Some people wouldn't watch a James Woods episode on any given Sunday
The discussion started when Redditor u/Redditors_are_weebs (https://www.reddit.com/r/familyguy/comments/vemzis/unpopular_opinion/) began this thread, "I hate all the James Woods episodes. I think he is [an] unfunny and annoying character. Also I disliked all the episodes surrounding him, especially the first 16:9 episode. He is just as unnecessary and annoying as the giant chicken fights." This kickstarted quite the debate on the social media platform, with people going back and forth between liking and disliking the character. One user who was in agreement with the initial statement mentioned, "[I] do not consider this unpopular at all. I think he sucks. Brian's TV Show is an always skip for me."
Then there were those who made compelling points that the James Woods episodes of "Family Guy" have some pretty funny moments. As u/alexamerling100 reminded us, "The ooh piece of candy (https://youtu.be/__i8-aw20C4) was pretty good lol." Someone else had another fond James Woods moment: "I agree, except there is one James woods moment that makes me laugh out loud every time. When they're doing the Simpsons crossover, they're all in court and James woods is talking to James woods and says, 'oh they're going to lose.'"
"Family Guy" also appears to want to distance itself from James Woods due to controversial opinions the actor has shared in real life. For starters, the show renamed the high school Chris and Meg attend from "James Woods Regional High School" to "Adam West Regional High School" (via IndieWire (https://www.indiewire.com/2018/07/family-guy-adam-west-james-woods-sneak-preview-clip-stranger-things-kanye-west-1201986513/)). While part of the reason for the change was to pay tribute to Adam West, who voiced Quahog's mayor for many years on the show, it was also to "stick it to James Woods," according to star Alex Borstein.
