TBS, Fox Cartoon Network, Syndication … you have ruined Family Guy

I loved the Family Guy. I thought it was one of the most groundbreaking cartoons aimed at adults in years—comparable to the min-1990s seasons of The Simpsons. It did everything right. It pushed the enveloped, mildly offended and entertained. But now that it’s on regular rotation on four different networks — TBS, Fox Cartoon Network and syndicated locally on Channel 24 — the show has been ruined.
Now TBS and Cartoon Network have been running reruns of Family Guy for years, and those stations and DVD sales are the reason Family Guy was brought back to network television. But to continue running it in syndication on numerous networks is stupid. On some nights there is three hours of Family Guy on.
Come on. There are only five seasons in syndication. Law & Order isn’t on as much as Family Guy, and that show has been on the air for nearly 20 years and has had two successful spin-offs. Please, I’m begging you. Take Family Guy off of cable. You are ruining an awesome show.
