Yeah, I admit I am. It'll probably end up disappointing me, but I always enjoy crossovers.

I am a big Family Guy fan, but I admit that the season premiere wasn't as good as last year's whodunnit. I expect better and I hope this triple crossover will do the trick.

Brian, do you agree with me that it's time to start thinking about an end game (if that even applies) for Family Guy? It hasn't been the same for a while...maybe some improvement last season but for me, they've pretty much played themselves out and are getting into the "let's be gross for gross' sake" category.

Hmmm, good question... On one hand, Seth shows at times he can still bring the laughs like the whodunnit episode last year. Then you have the utter crap like the episode where Stewie and Brian were stuck in a bank vault. They were renewed for this year and next if I am not mistaken? I would let him (Seth Macfarlane) decide when enough is enough. I *think* he is aware of when his show is long in the tooth.

With all that said, maybe, just maybe Family Guy should at least start to consider the dreaded end game.

Yeah the whodunnit was the highlight of last year for me.

They've pretty much ended the following storylines: Brian's love for Lois, Stewie's quest to kill Lois, the "picking on Meg" thing, the Evil Monkey story, the "do Brian and Stewie love or hate each other?" story, Herbert's lust for Chris, and others.

Just seems like they're reaching the natural end, to me at least.

All good points...the question is will FOX even let him consider dropping the cash cow which is Family Guy?

Oh, I imagine they'll want it to air as long as it gets good ratings, regardless of quality!

True, that is why The Simpsons have been on as long as they have been.

Liked FG and Cleveland, didn't get to see AD though. I thought the first two were good but more serious than I expected. Nice to see a consistent plot on those shows for once.
