Seth MacFarlane recently shared his thoughts on the possibility of ending Family Guy after 22 seasons. In a new interview, the creator and star of the show discussed the reasons behind its continuous success and whether there is a point where they should consider wrapping it up.
MacFarlane mentioned that, at this point, he sees no good reason to stop producing Family Guy. He highlighted the show’s ability to bring joy to its audience and support various charitable causes. The financial success of the show has allowed them to donate significant amounts to organizations like the Rainforest Trust, while still being profitable enough for the team to enjoy a nice dinner.
While there was a time when MacFarlane considered ending Family Guy, he now feels that the show has gained momentum and reached a point of no return. The only factor that might lead to its cancellation would be a decline in viewership and popularity. As of now, the numbers indicate that the audience still has a strong interest in the show, making its future seem bright.
Family Guy originally premiered in 1999 on Fox but was initially canceled after two seasons. However, due to its popularity in reruns on Cartoon Network and DVD releases, the show was brought back to life by Fox for a third season. Since then, Family Guy has continued to entertain fans every year and is currently in its 22nd season.
MacFarlane lends his voice to several iconic characters on the show, including Peter Griffin, Brian Griffin, Stewie Griffin, and Glenn Quagmire. Seth Green provides the voice for Chris Griffin and Neil Goldman, while Alex Borstein voices Lois Griffin, Tricia Takanawa, Loretta Brown, and Barbara Pewterschmidt. Additionally, Mila Kunis portrays the voice of Meg Griffin.
While the future of Family Guy remains uncertain, Seth MacFarlane’s reflections on the show’s longevity shed light on the dedication and passion of the team behind the animated series. As long as the audience continues to show interest and support for Family Guy, it seems that the show will stay on the air for seasons to come.
