It seems like there's a pattern forming with family guy: the episode quality is plummeting as the series goes on. Sure, this may seem like many other shows, but i've never seen a show take a dive this fast in so short of time before. Things started going bad in season 9, but they were still pretty good, and it simply seemed like a normal downturn; but lately between season 12 and 13 mostly, everything has plummeted in quality. In fact the new simpsons episodes are better than this crap, and I'm pretty sure anyone could write better material. It's as if the old writing staff got replaced with a much lazier version that wants to see family guy off the air. Whoever is in charge, FIRE YOUR LAZY GOOD FOR NOTHING WRITING STAFF and hire people who actually enjoy writing funny material. Otherwise, i really hope family guy doesn't have another season.
