At half the length, Seth MacFarlane’s drama could cut out a lot of dead weight.

It could work.

No. If people are looking for a straight-up comedy then they should stop watching the show.

obviously written by someone who has never watched the show and just wants it to be a live-action version of Family Guy

On second thought, it's best to leave it the way it is. Despite some flaws, it's pretty good.
