Some thing Family Guy Should Stop Doing - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

What are some things you all believe Family Guy should definately stop doing? Mine are:

Enough with the constant Brian/Stewie adventures

Stop spoofing Star Wars, Indiana Jones, The Goonies, The Griswalds, and Back To The Future. (spoof other 80's movies!)

Stop having hour long specials (let American Dad have one for once!)

Playing songs that aren't fitting to the sitaution the characters are in. Example of this is that episode "Patriot Games" where Peter sings Shipoopi after he makes a touchdown.

It should've been Dire Straits 'Walk Of Life'. That song would've been more fitting during that scene.

The Blues Brothers would be a good movie to spoof (if they haven't already!).

Show differant teams and let Brian and Stewie team up with the other characters.

Develop Meg, Chris and Lois more. Peter,Brian and Stewie are way over developed.

I think "Family Guy" should poke fun at classic films like "The Wizard of OZ", "Gone with the Wind", "Citizen Kane" or "Casablanca".

I can see the "Gone with the Wind" spoof with Lois as Scarlett, Peter as Rhett, Brian as Ashley, Cleveland Brown as Pork, and the Pewterschmidts as Mr. and Mrs. O'Hara.

There's no such thing as an hour-long episode of a half-hour series. These are 2-parters (note the different production numbers on each half hour) and are shown as such in syndication. (Note: Reruns on cable networks such as Cartoon Network are not syndicated episodes.) All series have 2-parters. An odd thing to complain about.
