason Matt hates the Simpsons. Binding contract won't allow both series to end. Zombie Family Guy is now a thing.

> simpsons movie
> beautiful sendoff

you guys don’t have to make up excuses to pretend the movie was good

Besides the fact that Arthur has already ended, realistically, I'd say South Park. Matt and Trey are still giving a good effort, but all the signalling they've been doing for years now is that they're tired of South Park and they've been pursuing other ventures.
Maybe Family Guy will end soon too, but that's a decision that Fox would have to make and I can't see them actually pulling the trigger on that.

The (((Networks))) will hang on to their cash cows for as long as they can. Also Arthur ended first.

This.

Spongebob will end and the next day Nick will announce they're doing a new series called "The New Spongebob Squarepants Show" where Spongebob pulls a Cleveland Show and moves to a new town with a new family.

>The stories I was told made me hate that man.
I won't believe you until you share some

You can't just say that and not give out deets man.
