RIP Brian Griffin |

Family Guy shocked us all yesterday (different than they normally do), when they killed off the family dog Brian. No one knew (or possibly cared) that it was coming. Now that we know that our favorite talking dog since Scrappy Doo is hanging out at the Rainbow Bridge, we suddenly care.
The once cancelled animated show didn’t even give us time to grieve because they replaced him with a new dog before the episode ended. Peter’s new best friend is named Vinny and I haven’t been this upset about a change since Felicity cut her hair off. The new addition is such a turn off to me that I am thinking of giving up the show.
Hey Seth MacFarlane, is there any way you can do what you did in Ted and bring back Brian? Afterall it is a cartoon and dogs can come back without an issue.
Take note The Simpsons and be careful who you kill off because I think people will feel the same way as I do about the death/replacement of a fan favorite.

Dads actually got a full season order! |

So when I watched the pilot for Dads the first time, I hated it. Then I watched it again and found myself actually laughing a lot. So much so that I decided to check out another episode. Well now I find myself watching the show every week and laughing much more than I should. I guess I am not alone because Fox gave the Seth MacFarlane live-action show a full season.
And the news is also good over at Lifetime because even though they tried to kill Drop Dead Diva, they announced today that show will be back for another season. The 13-episode sixth season will air some time next year.

Believe it or not Fox ordered 6 more scripts from Dad! |

When the screeners went out for Dads, the critics universally hated it. I was one of them who hated everything about it. Then I watched the rest of Fox’s new sitcoms and I realized it was their best new comedy. In fact after a second viewing I found myself actually liking it, so much so I now watch it every week.
Well turns out I am not alone because Fox ordered six more scripts from the freshman show according to Variety. While that doesn’t mean the show will make those episodes, there is a pretty good chance they will. Especially since they cancelled the midseason animated show Murder Police before it even aired, so they are going to need to keep something else on the air to fill the whole.

Even Seth MacFarlane’s dad is distancing himself from Dads? |

Seth MacFarlane’s new show, Dads, has rightfully been critically panned and looks like even his own dad, Ron MacFarlane, doesn’t want to be associated with it. His proud pop Tweeted, “Seth’s new show, ‘Dads’ is not about me.” That is a good thing because when you see the show, you will see that no man wants to be seen as the inspiration for the title roles.
Dads is seriously one of the worst new shows of the upcoming season, but I am not sure it is the worst. Close, very very close.

TBS kidnapps American Dad from Fox! |

TBS announced today that starting next season, American Dad will be airing new episodes there instead of on Fox. Seth MacFarlane’s show will air its 10th season on Fox and then begin it’s 11th on TBS late next year.
Which makes me think that Fox is so pissed at Seth MacFarlane for Dads that they’re sending American Dad to another network as punishment. Not that I have a problem with it because I think it is better fit for the animated sitcom.
