Family Guy Seth Macfarlane

Family Guy writer threw their fans a curveball on Sunday, 24 November, night by killing off one of the show's main characters, ending their eleven season run in the hit FOX animation for good. As fans react angrily online, the show's executive producers have since come forward in order to explain the character's axing and ask fans to see this as the start of something new, rather than the end of an era.

No more wacky adventures for these two

[Spoilers] Titled 'Life of Brian,' the latest episode of the current season began with Stewie destroying his time machine after too many near-misses tht could alter the space-time continuum, immediately ending any chance he might have of saving the beloved family dog Brian.

Fox Pulls 'Family Guy' Episode After Boston Bombings Clip Goes Viral


Seth Macfarlane Family Guy Chris Morris

Fox television has pulled an episode of Seth Macfarlane's animated series 'Family Guy' from television and internet sites after several unrelated clips were spliced together to depict a bombing at the Boston Marathon. Creator MacFarlane slammed the mash-up as "abhorrent," after it came just a day after two bombs killed three people and wounded 176 at the finish line of the annual marathon.

A Fox spokeswoman said the network had pulled the recent 'Turban Cowboy' episode of Family Guy from being rebroadcast, and that network officials were working to take down YouTube videos. The clips are taken from an episode in which character Peter Griffin drunkenly drives over runners in order to win the Boston Marathon, though the makers of the video took advantage of an unconnected storyline in which Peter unknowingly becomes friends with an extremist who gives him a cell-phone which detonates a bomb. "The edited Family Guy clip currently circulating is abhorrent. The event was a crime and a tragedy, and my thoughts are with the victims," MacFarlane, who recently hosted the Oscars, wrote on Twitter.

Television networks in the US frequently review material that might be considered sensitive after national tragedies such as the marathon bombings. Similar reviews were conducted following the Newton, Connecticut school shootings and Superstorm Sandy in 2012. In the UK, Film4 has dropped the movie Four Lions from its schedule next week. Chris Morris' comedy is about a group of British Muslims planning a bomb attack at the London marathon.

Fox Cancels Family Guy Episode In Light Of Connecticut Shooting


Family Guy

Fox has made the decision not to air upcoming episodes of Family Guy and American Dad in light of the yesterday’s (14th December) school shooting in Connecticut.

The episodes, titled 'Jesus, Mary and Joseph' and 'Mistrel Krampus,' reportedly feature sensitive content, which might trigger negative reactions in viewers. Exactly what that content may be is unknown, however both shows have a history of treating topics like violence, sexual assault and substance abuse less than delicately, so this is probably a wise decision on Fox’s part. The network has also cancelled this week’s episode of The Cleveland Show.

Despite these being three of the network’s most popular shows, it looks like Seth McFarlane’s writing is proving too harsh in this delicate time for the American nation. Besides a period of mourning for the entire nation, Friday’s shooting has also sparked a re-boot of the heated gun control debate and, as the shows are known for their frequent, less-than-sensitive political commentary, this may have been another reason for the cancellations.
