Family Guy's run its course


It's time to call it quits.

Each television show has a shelf life before the material becomes stale and the quality lessens. For "Family Guy," its time is up.

Since season four, the quality of the show has steadily decreased, relying more and more on inside jokes and breaking down the fourth wall. It's nothing more than inane filler and lackadaisical writing, capitalizing on the fact that its fans don't ask for anything more.

It's sad. I've been a fan of the show since it first launched on Fox, but I find it difficult watching the show's predictable jokes and mediocre plots. It's like watching "The Simpsons" from 2001 to 2007 — very hit or miss.
