The BBC won’t make any episodes available to watch on iPlayer, due mainly to rights issues and concerns from the show’s owner Fox, that it won’t be able to stop people watching (and potentially copying) the show.
Isn’t the BBC still showing some episodes of Family Guy?ĭespite the show leaving BBC Three, which is due for the high jump next March, the BBC retains the rights to show episodes from seasons 13 and 14 until 2017, and it’ll show episodes from these seasons on BBC Two and BBC Two HD. Neither Family Guy or ITV Hub have a launch date aside from ‘autumn 2015’. It’s unclear if ITV Hub will ditch Flash in favour of HTML5.

ITV has announced that episodes of the show’s 15th season will be broadcast on ITV2 and ITV 2 HD later this year and will also be streamed online on the ITV Hub – the new-look, new-name edition of the current ITV Player service. Maybe Family Guy should go the route of South Park, F Is For Family and other popular animated comedies and go for a connected story-arch across episodes (as I thought was the case with the few semi-recent "Brian gets an apartment" episodes, but sadly failed to follow through with.Fear not BBC Three fans, you’ll be able to watch new episodes of Family Guy without needing a pay TV subscription. Though I don't find even South Park (one of my favorite shows) offensive, I must say the humor has gotten pretty crass, going for shock value, as seen in that episode especially. The song and dances are all long and tedious too, and the random non-sequitur cutaway scenes are increasingly random time-fillers which aren't funny. Skip over the "long name gag" as they literally spend 1-2 minutes reciting a name and do it 4 times throughout the show as a filler material.
My wife and myself are both questioning whether to continue watching Family Guy after this. Skip right to the last 10 seconds (the only interesting part) and save yourself the pain of watching this. The most recent episode (Season 17, Episode 8 / S17E08) "Con Heiress" is literally the worst Family Guy episode ever! It used to be one of my wife's and my favorite shows, and is none one of our least favorite shows.
South Park really got it right with the idea that dolphins are randomly selecting balls to write the script.įamily Guy standards have lowered soooo much.
After Family Guy hit rock bottom with S17E08 "Con Heiress" its writers take it to a new level of comedy with South Park-esque incorporation of political satire relevant to recent events - and with appearances by a Family Guy-ized Trump, and even connected story arch across episodes (like South Park has employed with much success in recent seasons, and as had hoped would continue to employ with Family Guy after dabbled with it in the Brian Gets Married sequence).Īs to the also recent Season 17, Episode 8 (17E08) "Con Heiress" (Family Guy's worst episode ever by far): Finally, with S17E10-11 we see the first good Family Guy episode in a long time.
