It doesn’t seem likely that Fox will ever cancel Family Guy, either, so here’s hoping things do indeed pick up storywise.
But for all that I can sit here agreeing with what Alec Sulkin said in his interview with Splitsider, I do still watch the Fox show on a regular basis, because there are jokes on Family Guy that won’t be seen or heard on other shows (for better or worse).
And Sulkin speaks highly of upcoming episodes, such as a three-part arc about Brian facing a stiff Internet backlash, as well as an episode focused on putting Brian and Stewie into the world of Sherlock Holmes, so it sounds like they’re working on bulking up the stories to minimize the fluff.
