SAVE FAMILY GUY PETITION
 

Everyone please sign this and try and save the amazing show of family guy!!!

http://www.petitiononline.com/savefg2/petition.html

save from what.. it's not in production anymore.

I can't boycotte Gold Bond... I'm a large fellow and it's mighty hot out!

i'll sign, family guy is funny as hell.

I think the show's pretty dead. Even if fox wanted it back, which would never happen, the people working on it broke up long ago to work on other things. It would be too hard to bring everyone back together.

Yeah, I wish it was still on and would love it if it came back but I just don't see it happening. I think we'll just have to settle for the reruns.

family guy is out on DVD guys. go buy season 1 and 2 now. season 3 will be out in a couple of days!!!

That's alot of signitures better add one mroe.

Online petitions: is there anything they can't do? Aside from produce any sort of result, I mean.

Good idea. I'm working on petitions to save "Fish Police" and "The Critic". sk

Dude it's not going to work. The creator has gone on to new things. Just give up.

family guy will return in some form or another.. the creator said this himself..

slow on this one aren't we DJP?!?!?!?!?!?!

...as has been said by various others, if you want to support Family Guy, signing an online petetion isn't going to do anything in this day in age. If you want to support the show, buy the DVD. It's the most concrete evidence of viewer loyalty we can produce. The creator said in an interview that there was a possibility of a straight-to-video movie.

a movie? I can't even imagine what that might entail. It will probably be funny though... is there anybody who doesn't like it?

ha ha.

i signed it. but i dont know how much it is gonna impact fox's mind.

As stated by Ganguro, there is no reason to sign this, what's done is done. You can come over anytime to watch it on DVD you wackey ass you.

Please God no...

I HATE that show.

And to think they're canceling Futurama!!!

What is wrong with Fox?!!!


Mr Mephisto

Wooo! go family guy

Kadath: Bullseye

Nothing is more impotent than an online petitiion. The big thing with petitions, letter writing campaigns, and the like is that the target of the campaign needs to see how dedicated the organizer and contributor of the campaign are.

A sea of written letters with postage attached to each one is good. Tens of thousands of hand collected signatures & addresses is good.

A web page written for petitions that requires 3 minutes of work from the organizer, 5 seconds of work from each participant, and if anything offers a gaurantee that a good portion of the signatures are fake or duplicates does not send a strong message.

Now if everyone had started writing real letters to FOX, collecting signatures by hand, and writing real letters to all of FOX's advertisers stating they weren't going to be watching FOX anymore because of this, etc... there might have been results.

Shows have been saved in the past and this is the type of work that accomplished that.

Of course I can't stand on a pulpit here, I'm to lazy to do anything. Just wanted to put this out as an FYI for people that actually think they can make a difference by signing a web petition.

you werent lazy enough to post that lengthy opinion.......

If this show returns, it won't be on fox. Cartoon Network, or Comedy Central most likely. And the creator is working on another project, so if that doesn't work out, we can probably expect more episodes of the Family Guy.

matteo101:

I was too lazy to post a shorter one though.

For me writing is a ten step process:

1) Dump everything onto paper/computer

2) Edit for grammar, reduce rambling, focus, increase readability.

3) repeat 2

....

1 is easy, the rest take too much time. Especiall in a tiny little text box.

I think the show needed to be put down like the dying horse it was near the end.

There was only so far you could take that concept of a show, ESPECIALLY with Fox's lackluster treament of it.

Yeah, when will people realize that online/email petitions aren't recognized by anyone? How hard is it for one person to make a list of 10,000 names online (compared to 10,000 unique signatures)

I'll sign it, but I can't boycott Subway...three more months of 6-inch subs and I'll be as fit as Jared!

I didn't sign it because I don't think it will be revived. I do like the show though. It is hilarious and much more funny than The Simpsons most of the time.

holy crap they cancelled Family guy??

the reason i signed it is not because i believe it will be revived because that is unrealistic...i just want to sign it because somebody from fox someday will come across it and see 117 000 signitures and feel like an idiot for canceling it...

Keep it up guys, WE CAN SAVE PETER!!!

Is there a petition to sign calling for every last episode and master copy to be deleted, shredded, burnt and buried at midnight, at cross-roads near to a unconsecrated grave-yard?

I'll sign that!

Mr Mephisto

I would sign it if i actually believed it would make any difference. And Mr Mephisto what are you talking about, family was awesome.

wow........they saved it.

and the series re-premire was actually pretty fucking funny. not all of it was extraordinarily funny, but they didnt suffer from trying to be funny, which was good.

on the other hand, based on the first episode of American Dad, that i saw after the Super Bowl, i can safely say that i have no interest in that show one bit.

No, ridiculously profitable sales of the DVD set saved it. Fox, like any successful company, cares about the bottom line, not the desires of the viewers.

ah but my dear Kadath... viewers *are* profit... when people are watching they make more money.

hehehe, you revived this thread just to stick it to all the people who said "it'll never happen, get over it", huh? :D

That's very true, sir, but the vast majority of people who tune in for Family Guy would never bother to sign a petition to save it. There were approximately 140,000 signatures on that petition -- I'd say FG had at LEAST 10 million viewers last night. 140,000 kind of pales in comparison, doesn't it?

i love the opening line...

listing all the shows that came on that needed to be cancelled before Family Guy got a shot again... that was funny.
