Like many times, this thought was inspired by a conversation on Facebook. Friend #1 Time for a debate. If you could eliminate one sci-fi / fantasy / Comic book universe from fandom in general which one would it be and why? Friend #2 Family Guy. The humor is shock for shock's sake, it promotes abuse on women (Meg), it turns literally anything into a cliche, and it's only around because Seth MacFarlane had a hangover which caused him to miss his flight on 9/11. Friend #3 Plus they're really problematic on LGBT issues Friend #4 Agreed. It runs it's course and stops being entertaining. My thoughts: I haven't watched the show for five years. I liked the show at first. After a while I would watch through painful humor for one of two good laughs. About March 2011 they released the episode "Hand that Rocks the Wheelchair" where evil Stewie cuts a woman in half. After that I was like "Done!" I didn't watch it for almost two years after that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5reFMrtytTk What was ironic, I actually gave the show another chance in 2012 while in Kuwait and Family Guy was on in the MWR recreation center. They had an episode with a cat, and I missed my cat. So naturally when Peter kills the cat I regretted the time wasted on the show and was REALLY done after that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uT40KQiJEFk The above two were the two I had issue with. Other people have had issues with other occurrences in the show such as those listed by friends 2-4 above. believe in freedom of speech and not advocating the cancellation of Family Guy, but I will say other shows were cancelled for much less. -Doctor Clu
