5 Reasons Why Family Guy Needs To Be Axed

2. The Music Videos

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzig8muClrc This is the thing that annoys me most about Family Guy. The inclusion of music videos to pad out the episodes. And we€™re not talking little snippets of music videos. The writers decide to be lazy as hell and stick full length music videos in some episodes just because it means that there€™s four minutes less story and dialogue to come up with. If you are either incapable of or don€™t have the will to write a twenty minute episode that€™s filled with interchangeable cutaway gags, then you should not be working in the television industry. Compare that to somebody like Roy Clarke who wrote all two-hundred-and-ninety-five episodes of Britcom Last Of The Summer Wine (none of which were shorter than thirty minutes, and several of which were as long as ninety minutes) and it€™s clear how much of a truly lazy tactic this is.
