Family Guy

[Jeffchao228]

I figure I mention this since I know the creator is Pro-American and very much disliked of other shows outside of the US, does this seem to have disrespect for other countries and other animated shows these "Other Countries" try to gain among the viewers?

I ask this because it follows up to why Fox News and News Corp is not liked by most countries, even for such as this 1 million viewership rated show on Adult Swim and Fox.

[Jeebus201]

Maybe the show does well because it's funny.

Just saying.

FG creator and executive producer is a leftwinger, not a rightwinger, that's well doumented I think.

And I think FG does alright in other countries.  I know it's one of those shows that's translated into like a gjillion different languages.  I think even American Dad, which has a "rightwing" lead character, I think gas a decent enough audience abroad.  Probably because they get what's being done with that show, which is - it's sort of a fake right wing show that ultimately comes back toward the left morally.  It's always about how dumbass rightwing Stan messes something up and it has to be fixed, and he learns his lesson - UNTIL NEXT TIME!

But personally I don't think there's any grounds at all to even suggest that there's somehow a correlation between extreme right-wing Fox News, and an animated comedy show by a left-wing writer.

It just doesn't really make any sense to me, at least.

Does 20th Century Fox even have anything to do with Fox News??

I thought it was two different things completely...

[Jeffchao228]

Both are owned by News Corp, the people who think they are the "Top of the world",

And Luuv, it just seems like the viewers make it look like that this show is more pro-American than of that of any Anime, I know King of The Hill and American Dad are Pro-American ways, and they get much more viewership, something Williams Street hates about anime because it does not have these "Factors" that are needed to boost viewership, and the promos are not working, and just since tonight, another Family Guy Ad was aired, I figure Fox and Williams Street are very despreate to get ratings for Comedy just to not get anymore anime and thus one side of the [adult swim] fanbase looses.

[wickedlady4180]

I would say CNN is the network who thinks they're "top of the world."

But, meh.

[ParadiseSlitty]

Pro-American doesn't mean anti-other-countries, though certain people do fall under that umbrella. However, I don't think those people would be the type to watch Family Guy or experience anything that would offend their delicate sensibilities.

Funny+Time Slot=Ratings

[DrStrongBad]

No, that's definitely not it.

[Jeffchao228]

Well apparently this show works well with Demographs with American Dad, Robot Chicken and The Boondocks, so do expect Jeebus to get his way in here, given how the Williams Street Staff hope to keep this show going, but outsource the ratings away from the Williams Street Comdies, and see the Cancelation and removal of anime due to being "Un-American", that is how Williams Street and Jeebus sees it, and Luuv, lets talk on the PMs on this, since I am sure the Family Guy fans are harder insulters to anime than even ATHF fans.

[SpaceshipEDM]

family guy is highest ratest show due to too many 11 year olds staying up past their bedtime.

[Lintball]

I actually thought the show was popular abroad? Esp. in Europe & Japan.

[Lintball]

Bill O Reilly has on occasion called out McFarlane & the FG writers because they bash Faux News in several ways. I really don't see your argument.

[BoanThugsInHarmony]

Seth is left-wing, all the way. The only thing that sets him apart from most liberals is the fact that he does have a patriotic side to him. Alec Sulkin on the other hand, is the personification of a white middle-class liberal douche, and a racist side to top it all off.

[PieMadeOfOrphans]

Anime being cancelled for being Anti-American?

Family Guy having high ratings for being "pro-American"?

...What?
