Seth MacFarlane kinda thinks Family Guy should have ended already
Having attained the sort of unflinching, honest perspective that can only be afforded by being rich and powerful enough to not particularly care anymore, Seth MacFarlane says he has mixed feelings about the future of his flagship show, currently in its tenth season. “Part of me thinks that Family Guy should have already ended. I think seven seasons is about the right lifespan for a TV series,” MacFarlane tells The Hollywood Reporter, adding, “I talk to the fans and in a way I'm kind of secretly hoping for them to say we're done with it. There are plenty of people who say the show is kind of over the hill … but still the vast majority go pale in the face when I mention the possibility.” So as long as Family Guy fans continue to lose all pigmentation when MacFarlane suggests an endpoint, he’ll continue to keep making them. But were it totally up to him, he says, he’d concentrate on doing “a really fantastic final episode” followed by “a movie once every couple of years.” It’ll be just like Sex And The City, only a little grosser!
