Family Guy moving to ITV2

Grab All Association

I'm worried ITV2 will heavily edit it and show 10 minutes of adverts in between.

I noticed lately we go on a lot about the PC brigade in AH so here's one for you. Was it feminist extremists/PC brigade behind BBC's decision not to pay more for it even though it was the highest rated show on BBC Three (which is set to go online only next year) ?


Poll for Family Guy fans only (and yes the show has gone downhill like The Simpsons has though beats The Simpsons in ratings)

NO BOB'S BURGERS FANS.

Will you watch Family Guy on ITV2?

Nope, I'll watch it on FX

Who gives a sh*t. Family guy stopped being funny years ago.

Maybe the BBC got fed up of Family Guy's constant flashback scenes in an attempt to try and be funny.

To be honest I highly doubt that FOX would allow allow them to edit it.

And anyway if they did, no one would watch - people don't watch family guy for the gripping story lines, they watch it for the crass humour.

The Backwards Man

This reminds of earlier on today.

I haven't seen Neighbours since my college days, which is a year or twenty ago. May 1998 to be precise. All I remember from back them is Lou making funny noises and Harold coming back from the dead.

Tuning in Channel 5 for an oul wan today, Neighbours was on, and guess what?

There was Lou, making funny noises, and Harold, back from the dead.

Soaps are crap, even animated ones. Fcuk the telly out the window and go on the beer.

If only there was some method of watching it without having to deal with ads and scheduled timing.

It is a 20-22 minute programme, they will need 10 minutes of ads and promos to fit a 30 minute slot.

Well, you have answered your own question no haven't you. They aren't going to spend money on expensive imports for a channel they are closing down later this year are they?

Besides it has been BBC policy for some time now not to compete with commercial broadcasters for expensive US imports. Because they are broadcast unencrypted on satellite they often have to pay more for them than other channels as well. There are few if any US shows they still have rights for any more, with their current cost-cutting this will not change any time soon.

Oh, also family guy is a bit sh/t really anyway.

What's wrong with Bob's Burgers?

Better than modern Simpsons and Family Guy by a distance.
