Seth MacFarlane and the showrunners for ‘FAMILY GUY’ and ‘AMERICAN DAD’ are halting their tools and talents until the WGA strike ends with a fair deal for writers.

Family Guy sucks, yes, but the franchise is still very profitable and a lot of morons

Good for them. Hopefully the writers get what they deserve.

I remember him speaking at the rallies at the last strike, so I'm not surprised.

It doesn't suck, it's the funniest thing on TV besides South Park.

While I don't agree, it's also very weird to me that people are champing at the bit to declare the things they love could be easily replaced with robots because they're seemingly so generic/formulaic.

South Park also sucks

[jbjorsta]

Good argument. Equals to the level of your IQ, I suppose.

American Dad could make a case for being the best show on TV. I love it!!!!!

[moonisaballoon]

I agree, and I hate when Seth is asked to be a performing monkey and do his voices, he NEVER gets asked to do Roger, who is clearly the best one

[thereinventions]

Roger makes that show.

[xpirate_queenx]

Roger is by and large, Seth's best character.

Good! Zaslav better not use this as an excuse to try and axe American Dad, I just know he wants to and I would be livid

[moonisaballoon]

omg I just Googled this because I had no idea, and now I'm also worried.

[thereinventions]

The WB Discovery merger has canned so many things I loved, I really hope zaslav gets gone before the current American Dad contract is up :(
